Tiax, Baldur's Gate 1 BG1 Companion


Tiax Baldur's Gate 1



Tiax Location


Tiax is a Baldur's Gate companion in BioWare's cRPG of 1998, Baldur's Gate 1. Tiax is found standing outside the Flaming Fist compound located in the city of Baldur's Gate (AR 1100). 

Tiax is one of the funniest characters in Baldur's Gate.

Tiax's Ghast


Tiax can summon a Ghast (undead creature) that inflicts on-hit save vs. Death paralysis. Needless to say, it is useful.

Thou would'st presume to speak to Tiax the great?  Thy bravery is oddly tempered with foolishness.  Still, Cyric has decreed that I seek out the services of one such as thyself.  Tiax himself...myself will aid in your quest.  In return, when the time is right, your might will forge the way for my ascension to power.  Do you accept this honor?

Glorious Cyric has foretold of our meeting when thou wouldst join with me.  'Tis thy duty...nay, DESTINY  to stand by Tiax as the world kneels before him!....er...us.  To this end I would travel with thee and do thy bidding.  Later, however, your power shall add to mine and great Tiax will ascend to the highest office in the land.  What say you?  Yea or nay to the grand scheme?

Tiax Stats


You are unworthy to sit at the feet of great Tiax! I shall find another for that exalted spot!

Tiax Biography


When asked about his past TIAX ignores you entirely, preferring instead to loudly proclaim what is in store for his future. He obviously worships Cyric, but also seems to share a touch of his madness. Tiax unquestioningly believes that he is destined to rule the world, and his fervor makes him blind to the ridiculous nature of the goal. He seems harmless enough for now.

Gnome versus Gnome: Tiax and Quayle are both insufferable, but I'd say Quayle takes the cake.


Quayle is just so annoying and insipid:


And so Tiax snaps:


Thus, the two diminutives with the biggest egos ever seen on the Infinity Engine, go medieval on each other. It's very funny to watch this after hearing their carry-on for so long.

In BG2, Tiax is found imprisoned in Spellhold.

Mindless fools!  Breathe deep and fill your ill-fated lungs with the salty airs of your sorry destiny!
  • Remove (discontent): Yes, yes, the all-seeing Tiax thinks that his leaving would be best. He must finalize his stratagems and consult in secret with Cyric. You shall, of course, meet the Great Tiax again, at which point I will make my grand ascension and appoint you to your rightful place as whipper of the slaves and faithless.
