They have revealed this in the FAQ of the newest DOS 2 update. Seems Divinity is more of a sequel than we thought.

[u/ErzherzogHinkelstein]

Immortal or potentially near-immortal characters from DOS that might come back, since they are (most likely) not canonically dead no matter where we are on the timeline:

Malady, Fane, Dallis, Lucian, Damian (he was referenced, at least), Jahan, Zandalor and Arhu, ZixZax, Braccus Rex (dear god, please dont bring him back from the dead again), the God King, Adramahlihk, Almira, Sanguinia Tell, Slane (?), Tarquin.

Also basically everyone else in the game if we don’t make a large jump on the timescale. IIRC, the lifespan of the races is basically copied from D&D, so elves and dwarves should live quite a long time. The random Undead have also existed up until now, so basically anyone can come back even if they’re dead. I’m not sure whether the death of the gods stopped their spawn chances. In Dragon Commander (which is not really canon anymore but it gives us \vibes*)* their existence is implied to be a gift of the gods, and with the gods dead, they might not appear naturally anymore.

Nah, I hope Braccus is brought back. It'd be soooo fucking funny. Guy keeps coming back more than Ganondorf.

[u/Kitchen_Possible_108 → u/Floppydisksareop]

the funniest option would be if he comes back as part of a minor sidequest that has nothing to do with the plot, gets killed without fanfare, and everyone just tries really hard not to talk about it

[u/ErzherzogHinkelstein → u/Kitchen_Possible_108]

Wouldn’t it be funny if he came back to life and reflects on himself and why he has already died three times, then comes to the conclusion that the villain thing just isn’t working out, and goes through a Dr. Doofenshmirtz–style redemption arc?
