Party

The party in all games of the Baldur's Gate series consists of Gorion's Ward and a variable number of companions, even if they haven't any. There are a maximum of six party members, including Gorion's Ward.
It's the single one or the group of controllable (and, due to certain status effects, temporarily uncontrollable) characters, presented by the portraits on the right side of the graphical user interface.
