Heads up, fellow Forgotten Realms fans!
This video contains spoilers for Artemis Entreri's story, particularly through the Neverwinter Saga. If you haven’t read those books yet, consider this your warning!

Keep in mind, this isn’t everything about Entreri—it’s an introduction to his character and a glimpse into what makes him so fascinating. To truly experience his full story, you’ll have to dive into the books, especially The Sellswords Trilogy, which explores him in depth.

Let me know your thoughts on Entreri! What’s your favorite moment of his? Do you like where he has gone as a character?

Artemis AND Jarlaxle are hand down my favorite characters in the Forgotten Realms. They are two of the most complex character I have ever encountered.

[paintwhisperer]

Artemis is such a wonderful complicated character that has so much growth through the years. Keep up these fantastic lore bits. Love em

[hanli]

Actually one of my favorite books of Salvatore is the one where Jarlaxle and Artemis are the main characters, i can’t recall the title at this moment 😅

But it is the one they travel to cadderly to get rid of the crystal shard.

[t-rat]

This fricken guy was such character. I rooted for him from the beginning.

[Blakobness]

Great video. One of my favorite parts of Artemis' journey was his time with Bregan D'aerthe and his exposure to Drow culture. I think that time put a lot of things in perspective for Artemis, showing where his rival came up from.

I love the Champions of Norrath and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games, so I was thrilled that you could unlock not only Drizzt, but Artemis as well. You kind of expect Drizzt to show up in some capacity as a cameo in Forgotten Realms IP product, but Artemis is a rare sighting.

So glad you did this one so quick! Entreri is one of my favorite characters from anything ever. I was so happy when he returned in Neverwinter. The more Barabbas dialogue I heard the more I was like "PLEASE be Entreri". His character development is some of Salvatore's best writing within the series, in my opinion!

[ThirteenCrows]

Good grief, somehow the algorithm found me again, and in turn, I found you.

Artemis is my favorite character from any book, no matter that I get older and read more books and discover new characters. There is still not a one like him. Thank you so much for this.

[craykard]

"He is drow in everything but skin." Highedt praise he got from the Drow.

[keithperry]

Entreri was a long time favorite of mine. But after the Everis Kale series I think Riven is my fav now

[WarHawkA]

Awesome video! I always was very intrigued by Entreri and his evolution as a character. I also loved the team up between him and Jarlaxle in the Sell Swords trilogy. Along with Drizzt these three characters are easily my favorites in the Forgotten Realms franchise.

[ericstewart]

Love the drizzt books and love this character

[Kensai]

Drizzt is one of my top 3 favorite Fictional characters. And you give info I forgot after years after reading the books. Keep up the amazing work

[Makiyura]

His time in the underdark was an eye opener, he wasn't seen as super special like on the surface. He was really shook by that. 😮

[Bond-gzvg]

My favorite fictional character of all time!

[boubear]

Favorite Character in the entire Forgotten Realms

[SDuke-hs]

Great job, I grew up reading every book

[cernunnos_lives]

Great job. This is what a fanbase is about brother. Very sly and slick production.

[MadwomanGaming]

This was awesome!! Jarlaxle vid next please!! He's my fav <33

[jseanperry]

One of the most intrinsically complex characters in all the realms... Entreri's evolution has been a pleasure to witness.
