So...
I actually created most of the Notable Members of the Cult of Bhaal in Nemo's timeline.
Beware, a lot of screens and info under the cut.
Let's start with the elders, aka 2 only lived till the events of the game people who passed the rites and became unholy assassins before Nemo became the leader. Everyone else who's still in the cult came after.
Gregor.
Human, he/him, warrior. Tired as shit. Respects Sarevok but doesn't like Orin. Nemo is okay, he saw that kid grow into a fine young leader he is now. Has a daughter he keeps as far as possible from the cult.
Takes Nemo's side, dies in the confrontation with Orin by Orin's hand.
Braska.
Half-orc, she/her, monk. Was in love with Helena but never told her. Loves Orin as her own daughter but, again, never let her know. Takes Orin's side even though Orin has visibly changed, is killed by Gregor's blade.
Then come the kiddos Nemo picked up on different occasions.
Clotilda.
Wooden elf, she/her, assassin. Nemo's protégé and second in command. Tattoo on her face is a gift from Nemo for her unholy assassin's initiation.
The first one Nemo ever brought to the temple, as a result has an incurable Older Daughter syndrome. Control freak. The spokesperson for relationships with other organizations (mainly Ninefingers' guild.)
Hated Orin's rule because of how everything was disorganized and also how Orin did everything wrong.
Was demoted to a mere bodyguard by Orin, but jokes on her, this is how Clotilda met the love of her life Polandulus. They haven't told anyone about their love yet, and Polandulus is baneite, but surely everything will work out. Lord Nemo is very close with Lord Gortash, after all, he'll understand.
Is overly protective of Vivias, the tiefling sorcerer, because he was brought the second and she immediately adopted him as her brother. They wear the matching earrings sets.
Takes Nemo's side, survives.
Vivias.
Mephistopheles' tiefling, wild sorcerer, he/him. Burned half of his face when he was a child (it also almost resulted in him being murdered by an angry crowd, but Nemo interfered and murdered the said crowd instead.)
The baby of the murder family but also the most unpredictable (due to his magic) one. Has an ugly crush on Lerroe, but don't tell them!
Takes Nemo's side, murders half of Orin's cultists in one extremely dangerous and uncontrollable blast (burns both of his hands in the process)
Lerroe.
Seldarine drow, they/them. Nobleborn. Warlock with fiend patron because the killings of their entire family by said fiends taught them what they're better than their parents. Struck a pact with one of the fiends who killed their family and this is how they survived. Nemo picked them up later.
Is oblivious to Vivias' crush despite their co-cultists taking bets on them getting together. Takes Nemo's side because just who Orin thinks she is?
If you think they look like dunmer from TES, it's because they do.
Morna.
Halfling, barbarian, she/they. One of the urchin children Nemo first fed humanoid flesh to and then kidnapped/took in. No-nonsence, doesn't care about Bhaal that much, but cares about the place where they found shelter and home. Defends her home and her leader against Orin. Lives.
Writt.
Half-drow, ranger. They/them. Urchin from the streets Nemo took in. Avid cannibal due to Nemo's manipulations. Takes neutral position and waits till the winner is declared.
Franceska (Fran).
Asmodeus tiefling, warrior, she/her. The last of Nemo's urchins. Still uneasy with the cannibal thing, but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. Gregor's apprentice. Takes Gregor's (meaning Nemo's) side, barely survives.
Csenya and Caterina.
Humans, she/her and she/her. The twin daughters of the cultist of Tiamat Wyll killed when he defended Baldurs Gate seven years ago. Don't tell them Wyll did that.
The last ones Nemo brought to the temple.
Csenya (left) is a bard. Caterina (right) is a mystic trickster.
Take different sides in the fight with Orin, resulting in Caterina killing her sister and then, after realizing what she has done, killing herself.
For some reason they're the only ones Withers agrees to revive. The first thing Csenya does after the revival is stabbing her sister in the eye.
Bonus: the adult who wanted to join after Nemo and Sceleritas dealt with the necromancer who left behind himself poisonous bodies.
Rico.
Dwarf, he/him, necromancer because what doesn't kill you makes you want to learn it. Who knows what fucked up experiments the necromancer performed on him? He won't tell.
Takes the neutral position in the fight with Orin.
