Involvement[edit | edit source]

In Baldur's Gate, he can be found inside The Lodge just past the main door. If you completed the Steal a Githyanki Egg quest and have the egg on you, Havkelaag will offer to purchase it from you for 1000 gold to perform an experiment on raising a githyanki child from birth. If you gave the egg to his colleague Lady Esther, Havkelaag will be dead along with the rest of the members of the Society of Brilliance, having been killed by Ptaris - the child he raised from the egg.
