The Dark Urge was found by {{CharLink|Kressa Bonedaughter}} who, impressed with their willpower and resistance to the elder brain's influence, began to study them. She would cut them open and put them back together repeatedly over the course of several days in the mind flayer colony, during which the Dark Urge was unable to speak or do anything but attempt to inflict violence on themself or others.{{ref|name=kressapast|Dialogue with Kressa Bonedaughter. <br>''"I remember finding you close to death, beaten black and blue on the floor of this sanctum. It must have been a few hours after the tadpole was placed in your skull. How you got here was a total mystery, but I stitched you up just enough to keep you alive, then placed you within your crib. [...] We had such a close bond. I opened you up endlessly with my scalpels, and got lost in your insides. [...] It has never been the same with another... All the other victims who come here just meekly obey. You thrashed, you fought, you were indomitable."''}}{{ref|name=kressanotes}} | The Dark Urge was found by {{CharLink|Kressa Bonedaughter}} who, impressed with their willpower and resistance to the elder brain's influence, began to study them.
