Could The Dark Urge be a cleric of Lolth
Could Dark Urge be a priest of Lolth? After all, Urge was born for Bhaal and he cannot be a cleric of Lolth, but the game allows you to do this

The Dark Urge is a serial killer.

Serial killers stalk their prey and ritualistically murder them - ideally without being caught.

They ward off suspicion by appearing as inconspicuous as possible. Nobody would ever assume that a Cleric of Lolth is secretly a Bhaalist, now would they?

On one hand possibly as Lolth is the goddess of chaos and enjoys murder etc...

On the other I doubt it because she really doesn't like the other gods and they really don't like her (the whole betraying people kinda makes you not liked on either good or evil sides of the fence)

Dark Urge he was born as an assassin and servant of Bhaal. Just like Orin, Orin worships Baal, the god of murder. If he becomes the chosen one of Bhaal, then he will get the form of a beast, but how can he become the chosen one of Bhaal if he worships Lolth, it is like worshiping two masters. And Lolth is the Goddess of Firewood, the Goddess of Spiders.

You can choose any race/class combination for dark urge, there are no limits.

As much as it might annoy Bhaal at times Durge is a free willed being with a soul. They can choose to worship whoever they want.

Yes. The Dark Urge starts as an amnesiac, they can be anything and it works.

There is cut scenes for whatever class you play has urge if you rest right after crashing before doing a single other thing that will explain why any class works, just ponder your craft during that scene

Clerics and paladins are interesting so are bards

The Butler comments on how D'Urge sometimes goes wayward against what "Father" wants.

Fel doesn't go into further detail about what these wayward acts are, though.

Tou are assuming she answers the urges calls to havens, like I said if you do an urge run need the cut scene right after the crash

Remember the urge is not your normal bhaal spawn

I suppose D'urge is too much like Father, unlike the Bloodkin.

It's anyone's guess what else D'Urge was up to prior to the betrayal. Maybe, D'Urge was courting other deities who weren't once mortal (depending on the customization).

It's really up to the player to fill in the blanks that are left.

Why that first rest on the beach is critical and why casting heal on him later is interesting

TDU is one guy, but if you played BG1 & 2, you know that the children of bhaal are able to do and be anything, from a paladin of tyr to a cleric of lloth. Much like tieflings and red dragonborn or other player characters with a weird parentage, TDU may be a psychopath but this is only a small part from his father --- so many of the bhaalspawn are good guys...
