Was Sargamis a character in Pillars of Eternity games?

Sargamis is encountered as part of the Dawntreader side-quest in Avowed, which will take players to a ruined Temple of Eothas in search of a missing expedition. He is godlike, akin to the envoy, and his gold-sheened appearance reflects his identity as the incarnation of the god of light Eothas.

According to the lore, Sargamis, Eadnung (the Right Hand), and Modegund were three divine beings who visited the farmer Waidven to urge him to punish the local Ardyran governer, which is what helped stoke the fires of the Saint's War that eventually led to his death.

That said, Sargamis has never appeared in a POE game before, at least not directly. Although he is namedropped in the Book of Verses in the first Pillars of Eternity game (in the Temple of Eothas), he makes his official debut in Avowed as the oracle the protagonist is searching for in the ruined Temple of Eothas.

As such, hardcore fans of the series will be excited to face off against Sangramis when they encounter him.
