Marl

Marl is a grumpy drunk found in Feldepost's Inn, along with his friend Dunkin.
He doesn't like adventurers because he blames them for his son's death. His son, Kennair Nethalin, aspired to be an adventurer but died doing so.
You can slay him without losing any Reputation, or calm him down for a significant experience reward, but with no way to kill him without losing the reputation. You can also pickpocket the Andar Gem he carries.

==Notes==
*In original Baldur's Gate, you could talk him down and then kill him anyway at no penalty, for the 650 combat XP. In various fixpacks and the Enhanced Edition, this trick no longer works, though you can still kill him after talking him down.
