Divinity: Original Sin 2: Fane

At the heart of the story, Fane was — in Divinity: Original Sin 2 — an Eternal turned undead by the passage of time. Unlike other undead, he retained his mind, intelligence, and thirst for knowledge, pledging allegiance to no one.

A scholar, Fane discovered the truth about the Veil and tried to inform the God King, but was ordered to cease his research. Hoping to overturn the situation, he approached the Seven Lords to plead his case — but upon discovering his “treachery,” they sentenced him to be purged of Source and to eternal imprisonment in a tomb. His wife and daughter were also imprisoned separately.

The Seven Gods, armed with Fane’s research, rebelled against the God King, overthrew him, and banished him and the other Eternals to the Void.

Millennia later, Fane escaped his tomb as an undead, finding a world completely changed. The era of the Eternals had been erased from history — no one had ever heard of it.

It was later revealed that Fane’s daughter, also undead, had been freed years earlier by Dallis the Hammer, a white Magister and general of Lucian’s Divine Order, who had found her tomb during the war against the Black Ring. Dallis perished, and Fane’s daughter assumed her place and appearance. She allied herself with Lucian, revealing to him the truth about the Veil, the Seven Gods, the Voidwokens, and the God King — helping him execute his plan, only revealing her identity to Fane at the very end.

Dallis herself desired to purge the world of Source — restoring the Veil, but depriving all Sourcerers, including Lucian, of their power.

Fane’s wife remained missing; he would search for her after the events of the game.

If Fane were to become Divine, he would have the possibility of choosing between bringing back the Eternals and the God King, or only the Eternals, at the cost of the current inhabitants of Rivellon’s freedom.

Fane's past before the events in Divinity: Original Sin 2 are stated in the graphic novel « Godwoken from Larian Store.
