Support insanity!
Of the three certifiable companions from the original BG1 (Minsc, Xzar and Tiax) two are summarily executed in BG2. It just so happens both of them could be useful for Evil parties but, alignment aside, many people took one or both for the banter ...alas, Nasty Mr Necromancer and Mr Crazy Cyricist end up pushing daisies for no good reason (especially when you could haul their asses to a church or even raise them yourself)
And now we get a tantalizing taste of another insane (psychotic megalomaniac .. but no name calling ^_^) character.
If the dev tweets are to be believed, he may/might/will be making a comeback in BG2EE... but not necessarily as a companion. Now since we have had him as both an antagonist and a companion, just knowing he will be making an appearance doesn't reassure me. Especially as his role as an antagonist took precedence in BGEE. :) ... and, after all, Tiax made an appearance and then poofed out of existence after Irenicus threw a temper tantrum. Xzar took one to the gut to satisfy Jaheira's romance triggers... I'd like
[spoiler] Baeloth [/spoiler] to provide a more permanent sort of entertainment.
As a sorcerer he complements many a party, as an Evil character he helps fill the roster and his quips are hilarious.
