We had to cut a bunch of dialogue due to word count restrictions, so I can understand how some of Sarevok's story can come across as a bit...unexplained. Personally I'm OK with that as I prefer to leave the reader to connect the pieces however it suits them best, but not everyone's keen with that. But hey, what can you do? icon_smile.gif

A few things I'll answer from earlier up in the thread:

* Sarevok is older that the PC. This is implied several times, and really must be the case since it says that Sarevok fled the temple on his own. I imagine he was a small child of 5 or 6.

(This does, of course, ignore the whole timeline thing that the Time of Troubles took place over a single year (and about 12 years before gametime)...but we admit freely that the timeline was a mistake and we now ignore it completely. Other stuff is not a mistake, though...not by intent, anyway.)

* Sarevok did meet a priest of Bhaal who recognized him, and killed him. This took place much later when Sarevok had already grown up. There are priests of Bhaal long after Bhaal is killed (former ones mostly, though).

* Sarevok did not know that Gorion could have saved him instead of the PC. The Sarevok image you see is not truly Sarevok (he could, in fact, be in your party). The image you see is supposed to represent that of destiny...Sarevok and the PC could have had each others' lives very easily. The Sarevok image is supposed to remind the PC of that...so it represents Sarevok but *isn't* Sarevok, if that makes sense. If Sarevok felt any kind of resentment towards the PC, it's probably because this Bhaalspawn had had what he considered to be an incredibly easy existence.

* It isn't said when Sarevok is adopted. Probably when he was still quite young. He did live on the streets as an urchin for a while, though.

Hope that answers a few questions. Feel free to fire any more my way.
