==Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition==
===Recruitment===
Dorn is available to recruit in Chapter One. You first meet him on the ground floor of the The Friendly Arm where he scolds you for bothering him. You must later trigger his side quest to invite him to join at the cost of losing 2 reputation points, which is regained when he leaves the party. He will return to the Friendly Arm when he is removed from the party. He will refuse to rejoin the party if your reputation is above 18.
===Quests===
*Dorn Il-Khan (quest)
===Relationships===
*Major conflicts with Ajantis Ilvastarr
*Yeslick will give the "Him or Me" ultimatum if Dorn is in the party.
*Tiax will try to "steal" Dorn's powers, with dubious success. This "conflict" will not lead to a fight between them, however.
===Gameplay===
A half-orc blackguard is a race/class combination off-limits to the player character generation.
His strength of 19 points means that he can serve as a good melee fighter and the best pack mule. By attacking doors/locks he can open them as effectively as a thief with an Open Locks skill of 50.
His charisma of 16 makes him a decent "face" character for an evil party, granting you a good reaction adjustment and a minor discount on shop prices.
As a blackguard, his poison weapon ability is immensely helpful in battles with enemy mages, unfortunately this ability has been severely nerfed by later patches in EE, restricting the gameplay strategies and usefulness of both blackguards and assassins, who are the exclusive poison weapon ability users in original games.
Dorn’s passive fear immunity makes him the only companion in game able to quaff Durlag's Goblet without the aid from Kiel's Helmet. Give the helmet to somebody else and you immediately have two party members who fully healed in seconds, you may also import this combo to SoD to extend its uses
His starting equipment is Splint Mail and a two-handed sword +1, Rancor, which gives him a +1 THAC0 bonus or +2 THAC0 bonus if he kills someone wielding the weapon in 24 hours. His proficiency points are two in each of Two-Handed Swords and the Two-Handed Weapon Style.
Restrictions for alignment can be bypassed using the Helmet of Opposite Alignment to use his excellent stats in a Good party. It also allows you to romance him, if you like bad boys.

	Hrmm. It's about time, <RACE>. Bring me another flagon of ale.
	Then why do you bother me? Begone.
	Listen carefully, <RACE>. If you continue to pester me, I will crush your neck with my bare hands. Go. Now.
	SENJAK! DOROTEA! I swore I would crush the life out of you someday. Today is that day!
	"Just following orders" is a coward's excuse, Dorotea. And I haven't forgotten what you said when I refused your advances.
	You are both mewling cowards, turning on each other as easily as you turned on me. Half your men are already dead. You'll join them soon.
	My name is Dorn Il-Khan, and I was settling an old score. I've been hunting those two for almost a year now. That's two down and two to go.
	Very wise, <CHARNAME>. We shall cut a bloody swath across the Sword Coast!
	I can hardly believe it. You, the spawn of Bhaal himself! Ur-Gothoz was wise to tie my fate to yours. Think of the rivers of blood we could spill across the realms!
	You should embrace this path. What a gift, to have the blood of a dark god coursing through your veins! Do you not see the possibilities? We could silence all who oppose us! No one would dare call my lineage into question!
	The source of your divine essence doesn't matter, don't you see? Bhaal is DEAD! I say that the blood of a god is the blood of a god. It matters not from whence it came.
	Yes! I can see it now. A great fate awaits you. Do not forget those who have bled for you when you finally ascend.
==Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear==
===Recruitment===
Dorn is available to recruit in Chapter Nine, he's held captive by Caelar's crusaders and you'll find him inside a prison cell in the crusader camp at Boareskyr Bridge. Thankfully, releasing him won't draw hostage attentions from the crusaders, but any items you placed in his inventory prior to his departure in Chapter 7 (SoD) are in a box just above the cage and his level is reset to default.
===Relationships===
*Will romance protagonists of any race or gender

	Crusade, Flaming Fist, Shadow Thieves, Harpers, Zhentarim... I care not who is in service to what. Anyone fool enough to stand against me and mine will taste my steel.
	To lead, one must instill fear in one's followers. They must know insubordination will cost them more than any enemy ever could.
==Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition==
===Recruitment===
Dorn is available to recruit in Chapter 2. Travel to the southern part of Temple District, talk to him to let him join, recruiting him will initiate a number of reputation-damaging but rewarding quests. If dismissed at this stage, he will return to his original spot (Temple District).
===Quests===
*Dorn's bloody path
===Relationships===
*Will romance PCs of any race or gender
*Anomen and Keldorn will both come to blows with Dorn due to the nature of his joining quest. However, starting Dorn's second companion quest will allow him to be in a party with either of them.
*Will have banters with Rasaad, telling him that Ur-Gothoz sees potential within him and offering him power. Rasaad turns him down.
*Has banters with Neera, telling her that the use of wild magic despite its dangers shows that she has the same destructive streak and lust for power as he does.
===Gameplay===
At the culminating point of his companion quest, you acquire the Abyssal Blade, a blackguard-only +3 two-handed sword with additional effects depending on how you chose to complete his quest chain. The effects carry over into Throne of Bhaal. Siding with Ur-Gothoz will also earn him the powerful helmet The Visage. If you decide to kill both Ur-Gothoz and Azothet, the Abyssal Blade will be imbued with the souls of both patrons (+5 vs. good aligned, +5 vs demons and +5 vs devils) but Dorn will become a fallen blackguard and lose all his powers, turning him into a pure fighter of the same level. In addition, you will lose his final quest in Throne of Bhaal. If you leave at least one of them alive, be it Ur-Gothoz or Azothet, you unlock his final quest in the godly plane of Lunia. In Watcher's Keep, the player can get him the blackguard-only sword Ir'revrykal, effectively an evil version of Carsomyr. As the only party member with a natural 19 Strength, he is also the only character who can use the Strong Arm bow without a strength-enhancing item.
Defensively speaking, his 14 Constitution and 16 Dexterity put him at a disadvantage as a tank, but these can be compensated for with the Girdle of Fortitude, which sets his Constitution to 18 for eight hours. Dorn is the only companion other than Minsc and Valygar that can use Defender of Easthaven, Armor of Faith, and Hardiness, making him an excellent physical damage tank. Draw Upon Holy Might allows him to reach 25 Strength at level 26 without the use of magical equipment, which can be saved for other party members, along with 22 Dexterity and 20 Constitution.
At protagonist level 9, he starts with proficiencies in Two-Handed Sword, Crossbow, and Two-Handed Weapon Style. His starting equipment is Plate Mail, a Helmet, and Rancor (a +1 or +2 two-handed sword). As a level 8 Blackguard, he has the innate abilities Resist Fear and Negative Plane Protection.
===Biography===
===Bugs===
As of BG2EE 2.6, Dorn's first talk with the PC is supposed to be one of three, depending on your reputation and whether you known him from the events in BG. However, his script is always setting the variable that you knew him, so you always get one of the three banters and never see the other two options. This is identified for correction in the pending Enhanced Edition Fix Pack (EEFP). Ref: (dorn.bcs)
