Gale's appearance in EA

Gale is an Origin character and Companion in Baldur's Gate 3. He is a Human Wizard with the Sage background.

Origin characters can be played as the main character, otherwise, they can be recruited as a companion early on.

There's a gust of Weave about you, but it's a mere breeze. I need a tempest.
Gale, in search of powerful magic


Gameplay

As a Wizard, Gale excels at learning and casting a wide variety of arcane Spells. Using his Arcane Recovery ability, he can keep casting spells long after other spellcasters have run out of Spell Slots.

Wizards have the unique ability to learn more spells from spell scrolls they find in their travels, although these spells must be ones they could normally learn on a level-up.

At Level 2, Gale can specialise in a school of magic, allowing him to learn spells from that school of magic for reduced cost. This specialization also grants Gale extremely powerful bonuses to spells cast from that school of magic.

Recruitment

Gale can be recruited in Act One.

  • Gale is first encountered when approaching the Roadside Cliffs Ancient Rune Circle, north of the Ravaged Beach and near the Nautiloid crash site. Upon drawing near the circle, Gale will emerge from it. He will suggest joining forces to increase their chances of finding a solution to their Tadpole infection. If the player agrees, Gale will join the party.
  • It is possible to fail the Strength checks needed to pull him out of the portal.

Background

From a young age, Gale was a prodigy with magic, manipulating magic like a skilled virtuoso plays music. He lived in Waterdeep. He has a tressym called Tara. His talent drew the attention of the Goddess of Magic herself, Mystra, whom was so taken by his skill that she revealed to him arcane secrets known by few others. They shared an intimate relationship until one day Mystra grew distant and disappeared, seemingly displeased with Gale. Spurned by his goddess, Gale lost most of his incredible magical prowess, although he was still a more than capable wizard.

Determined to gain her affections back, Gale sought out a dangerous tome with the objective of returning some lost magic back to his beloved goddess. Ultimately, Gale failed in his endeavour and his body became an unwitting host to an extremely destructive Netherese orb. To keep the orb inhabiting and corrupting his body in check, Gale must continually sate it with powerful magical artefacts - if he fails, the orb will detonate, bearing enough destructive power to bring down even whole cities, and Gale with them.

Personal Quest

Gale's Companion Quest is: The Wizard of Waterdeep

Personality
