History Characters / DragonAgeInquisition

* RebelLeader: The developers have said the new Inquisition, and Inquisitor by extension, are "young upstarts", that must earn [[WorthyOpponent begrudging respect]] from the various factions.

* ActionGirl

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The Pentaghasts are Nevarra's royal family.

* AscendedExtra: In her first appearance, she was essentially the instigator of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'''s FramingDevice; she basically existed for Varric to talk at and to make [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowy]] comments. Now she's a party member (not to mention the star of [[Anime/DawnOfTheSeeker her own movie]]).

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Usually referred to as the Inquistor, as their given name is player customizable, and thus nearly impossible to use in a fully voice acted game.

* RebelLeader: The Inquisitor, due to the Inquisition being reformed in opposition to the Chantry and many of the other factions. The developers have referred to it (and thus you also) as being the "young upstart", that nonetheless comes to earn a [[WorthyOpponent begrudging respect]] from the various other groups.
* SoleSurvivor: In the opening act of the game, the Inquisitor witnesses the opening of the giant Veil tear and is the only one to get out alive.

* WarIsHell: The teaser trailer shows rather shell-shocked Varric standing over a battleground, filled with bodies.

* [[spoiler: HotMom: If importing a save where Dark Ritual was performed. Whether the Old God Child will make an appearance as well is thus-far unconfirmed. The first epilogue also suggests she conceives a child if romanced, Ritual or no.]]

* [[spoiler: HotMom: If importing a save where Dark Ritual was performed. Whether the Old God Child will make an appearance as well is thus-far unconfirmed]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: One possible epilogue slide in ''Origins'' hinted that a woman matching Morrigan's description was seen several years later in Orlais, having insinuated herself within the Empress' court. Early game screens have depicted Morrigan in a building with a ceiling fresco of the Empress Celene, implying that she may very well be in Orlais]].

* WomanInBlack: Both the teaser and released images depict Morrigan in an [[PimedOutDress Orlesian-style dress]], with FingerlessGloves.

* NiceHat: She's a mage and Orlesian, so elaborate headgear is a must.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Usually refered to as the Inquistor, as their given name is player customizable, and thus nearly impossible to use in a fully voice acted game.

An Orlesian mage who was next in line for the First Enchanter's position at the White Spire (or Montsimmard) before the entire Circle of Magi went rogue. A staunch supporter of the Circle system, she joins the Inquisition to support her fellow mages in any way she can.

* MultipleChoicePast: The main character can once again be an elf, a dwarf, or a human, with additional selectable backgrounds for each race. They aren't [[MultipleGameOpenings playable]] like in ''Origins'', however.

* AscendedExtra: In her first appearance, she was essentially the instigator of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'''s FramingDevice; she basically existed for Varric to talk at and to make [[{{Foreshadowing}} foreshadowy]] comments. Now she's a party member.
