— Sceleritas Fel introducing himself to The Dark Urge. |
Act One
Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
During The Urge, the player will suddenly find that they have murdered Alfira (Or Quil, a Dragonborn Bard, if Alfira is unavailable). Whether they embrace this murder or not, Sceleritas Fel will reveal themselves as their humble butler, giving small hints as to what kind of person the Dark Urge may have been. He actively encourages the Dark Urge to commit more deplorable acts of murder, claiming they should "Be true to yourself, my Lord." He will gift the player with The Deathstalker Mantle as a reward for murdering the Bard, and will leave them to their business.
Act Two
Sceleritas will appear again while in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, this time with a new task. He insists for the player to kill Isobel, and by extension, cause the deaths of everyone within the Last Light Inn. If he is refused, he will appear once more to inform the player that they will attempt to kill either their closest companion, or their lover, because they did not sate their urge, and will in fact encourage it in hopes to get The Dark Urge back into the good graces of "Father." He will express great disappointment if they try to resist.
If the player kills Isobel, Sceleritas will visit them and bestow upon them the Slayer form, a powerful ability allowing the Dark Urge to take on the form of a monstrous, giant being with four arms, razor claws, and terrifying mandibles - an ability only given to the favored of Bhaal.
Act Three
Sceleritas Fel appears again within the Temple of Bhaal to welcome the player "Home." He is aware of the duel between the player and Orin, and will personally open the door for them. It is clear that he and Orin are not allies, as Orin kills him frequently, up to three times a day, and Sceleritas would much prefer being killed by the player. Once Orin has been defeated, several blades will appear from his body, seeming to stab through him. Within the reflection of his blood is the Avatar of Bhaal, who appears identical to Sceleritas, albeit with glowing red eyes, and a deep, imposing voice. The Avatar will offer the Dark Urge to become their Chosen, whether they have been resisting or indulging their urge up to this point.
Should the player accept, the Avatar will grant the player the Slayer form if they did not previously have it, and will allow for the player to pursue controlling the Absolute in the name of Bhaal.
Should the player refuse, the Avatar will drain the essence of Bhaal from the Dark Urge, killing them, before they are ultimately resurrected by Withers, free of the Dark Urge forever, ending The Urge.
Notes
- Sceleritas can not be fought in combat, but he has several stats and resistances when found as a corpse at the end of The Urge.
