| abstract | - Solaufein is a minor non-player character found in the computer game Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, the second installment of the Baldur's Gate series. He is a drow living in Ust'Natha, a city in the Underdark of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Solaufein is a male drow assigned to assist the player character in their tasks in Ust'Natha. The sardonic and sour Solaufein clearly doesn't like the player character, and almost constantly insults the player character when the player character talk to him. However, he turns out to be one of the rare worshippers of the good drow goddess Eilistraee, which is in opposition to the evil Lolth-worshipping ruling class of Ust'Natha. At the end of the Underdark chapter, he helps the player character stop a Drow plot that will give the drow assistance from a powerful demon in their war against the surface elves. He seems to be inspired by another drow elf, Zaknafein, from The Dark Elf book series. Their names resemble each others, and both are good-aligned drow fighter males. Also, they have quite resembling positions, Zaknafein being the weapons master of a drow house, and Solaufein having a quite similar position.
