Fane

An immortal survivor seeking the truth behind his forgotten kin after eons in captivity.

Fane is the last surviving member of an immortal species, appearing as a male undead figure who spent aeons imprisoned. He was a noble from Rivellon before his long confinement. Unlike typical mindless undead, Fane retains full intelligence and memory, driven by a singular goal: to discover what happened to the rest of his kind. As one of six pre-made characters available at the start of Divinity: Original Sin II (2017), he can be recruited as a fully playable companion or played as the main protagonist.

Lore & Background

Fane belongs to an ancient, long-forgotten species of immortals who once inhabited Rivellon. He is described as the last member of this group, having spent aeons imprisoned before his release. His backstory involves a deep mystery regarding the fate of his people; he seeks answers about what became of them after their disappearance. While other playable races include Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Lizards (both living and undead), Fane represents a unique lineage tied to the original inhabitants of Rivellon. His existence is marked by isolation and a quest for historical truth, distinguishing him from companions like Beast or Sebille who have more immediate personal vendettas.
