Korgan Bloodaxe

Korgan Bloodaxe is a chaotic evil dwarf berserker and a potential companion in 
== Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn & Throne of Bhaal ==
=== Recruitment ===
Korgan is available to recruit from Chapter 2. This dwarf can be found in the Copper Coronet inn in Slums area, like Anomen, Nalia and Clara. He joins the party to find a book which was written by the lich Kaza.
Once removed, he’ll require  every time to return to the party (not in Throne of Bhaal).
=== Quests ===
* Help Korgan Recover the Book of Kaza (There are time limits in this quest)
=== Relationships ===
* He seems to disapprove of Aerie for being physically weak and will eventually belittle her to the point where she demands that the player character remove Korgan from the group, or she will leave. If they're still kept together in Throne of Bhaal, Korgan will continue to insult Aerie, but this time Aerie will stand up on her own and fight back against the insult, in which Korgan reveals that he's just teasing her and trying to toughen her up with verbal slights all along, thus his job is done.
* Korgan scorns Nalia for the same reason but won't actually fight her.  
* He appears to be attracted to Mazzy Fentan and will occasionally have banters where he flirts with her. 
* Keldorn has a few interesting banters with him, involving the dichotomy of good and evil and even seems to admire Korgan's power while admonishing his dark nature and bloodthirstiness 
* If Korgan, Jaheira and Nalia are in the same party, many quests will have special dialogue, with Jaheira making plenty of snarky comments at Korgan's direction.
=== Gameplay ===
His starting proficiencies depend on Gorion's Ward's level at the time of recruitment:
Weapon Proficiencies
Character Level	Proficiencies EE
8 	
*War Hammer +
*Axe +++++
 	
As a dwarf berserker with 19 Constitution, Korgan enjoys a -5 bonus to his Death, Wands and Spells saves, as well as a +5 bonus to his hit points every level, up to level 9. Since he's a dwarf, he can further boost his Constitution up to 21 with the Helmet of Dumathoin, which grants an additional +1 to his hit points up to level 9 and grants slow health regeneration at a rate of 1 hit point every 50 seconds, similar to Kagain. 
With his high Strength, he can equip any armor up to full plate and use any shields up to large shields. As such, if the player imports Fallorain's Plate from the first game, he can use it right away. 
His Enrage ability is invaluable when fighting many spell casting opponents as it grants him 60 seconds of immunity to many disabling status effects, including Imprisonment.
As the only dwarf companion in the game, Korgan is the only character who can use the Dwarven Thrower warhammer without Gorion's Ward also being a dwarf (or a thief with the Use Any Item high-level class ability). It makes a useful ranged weapon since his high Strength grants throwing weapons increased damage and his class kit prevents him from specialising in crossbows, long/shortbows or slings. Players who complete Neera's personal quests in Shadows of Amn can also give him The Brick, which is useful for fighting enemy mages. 
As Korgan is one of the only recruitable companions who can't cast spells or use scrolls, he should generally be given priority when it comes to armor and shields, especially magical ones, and is an ideal choice for spells like Regeneration to keep him alive as the party's primary tank. 
Korgan has the following items when he joins: a battle axe +1, 20 Throwing Axes, splint mail, a Helmet and a Small Shield. He starts out with 5 proficiency points in axes and one in warhammers.

	Be aware, Mazzy, I've something long, hard, and low to the ground ye're free to touch and fondle. Child, no need to glare! 'Twas me axe I was referring to... it's a joke!

== Personality ==
For the most part, Korgan comes off as a raw, uncouth, violent dwarf. However, there are certain conversations that can reveal a slightly more complex side to him (some of the later conversations he can have with Mazzy, for example). His desire to solve issues with violence largely overshadows this other side of him, however.
