  <about><![CDATA[Drew Karpyshyn is a Canadian author and game designer. After working at a credit union for some time, he eventually became a game developer. He joined BioWare towards the end of the Baldur's Gate series, and wrote the tie-in novel for Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. He stayed with BioWare, where he worked on Neverwinter Nights, and became the Senior Writer on the critically acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

This Star Wars connection gave him the opportunity to write Darth Bane: Path of Destruction and its sequel, his first hardcovers. Karpyshyn still works for BioWare where he was the lead writer for the Mass Effect series]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Edmonton, Alberta</hometown>  <born_at>07/28/1971</born_at>
