This is a post-game, AU character concept. Enver Gortash died prior to the assault on the city by the Netherbrain, and the man presently living is the result of a Reincarnation spell, more than likely -- hence the shift in race, as that part is pretty much always random. All in all, lucky. Why this happened can be worked out for PSL reasons. In general, he is not quickly recognized and doesn't appear to be doing a good deal in relation to politics. To most, he is just an artificer who lives on the outskirts of the city and appears to be doing some studies on Infernal smithing on the side.
For the sake of his current PSL, he is alive because a reformed Dark Urge interceded on his behalf and at least convinced him that the original plan was going to fail, and thanks to some infernal meddling might have been clued into the Black Hand's hidden intentions for him even if the plot went as planned. He died because Bane killed him for his disobedience, and Withers might think it's amusing that two of the Dead Three had their Chosen dump them.
In that PSL he disappeared from Baldur's Gate for a time to lie low, but where he wound up was the House of Hope, recently taken over by -- well, Hope, which might as well be its namesake now. More to buy enough goodwill to keep a target off his back but also because he's too proud not to find a solution to his own prototype, he set to work trying to find a fix for Karlach's engine. While actively avoiding having too many awkward conversations or having his face punched in.
If he's back in Baldur's Gate, then presumably he was successful to at least some degree.

appearance
Decently tall for a half-elf (and already taller than Average for a drow) and with a slightly better than average build, especially for his age. He's not as bulkily muscular as he was maybe ten or fifteen years prior, when he had several years working a forge to build him up (and not yet someone whispering in his ear to go into politics and outsource a lot of the labor half of his designing), but still decent. He has the gray skin of his apparent race and chestnut-brown eyes that seem to absorb light like a cat's. His black hair is still thick and feathery but now falls just past his shoulders, so he tends to keep it tied back and out of the way. He still bears the scars of his previous life, most prominently the off-center slash on his chin.
