Baldur’s Gate III introduces Lord Enver Gortash voiced by Jason Isaacs

Baldur's Gate III

Larian Studios has shared a new trailer for Baldur’s Gate III introducing Lord Enver Gortash, voiced by none other than Jason Isaacs.

Here’s a rundown on the new character, plus his reveal trailer:

After the recent disappearance of Duke Ravengard, the city of Baldur’s Gate has turned to Lord Enver Gortash, the up-and-coming designer of the Steel Watchers – magical clockwork warriors created to defend the city. As the newly minted protector of Baldur’s Gate, Gortash stands as one of the most powerful figures within its walls.

As players arrive to the titular city of Baldur’s Gate, they’ll find themselves in the middle of a perilous power struggle, with many factions and powers vying for political control of this complex organism of a city. Isaacs’ acting chops help bring an additional layer of depth to the characters players will meet in Baldur’s Gate – a place where it’s already difficult to distinguish friend from foe – as a major antagonist to be contended with as you venture into the morally gray alleys and docklands of the game’s sprawling city.

“It was a thrill to join the Baldur’s Gate universe, but I fear that the magnificent Lord Enver Gortash is being mischaracterized as a villain,” said Jason Issacs. “In a brutal world of betrayals and butchery, he’s learned to lie better and backstab first. The joy in voicing him – apart from the obvious pleasure in getting to look so glorious – was that the creative team and I got to play loose enough to find ways that he could enjoy the ride and make the players hate him more!”

Isaacs has brought decades of experience in acting the villain into the recording booth, tweaking lines between takes and adding additional depth and flavor to the character of Gortash.

Baldur’s Gate III is hitting full release on August 31st for PC alongside a PS5 port, with an Xbox Series X|S port coming later. The game has been available as an early access title for Windows PC (via Steam and GOG). You can read our hands-on preview of the game here.
