I actually fully explored Gorbengolt's backstory across countless psychadelic quests. I participated in the original Spellguard experiments that mutated him, contained him, and deployed him against extremely unlucky citizens. I encountered "Chequon" and its mystical "Red Tide" which could fill a supplicant with unfathomable rage. Chequon, of course, being a villain from Gorbengolt's prequel story before coming to Sanctuary. But it would only be toward the end of Gorbengolt's long journey that we would finally rescue his son from the villainous clutches of Chequon. However, the Spellguard's substance implants had mutated him so severely at that point that he was unable to hold the boy in his hands. He wept as we brought the child to the orphanage controlled by the very wizards who ruined his life. And then he killed himself.
