If you haven't read Servant of the Shard you might not want to read this question.

I just read Servant of the Shard, and at the very end it mentions that Jarlaxle was of the third son of Matron Baenre, and that he had been sacrificed to Lloth. I was shocked. Although my resources are limited, I had not come across any information to indicate a relationship between Jarlaxle and House Baenre other than the friendship with Zaknafein (I have read most of Salvatore's novels).
Are there any other novels dealing with the origins of Jarlaxle or Bregan D'aerthe? Is there relevant information in some of the source books? Now I am really curious about his history. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

| All i know is that there are rumors that Salvatore plans a trilogy about Jarlaxle and Entreri after the hunters' blades trilogy... which i would think would give some background on Jarlaxle since it sets on him and artemis... |

When I finished reading Servant of the Shard I came up with a couple of other questions.
1)How did he actually survie?
2)Perhaps all third son's of noble houses are different from their people, and maybe that's the reason why Lolth wants them sacrified? |

There are many questions about Jarlaxle that have gone unanswered. This is one of the reasons I feel his character is so interesting.

Now that is an interesting thought, it would explain much. |
Wow! That has no saving throw written all over it. |
