Baeloth Barrityl

Baeloth Barrityl, the Entertainer, is a chaotic evil male drow.
As a sorcerer, he runs The Black Pits.
In the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Siege of Dragonspear, he can be chosen by Gorion's Ward as a sorcerer companion.
Baeloth has another, cameo appearance in The Black Pits II: Gladiators of Thay.
==Background==
Baeloth runs The Black Pits, a death battle arena in the Underdark. He considers it "the best show" and himself to be "one of the top five spellcasters in all the realms." In the final battle there, which takes place briefly before the events of Baldur's Gate, but when defeated in the end, he will be tricked by his "servant", the djinni Najim, and cast onto the Sword Coast.

==Baldur's Gate==
===Recruitment===
Baeloth is available to be recruited for the party from Chapter One on, though only if Gorion's Ward exceeds 10,000 XP. He then will appear first in a cutscene at the southern side of Larswood just north of the ruined tower where gibberlings usually spawn.BAINVI.bcs – Bainvi is a helper creature in the area: only there to detect the player, their level, and then start a cutscene if the condition is met. Note: If the cutscene doesn't trigger, try clearing the gibberlings. A lengthy, one-sided conversation with his treacherous djinni servant Najim starts before he notices the protagonist nearby. It takes a great deal of dialogue (with an occasional interjection from Neera, Viconia, Edwin or Tiax on his penchant for alliteration, if in the party) to recruit Baeloth. He will always be at least level 6 when recruited. (40,000 XP)
Accepting Baeloth into the party causes a reputation loss of 2 which is, however, restored should he be dismissed. In this case, he will travel to the Friendly Arm Inn and await the party outside the walls on the south-eastern portion of the map.
===Quests===
Baeloth is not specifically involved in quests.
===Gameplay===
As a drow, Baeloth has a natural magic resistance of 50%. His first two levelups after joining grant the choice of one level 3 and one level 4 spell – choose wisely, some useful spells are either gained only randomly or from very limited sources – e.g. Stoneskin – while others won't be available until Chapter Five from Sorcerous Sundries.
====Items====
Baeloth joins with a Robe of the Evil Archmagi, a Quarterstaff +1, 10 Darts of Acid +1, 2 Speedily Stolen Slaves' Salve and Barrityl's Burden, a "cursed" ring. The previous owners of these items were not properly compensated by Mr. Barrityl as they are marked as stolen and should you want to sell them, will have to look for a fence.
If you choose to kill rather than to recruit him, this ring isn't obtained – apparently, the curse persists through death –, but you do get .
==Siege of Dragonspear==
===Recruitment===
Baeloth is available to be recruited for the party from Chapter Eight on: you can find him among the crowds gathered in his new "Black Pits" in the north of the Coast Way Crossing. Watch his show, then offer him a place in the party.
If Baeloth, however, was killed during the Baldur's Gate campaign and the savegame is imported into Siege of Dragonspear, it is not possible to recruit him: when you first arrive at his spawn location, he will cast a Dimension Door and disappear from the game.

====Items====
==The Black Pits==
===Involvement===
In the final battle in The Black Pits, he proves to be very powerful, able to use spells such as Chain Lightning, Delayed Blast Fireball, and Power Word, Stun. Once defeated, he's then tricked by his "servant", the djinni Najim, and cast onto the Sword Coast.
===Gameplay===
====Mage Book====
Many more than only what he has memorized can be found in his Mage Book, spells up to level seven which reflects his class level of fifteen.
==Trivia==
*Baeloth is one of the three companions who are voiced by Mark Meer. The other two are Rasaad and Voghiln.
*Incidentally, his character portrait is also based on Mark Meer. Mark even dressed up as Baeloth during the Edmonton Expo 2015 where he moderated the cosplay competition.TweetTweet
