Suspecting Ulgrim of being more than a mere mortal, Inquisitor Creed refuses to let him go and believes he may still be alive after being transported to the Void. Even Captain Somer, despite her previous attitude towards the former First Blade, laments his loss. The player character is forced to finish the job alone.Īfter the Loghorrean is defeated, Inquisitor Creed learns of Ulgrim's loss to the Void.

The Taken finds Ulgrim at Deadman's Gulch, where the "cook" is no longer unarmed and is now protecting some stranded refugees he has found. When the Taken discovers Elsa in the Barren Highlands, Ulgrim leaves Devil's Crossing for Homestead. After this he will set up inside the prison as a cook, and will serve soup and tell stories, which appear to euphemistically describe his exploits as the First Blade.
