Jondrotir Forehelm is a
dwarven man that lives in
Baldur's Gate and a friend of
Alesine Zadava.
History
Jondrotir was born in Baldur's Gate's
Lower City and orphaned at a young age. To survive, he took up odd jobs here and there, always making a concentrated effort to make sure his work was above board.
In the early 1490s, Jondrotir met
Nalansmyrt Thistlecrag, a young
gnome that had recently left the
cult of Dispater his family had raised him in, through various odd jobs the two worked together. Through Nalansmyrt, Jondrotir also met
Vianola Phidi, a
human lover of knowledge, and the three of them became fast friends. A few years later, Nalansmyrt reconnected with a
half-elf childhood friend of his, Alesine Iliric, who had left the same cult he was a part of, and she was folded into the group.
Alesine and Nalansmyrt's history with the cult of Dispater inspired the group to begin digging into the corruption of Baldur's Gate, attempting to uncover what they could and leak it to the authorities. The friends has some successes for a time and treated their work a bit like a game, until a too close encounter with the dark underworld of Baldur's Gate convinced them to stop.
However, following the
Damnation of Elturel in 1497 and the political turmoil caused by Grand Duke
Ulder Ravengard's presumed death, Alesine, now working as an adventurer with the
Lost Star Detectives, gathered Jondrotir and the others back together to help her look into and stop the Baldurian
cults of Zariel and the
Dead Three.
Though Alesine and the other Detectives left Baldur's Gate in Eleasis of that year, Vianola and Jondrotir continued to help Nalansmyrt, who had a fire lit under him to keep helping people in need, with information gathering.
After
Elturel's salvation in early 1498, Alesine returned to Baldur's Gate to see her friends and bid them goodbye. As a result of her adventures, Alesine had been transformed from a mortal to a
solar, and she knew she couldn't remain in Baldur's Gate with that amount of power. Though sad to see her go, Jondrotir and the others wished her well.
