Sanik

{[stub}} Sanik is a free trader and merchant on the island of Brynnlaw during the events of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and its Enhanced Edition. He is encountered during Chapter 4, but only if the player took the Saemon Havarian route to access the quest Getting Into the Asylum.

Prior to the arrival of Gorion's Ward, Sanik - who had made his money by trading supplies and spellcasting components to the Cowled Wizards operating Spellhold - had fallen in love with Claire, a courtesan employed by Lady Galvena. He had plans to smuggle her away from Brynnlaw to marry her, and his dealings with Gorion's Ward were intended to be his last job before doing that.

Unfortunately, when the pair meet, Galvena has Sanik assassinated for the affront of trying to steal away with one of her prostitutes. This opens up the Rescuing Claire sub-quest.
