Did they?
Descent into Avernus:
In its recollection of BG1's story, Sarevok is killed by "another Bhaalspawn" and doesn't mention Abdel Adrian by name.

BG3:
Abdel Adrian is mentioned, BUT it's practically an Easter egg to find that mention to begin with, being in one relatively nondescript house in the middle of the city. And even when you do discover Abdel's mention, he is only referred to as a "great hero in his time" by the resident of that place and only established that he was a Grand Duke. Abdel is NOT explicitly referred to as Gorion's Ward or even as a Bhaalspawn at all. And all actual references to Gorion's Ward in BG3 keep them nameless.
