== Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn ==
Some time after the defeat of Sarevok Quayle began travelling with a circus, where he met Aerie. Taking the young avariel under his wing, he became her guardian and tutor, helping her recover from the loss of her wings. In turn Aerie lovingly refers to him as "uncle Quayle".
He can be found in the circus tent in Waukeen's Promenade being transformed into Mustard Jelly by Kalah. He regains his true physical form once the party finishes dealing with Kalah.
