He's one of those sympathetic villains, though, with a tragic past, and Larian's creative director Swen Vincke said they cast Simmons because they wanted a character actor who could give a nuanced performance. The RPG quest in BG3 is to get rid of the little worm in your head that will, over time, turn you into a tentacle-faced mind flayer, and it appears from the new trailer that Ketheric could help you with that.
