48. : I take no pleasure in ousting Wulbren. But he's not the old friend I remember. When did he get so angry? So violent?
16. : Someone like that cannot lead the Ironhand Gnomes. We need peace.
31. Player: You'll make a great leader of the Ironhand Gnomes.['Astarion 1', 'Lae'zel 1', 'Gale 1', 'Shadowheart 1', 'Wyll 1', 'Karlach 1', 'Jaheira 1', 'Minthara 1', 'Minsc 1', 'Halsin 1']
52. : I am many things - a leader is not one of them. But no time like the present to learn. And I can't do worse than Wulbren, sorry as I am to say it.
45. : I don't know when he became so angry - so violent. But I'm glad to say I see the truth of it now. At last.
59. Player: You should have killed Wulbren.['Astarion 1', 'Gale -1', 'Shadowheart 1', 'Lae'zel 1', 'Wyll -1', 'Karlach -1', 'Jaheira -1', 'Minthara 1', 'Minsc -1', 'Halsin -1']
23. : Wulbren might be a violent bastard, but I have the privilege of being better than him.
5. : And now I have a great responsibility to boot. I'm not sure I know how to lead the Ironhand Gnomes, but I won't do worse than Wulbren, that's for sure.
42. : Thank you for your encouragement. I needed it. And have done since the day we met.
22. : I may have lost Wulbren. But I found a far preferable ally. Friend, even.devnote
56. : Now! Myself and the Ironhand Gnomes have much to disentangle. But when you're ready to face what's waiting for you, believe me: we will be at your side.devnote

29. : Still, I just can't save Wulbren. He won't rest until the Gondians are dead. And you in the bargain.devnote
14. Player: Let him come - I'll be ready.
34. : I know. And one of you will die. Wulbren, I'd wager.devnote
24. Player: Why can't he let the Gondians be?
49. : Because he has the same weakness as the Gondians - pride. He's simply more honest about it. And more brutal.devnote
3. Player: What about you? I doubt he's happy with you either.
60. : Let's be honest. Wulbren hasn't been happy with me in... hm. Ever, upon reflection.
28. : I'm starting to see the truth of him, believe it or not. My expectations of that mugungus have changed significantly. But I still want the best for him.devnote
37. : Which is why I'm going after him. Someone has to stop him from ending his life in a blaze of foolishness.devnote
