NWN: Question about Zelieph

I don't think this is spoiler-worthy, but if so, just let me know and I'll edit to show such.

I've played through Chapter 1 and 2 a few times (yes, I get bored with one character and try it again with another one... >.> ) and in my current playthrough of Chapter 1, I've just now noticed something in the journal entry for the "Beggars Nest: Sword Coast Boys" quest. I'm not sure whether this is because it just appeared this time, or I didn't pay enough attention to the journal entry before, but it mentions a character named Zelieph, which I've never heard of or met. I would assume that, since he's mentioned, there should be some point to mentioning him. However, a google search for "Neverwinter, Zelieph" turned up only that he has a voice under the name "Spirit, Male, Zelieph" (a "groveling, annoying, ghostly" one, which apparently says something like "I welcome you" with an echo effect). Which means you *should* meet him. I just can't find any mention of him anywhere else.

Has anyone else ever actually met this character? Or is this some kind of game glitch in which a mentioned plot point never gets resolved?

Thanks much for your help : )

What exactly does the journal entry say?

Now *this* is a little more spoilery.

There's the usual stuff about how Krestal doesn't know what caused the undead infestation, but he thinks the Sword Coast Boys gang and Drawl have something to do with it, yadda yadda.

The part about Zelieph is like an addendum, in a separate paragraph, and reads as follows: "Krestal also mentioned mentioned Zelieph, Drawl's brother. Zelieph kept Drawl in line, but Drawl recently somehow built up the nerve to kill him." Yes, it says "mentioned" twice.

I think its just background info on Drawl. Maybe the voice file is there because they could have been thinking about adding his ghost or something to the game then changed their minds.

A'ight, just thought I'd ask, since I never noticed it before. I hate missing out on possible XP ^^

Thanks much ^^
