Blackwell
The Grey Wardens hold a lonely vigil, enduring lives of hardship
and sacrifice to protect the world from an evil that can never truly be
conquered. Few would volunteer for this: the suffering, isolation, and
promise of a violent death. But the path of a Warden is also one of
valor, and those who give themselves to the cause are rewarded with the
knowledge that they have become something more than they were. Blackwall
is one of the rare few Wardens who chose, of his own accord, to pick up
the shield. He believes so wholeheartedly in the noble ideal of the
Grey Wardens that he would rather have this life than any other.
Cassandra
Though of noble birth, Cassandra Pentaghast turned her back on a
life of wealth and privilege to join the Seekers of Truth. The ancient
order serves as a watchful eye over corruption and magical threats,
granted ultimate authority in its investigations by the Chantry—or it
did, prior to abandoning their duty in response to the mage rebellion.
Cassandra did not join her brothers in this, instead remaining loyal to
Divine Justinia and her efforts to restore order in the face of chaos.
She is both pious and driven, the sword in the right hand of the Divine,
seeking justice above all else.
Cole
"He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds.
He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and
slip away, never to be seen again. Those few who do notice him soon
forget he ever existed… and Cole isn't certain that he does exist. He is
a spirit, impossibly caught between the immaterial realm of the Fade
and the confusing realities of our physical world, but does that make
him real? Does it make him human or a demonic pretender, as some
believe?
All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain and
he must find his place within it. Those who wish to restore order and
help the helpless will find him a strange but unwavering ally. Those who
use their power for selfish reasons may never see Cole again—if they
remember that he was there to begin with."
Dorian
Being from a proud bloodline of the Tevinter Imperium has its
advantages: Dorian was born with a flair for magic that made him the
envy of his peers. He is charming and confident, his wit as sharp as any
blade, and if some suggest his manner cocky, it could be attributed to
being a powerful mage in a land where mages rule. Indeed, Dorian would
be the pride of his family—if he didn't oppose everything his homeland
has come to stand for. He wears the labels of "pariah" and "outcast"
proudly, knowing that views of the Imperium are unlikely to change until
and unless someone of his ability stands up to make a difference.
Sera
Sera is impulsive and revels in the moment. For her, it's not
about what's right, it's about what's right now. In the Friends of Red
Jenny, she humbled authority and had fun doing it. But now the nobility
are being not just selfish but blind. War, demons, a torn sky: these are
more than troubling—they're terrifying. Fortunately, Sera and her
"friends" can be frightening, too, and if she needs to put an arrow
through some baddies so regular people can sleep at night, so be it.
Sera fights for those caught in the middle, but she also needs order
restored. The world has to be normal so she can play.
Solas
"Solas has spent his life as an apostate, living in the
wilderness well away from the civilized world and those who would
shackle him for what he is. He mastered his magic without the help of
tutors, spending years exploring the spirit realm of the Fade and coming
to an understanding of its denizens that few others could claim. He
would be happiest left alone to sleep in ancient ruins, searching for
memories and knowledge that has been lost for ages, but the Breach in
the sky threatens all worlds.
At a time when other mages flee into hiding, Solas has put his
freedom at risk by emerging from the shadows to assist those who would
combat the chaos. He will not stand idly by when his knowledge of the
arcane could mean the difference between salvation and utter
destruction. "
Varric
Varric Tethras is one part adventurous rogue, one part dashing
storyteller, and three parts trouble. Born on the surface, Varric has
little love for his underground brethren—all his contacts lie with the
dwarves of the Merchants Guild, though he has little taste for their
schemes. Still, he has found a place as an outsider, rubbing shoulders
with both the wealthy elite as well as the worst of scoundrels. To hear
him tell of it, that’s all he truly cares about, though anyone who truly
knows him claims differently. They say that, try as he might, Varric
has been drawn more and more into conflicts that shake the world—ones
that he can’t get himself out of with a quick tale.
Vivienne
Referred to as Madame de Fer, “the Lady of Iron”, Vivienne lives
up to her title. A leader among the mages and official enchanter to the
Imperial court, she is renowned as a fearsome woman who achieved her
position through guile and deft political maneuvering. Vivienne allows
nothing to stand in the way of what she desires—not those who claim she
is a social climber, not those who seek to restrict her power, not even
her fellow mages who would conscript her into a rebellion with which she
disagrees. Vivienne fights to restore order in a world gone mad…so long
as that leaves her among those left standing, once all is said and
done.
