Lord Foreshadow is an NPC that foreshadows the events of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn if option 3 is chosen, or Neverwinter Nights if option 1 or 2 is chosen – another BioWare project, unrelated to Baldur's Gate but also set in the Forgotten Realms. Neverwinter Nights was released in 2002, the year after the Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal expansion. Killing him results in reputation loss. He talks to you upon seeing and disappears after the dialogue, no matter which option is chosen.
