Мескимен, Джим

Халид немного нервозно сообщает, что он родился и вырос в Калимшане. Он не слишком много рассказывает о своих родителях, но появляется ощущение, что его отец-купец не слишком о нем заботился, больше внимания уделяя братьям Халида. Таким образом, Халид стал обучаться военному искусству, у членов городской милиции. Он не раскрывает деталей того, как познакомился с Джахейрой, но то, что он ее обожает - очевидно. Когда его спрашивают, откуда он знал Горайона, он говорит лишь, что они были давними друзьями, и, что многие, кто когда-либо его знал, будут оплакивать его смерть песней Арфистов.

В Baldur's Gate I Халида и Джахейру можно встретить в таверне Дружеская Рука. Джахейра и Халид в Baldur's Gate I путешествуют вдвоем так, если вы выгоните одного из них из партии, то с ним уйдет и второй.

Дополнительная информация

Роман

В новеллизации "Врат Бальдура" Халиду уделено немного внимания.

In the novelization of Baldur's Gate, Khalid's personality is not explored much. As well as having cheated on his wife himself, he was jealous about her obvious attraction to Gorion's ward, Abdel Adrian. In addition, he knew Adrian was a Bhaalspawn and was ready to cynically manipulate Adrian on behalf of the Harpers, although how that was is never shown or told. Khalid and Jaheira accompanied Adrian, as well as, at various points, Montaron, Xzar and Xan, from the Friendly "Arms" Inn to Nashkel and its mines and then to Beregost in search for answers about the iron crisis. In the mines, Adrian nearly killed Khalid by accidentally stabbing him in the stomach, momentarily angering Jaheira, but he survived for the time being. Not too long after, Khalid was turned into a zombie-like being and Adrian was forced to destroy what was left of him. Jaheira felt obliged to hold a period of mourning for him even though their marriage had been unhappy and breaking up anyway and it was obvious that she and Adrian belonged together.

The games

Khalid was the son of a wealthy noble in Calimshan, who cared little about him, causing him to throw himself into the martial pursuits in spite of his otherwise mellow character. Later he became a Harper and met and fell in love with Jaheira. In spite of their very different personalities, they cared deeply for each other. Khalid was nervous and kind, with a noticeable stutter, and perhaps not the bravest warrior in the world, though quite capable of holding his own in most battles. He was also a close friend of Gorion along with his wife.

When Gorion was killed and his foster child (the player character) sought out Khalid and Jaheira at the Friendly Arm Inn, they became their travelling companions, taking them along with them in the investigations of the Iron Throne and ultimately aiding them in their conflict with Sarevok. Though the player character was now an adult, they still felt obliged to look after them after having previously been appointed by Gorion as their guardians if something should happen to himself.

Khalid is one of the party NPCs in Baldur's Gate, always paired with Jaheira; either of the two cannot normally be kept in the party without the other. He has rather average fighter's abilities, with perhaps a relatively low morale rating. Including the two in the party is of course optional, but in the second game they are assumed to have been part of it (along with Imoen, Minsc and Dynaheir).

In Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, the player character starts out in Irenicus's dungeon, with Jaheira nearby but no sign of Khalid. Khalid's body is discovered some time after on the next level of the dungeon. Imoen tells that Irenicus forced her to watch as he dissected him. The body is too badly mutilated to resurrect. Later in the game, a shade of Khalid appears briefly in a dream (along with others such as Gorion), representing the guidance the player character had in their earlier life.

In Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the Master Wraith and its minions try to upset the player character as well as any love interest character they have by taking the form of dead loved ones and accusing them of betrayal. If the player character has become romantically involved with Jaheira, a wraith will take the form of Khalid.
