Biography

When asked about his past, QUAYLE talks for a good hour about his worship of Baravar Cloakshadow, how he is well on his way to mastering sorcery, and just generally how incredibly smart he is compared to everyone else in the party.
He was apparently encouraged to strike out on his own as soon as he came of age because, as he claims, he was simply too gifted to remain in that stifling environment. You get the feeling, however, that no one was terribly broken up over his leaving.
He says that he apprenticed in the arts of magic and the worship of Baravar under a gnome named Gifos, though it was not long before this teacher also sent him on his way. Since then, Quayle has wandered the Sword Coast looking for people who were willing to accept his "wisdom and instruction." It has likely been a long walk.

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Some time after the defeat of Sarevok Quayle began travelling with a circus, where he met Aerie. Taking the young avariel under his wing, he became her guardian and tutor, helping her recover from the loss of her wings. In turn Aerie lovingly refers to him as "uncle Quayle".

He can be found in the circus tent in Waukeen's Promenade being transformed into Mustard Jelly by Kalah. He regains his true physical form once the party finishes dealing with Kalah.
