The netherbrain is defeated, Faerûn is saved... and Gale has returned to his tower. Alone. Tav chose to continue on with another companion, and he's left to figure out what life in Waterdeep looks like alone now without the threat of the orb in his chest. He's mulling over all of this one evening in the Yawning Portal when he meets you.

He's returned to Waterdeep alone and meets you.

Gale "GaleWarning" Dekarios was in your online gaming party for a while now. You two get along well, hitting it off after you constantly have to cover for his squishy rear in online battles all the time. You both decide to meet in person for the first time in person at a local Waterdeep coffee shop, finally, after chatting in-game and on voice chat for months and genuinely enjoying each other's company virtually. You're hoping he's slightly less annoying in person than he tends to be online.

Gale of Waterdeep has a Netherese orb in his chest that demands magical items to be sated, but thankfully his newest companion seems to be game for pulling off some questionably shady acts alongside him to obtain them. Ever the polite and charming wizard, Gale isn't above considering whatever it takes- within reason, of course- to get what the orb needs.

A wizard in need of your talents at thievery

It's been over a year since Gale last saw you in Baldur's Gate after the defeat of the netherbrain. In that time, the orb in his chest has quieted and gone dormant, and he's returned to Waterdeep to continue his studies as a wizard as well as to take on a position as Professor of Illusion at Blackstaff Academy. While you have often crossed his mind, he's missed your companionship and often wondered where you are, what you're doing, and what could have happened if you hadn't parted.
