Ghorak is a cursed man who can be found in his house in the southeast section of south Baldur's Gate. He was cursed with a rotting disease for killing his brother, Kereph. Now Ghorak looks and moves like a zombie.

The party might hear about him and his brother in the streets of Baldur's Gate:
Commoner: "Alas, the rot's got poor Ghorak. I doubt he'll be with us much longer."

1 (Party): "Who's Ghorak? I don't recognize the name."
1a Commoner: "He was a fixture in this city, sharp of wit and fair of face... Indeed I loved him once, we all did! Ghorak and his brother Kereph. We were like giggling girls scattering ourselves at their feet and they treated each of us with such respect and dignity. Lady Luck loved them too, it seems, but she is a fickle and cruel mistress. Kereph is long dead, you see, and Ghorak bears the plague. Aye, like a spurned lover, Tymora turns her loves away that she may draw them closer in the end."
2 (Party): "The rot? Why, that's horrible..."
2a Commoner: "Aye, it is a horror indeed and e'en more so in one who once shone so brighhtly. He was one of Tymora's own, and, alongside his brother Kereph, the kindest soul. But then ill befell him... it is not like Lady Luck to abandon and persecute her faithful so."

When spoken to, Ghorak will warn you away, shouting that he is diseased.

For your own health and that of your children, come no closer. I was cursed with this fell disease as punishment for my wickedness... Diseased! Diseased! Stand well back...


If you offer to cure him, it will start his quest. He tells you that potions and spells are useless, but then asks you to find the skull of his brother and take it to the The Lady's Hall if you want to help him.

No, your potions and magics are of little use. The only way to cure this sickness is to right the wrongs of the past. Behind a painting at the Three Old Kegs, you will find the skull of my brother, Kereph. Take it to Agnasia in The Lady's Hall. She will know what to do with it.

Depending on what you say to him, you might miss the quest.

  • 1: Let us cure you of your affliction.

This starts the quest.

  • 2: I'm sorry, but there is little that we can do to help you.

Ghorak will exit the house and never return.
