I love the thought of a pre-tadpole Durge X Gortash relationship dynamic where, instead of JUST being incredibly toxic, Gortash actually made them a (marginally) better person.
I am just obsessed with the idea of Faerun’s antichrist being swayed not to begin a fucking APOCALYPSE out of sheer admiration for a certain tyrant.
And I love that tyrant becoming worse when he realizes that the Scion of Bhaal himself will kill for him. Anyone he wants. He has but to say the word.
That would go to Gortash’s head SO fast, I can feel it.
Especially when he realized that, more than killing, he could convince Durge NOT to kill.
TELL ME that man would not get a big ego when he told the SCION OF BHAAL “Don’t kill this person, the plan works best with them alive” AND THE DARK URGE STAYS THEIR HAND.
He would KNOW that their oath not to harm him is in direct opposition to Bhaal’s plan.
At the end of the day, Gortash is worse for having known Durge because of the INTENSE ego boost of having Bhaal’s Scion love him.
And at the end of that same day, The Dark Urge, Bhaal’s Chosen World Ender, chose Gortash over the apocalypse.
Which makes it INCREDIBLY juice if, after the Death of Gortash, Durge decides to take the world for Bhaal after all.

I'm making the posts on this topic even worse but here me out, when Hannibal says "I can help good Will see his face" he is basically implying that he has a hunch that Will will be the one to see him. To see his real self behind the suit. And more than that, Will would be the one to see that he is not the monster. He looks so driven to have someone in his life who wouldn't see his true face as a monster's face.

"I seem to have trusted you once, and it ruined me."
The Dark Urge having some flicker of a memory, begging the one person who mourned them to take their loss and the horror they're feeling at the removal of everything they once were seriously.
And Gortash is just so elated that they're back that he's having a manic episode and can't.
