Balduran was a legendary seafaring trader and explorer and namesake of the city of Baldur's Gate, and he was considered its founder. He was the first to cross the Trackless Sea from Faerûn to Anchorome and explored that land, and returned to enrich his home. However, he disappeared on his second voyage there, with numerous legends and accounts of his ultimate fate. In life, he was nicknamed Baldur, which he liked enough to use for business until it was commonly taken to be his real name.
