@Wertwert55, sorry this is a late reply, had to dig it out of storage.

From the Murder in Baldur's Gate Campaign Guide, page 33, under "Bhallspawn and the Iron Throne":

"Nearly a century ago, it seemed the plan of the Lord of Murder might come to fruition in Baldur's Gate. At the time, the Iron Throne, a merchants' consortium, contrived to cause an iron shortage throughout the area in order to enrich its members. Sarevok, the adopted son of an Iron Throne leader and one of the Bhaalspawn, took over the organization and sought to assassinate the dukes. His ultimate aim was to provoke a war with Amn and use the bloodshed to ascend to his true father's throne.

The Bhaalspawn Abdel Adrian and his handful of comrades averted the war and brought Sarevok's villainy to an end. After many more years of adventuring and a period of reflection, Adrian retired to Baldur's Gate and served as both the Flaming Fist's marshal and a duke, ultimately becoming the city's most beloved citizen."

So, sorry, none of Abdel's storyline contradicts the games. And, in fact, according to Wizards of the Coast's official lore, he IS the hero from the Baldur's Gate video games. Wizards owns all of the Forgotten Realms properties now, so that IS CANON. Period.
