31
32	One of Flemeth's daughters who resides was a Witch of the Wilds in the Tellari Swamps of Antiva.
33	----
34	* {{Druid}}: As is tradition for a Witch of the Wilds. She is so in tune with the fauna as to control a dragon.
35	* HotWitch: Much like her sister Morrigan, she wears very revealing clothes.
36	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Alistair runs her through with his sword after turning down her offer to awaken the rest of the Great Dragons.]]
37	* LadyMacbeth: Attempts this with Alistair, though ironically she encourages him to leave the crown.
38	* StrongFamilyResemblance: It's implied Alistair's animosity towards Yavana derives from her resemblance to Morrigan.
39	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Like her sister, [[spoiler: they signify Yavana's connection to Mythal's vessel.]]
40	* TalkingToTheDead: Uses a spell to pin Claudio Valisti's spirit to his corpse in order to interrogate him.

47
48	An old business partner of Isabela's husband. He is a Merchant Prince of Antiva and the Third Talon of the Antivan Crows.
49	----
50	* AnArmAndALeg: Isabela lops off his hand during their final battle.
51	* ImpoverishedPatrician: When he became the head of the Valisti family, its fortunes had been extremely diminished by the mismanagement of previous heads, and had been reduced in status to Eighth Talon. Claudio quickly went about restoring its fortune, and over the course of six years restored them all the way to Third Talon.
52	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Calls Isabela a whore on several occasions.
53	* PrinceCharmless: Attacks the group multiple times and [[BreakingSpeech begins Isabela's breakdown]] that lasts for all three comics.

62
63	Maevaris is a Tevinter magister, and an old friend and family member of Varric's. She is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} transwoman]].
64	----
65	* TheArchmage: A sitting member of the Magisterium.
66	* TheCameo: She makes a brief appearance in the story "Luck in the Gardens" from ''Literature/TevinterNights''.
67	* DamselInDistress: Is kidnapped and taken to Seheron between Those Who Speak and Until We Sleep.
68	* TheFlapper: She's playful, feisty, with short yet feminine hair, and lives in a domain of constant luxury. And of course, she is inspired by Creator/MaeWest.
69	* HappilyMarried: Was this with Varric's cousin before he died.
70	* InternalReformist: A more idealistic, anti-corruption magister. Several war table missions in ''Inquisition'' deal with her attempts to curtail Venatori influence. The epilogue of the ''Trespasser'' DLC shows that she forms a reformist faction within Tevinter alongside Dorian.
71	* InterspeciesRomance: With her late husband Thorold Tethras, who was a dwarf.
72	* {{Protectorate}}: She promises to protect Varric and his friends as long as they are in Tevinter.
73	* ShamefulStrip: Especially painful given it's implied directly afterwards that Mae hates her body.
74	* SurroundedByIdiots: The early days of the Lucerni. Everyone involved is passionate about their cause, but Maevaris and Dorian are the only two with any real understanding of Tevinter politics. Mae keeps a bucket of ice water on hand for accidental immolations.
75	* TrueBlueFemininity: Most of her outfits have at least some blue on them.

86	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''ComicBook/ThoseWhoSpeak'' \| ''Literature/TevinterNights''
87
88	Rasaan is a Tamassran, in charge of the breeding and raising of children amongst the Qun. She is given the task of reforming Isabela into a Qunari. She is incidentally the first woman of the Qunari race portrayed in the series.
89	----
90	* ActionGirl: She gives Isabela quite the beating, though the Rivaini prevails in the end.
91	* BreakingSpeech: Specializes in this, as a way to bring back the wayward children of the Qun.
92	* MyBelovedSmother: Both a nurturer and enforcer of the Qun.
93	* TheBusCameBack: After ''Those Who Speak,'' she effectively disappeared, never appearing again in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' or the subsequent comics. However, she finally makes her return in the story "Genitivi Dies at the End" from ''Literature/TevinterNights'', where she tries to take the elven books lost in the Silent Plains from Genitivi, Philliam, and Sister Laudine.
94	* PurpleIsPowerful: Most Qunari are grey or purple, and Rasaan is considered very good at what she does.
95	* SeekerArchetype: Her job is to find Isabela, and her repeated question of "What is your real name ?" invokes this archetype.
96	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her outfit in ''Those Who Speak'' does not leave a lot to the imagination.
97	* TortureTechnician: Surprisingly, as it is hard to associate a job so nurturing with something so destructive.
98	** She keeps this up in "Geniviti Dies at the End," [[{{Fingore}} breaking Genitivi's fingers in order to make his group reveal their names.]]
99	* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: While white hair is standard among qunari, she emphasizes the 'pretty' part, being exceptionally beautiful.
100	* WellIntentionedExtremist: While she is abusive towards Isabela, she believes she's helping her accept her true self and follow her intended path. In fact, she believes she is simply scolding a misbehaving child.

107
108	Aurelian Titus is a Tevinter blood mage and Dreamer. He is a worshipper of the Old Gods and seeks to restore their worship in Tevinter.
109	----
110	* BigBad: He controls Claudio and outwits even Yavana.
111	* DreamWeaver: His powers allow control of the Fade, which is indeed the land of dreams.
112	* InTheHood: Depicted in ''Until We Sleep'' wearing a black hood, as is the fashion of many Tevinter mages.
113	* LargeHam: Has an overly grandiose manner of speaking. Fitting, considering his plans.
114	* TheManBehindTheMan: Was rumored to be this to Archon Davan, and was said to have been helping prop up Davan's rule for years behind the scenes before his offical introduction to the Magisterium.
115	* MindControlDevice: Intends to use the Magrallen, an artifact fueled by dragon's blood, to augment his cult's Dreamer powers and brainwash all of Thedas to wipe the Chant of Light and the Qun from their minds.
116	* MysteriousPast: He was introduced to the Magisterium in 9:28 Dragon by Archon Davan and granted the title Magister a month later. This surprised many other Magister, as the Titus family had been believed extinct since the Black Age
117	* NoSell: This is invoked against him twice, first by Alistair and later [[spoiler: by Maric]].
118	* SmugSnake: As pointed out by Maevaris, Titus never really understood the magic he was attempting to wield. [[spoiler:This is ultimately what gets him killed. Using Maric's blood to power the Magrallen makes him immune to its power and enables Maric to kill him.]]
119	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: He was likely behind Archon Davan's assassination after the two had a falling out. By that time Titus' power was firmly entrenched in Tevinter and he no longer had need of Davan.

128
129	A former slave from Tevinter who now works as a Magekiller.
130	----
131	* BadassNormal: He's no Templar, but can fight mages and demons with little difficulty.
132	* DentedIron: Marius is quite heavily-scarred from his battles.
133	* EarlyBirdCameo: Marius first appeared in the short story "Paying the Ferryman". Now he's one of the main characters of this tale.
134	* FriendToAllChildren: Marius initially refuses to accept Flavius's mission because he refuses to do work in Tevinter. However, once he learns that his target is sacrificing children, he changes his tune.
135	* HeroesPreferSwords: Marius never uses anything but his sword in battle, whereas Tessa has been seen using a longbow, a crossbow, a garrotte and a fire bomb on different occasions.
136	* KeepTheReward: Marius has a tendency to refuse to accept payment beyond the reward agreed upon when he is hired, even when it is completely deserved. It annoys Tessa to no end.
137	* NeverLearnedToRead: Being a former slave, he is illiterate, which is where Tessa comes in.
138	* SarcasmBlind: When Tessa jokes that they shouldn't [[DoubleEntendre let the village girls know that Marius is incapacitated]], Marius assumes she means they intend them both harm.

144	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''ComicBook/{{Magekiller}}'' \| ''ComicBook/KnightErrant'' \| ''ComicBook/BlueWraith'' \| ''ComicBook/DarkFortress''
145
146	A noblewoman from one of Nevarra's most powerful families. She is estranged from her family and now works as Marius' handler.
147	----
148	* BrainsAndBrawn: Marius handles most of the fighting while Tessa handles the business side of things.
149	* {{Foil}}: To Marius. While Marius is a Warrior who tends to be on the quiet side, Tessa is a Rogue who is chatty and tends to handle the business side of things.
150	* TheGhost: Sort of in ''Inquisition''. A noble named Lady Forsythia was first mentioned in a conversation between Leliana and Josephine in Skyhold. What relation she is to Tessa is unclear.
151	* HeroicSacrifice: Charter warns Tessa not to perform one of these for Marius. In the end, [[spoiler: she nearly sacrifices herself to save Shayd from Sutherland's company.]]
152	* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Tessa has at least seven older brothers and sisters. She fought with them a lot, along with her parents. And her tutors. And a local bartender.
153	* MasterOfUnlocking: Naturally, being a rogue. She picks the restraints of the young nobleman in the first issue and her own slave chains in the second.
154	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: One of the reasons she left her family in Nevarra was because she dislikes how her countrymen are obsessed with the dead to the point where they don't enjoy life.

169
170	The Archon of the Tevinter Imperium, who hires Marius and Tessa for a special job.
171	----
172	* {{Ambadassador}}: According to Josephine, he is both a skilled politician and a powerful mage. [[RightHandCat Rumour has it he also has a fondness for cats.]]
173	* TheArchmage: As Archon, he is considered the most powerful mage of Tevinter.
174	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Given that the role of Archon is nowadays perhaps the only role of the Tevinter Imperium in which being born in a notably advantaged social position and/or having great skill in politics enough to move up is not enough and you still have to prove yourself as TheArchmage also in the facts.
175	* EarlyBirdCameo: He is initially mentioned in ''Inquisition'' in a series of sidequests.
176	* TheEmperor: The current ruler of Tevinter.
177	* ManipulativeBastard: He preys upon Marius' soft spot for children, knowing that he would otherwise not be taking a job in Tevinter.
178	* PragmaticVillainy: While he's in favor of restoring Tevinter, Radonis opposes the Venatori partially because they seek to depose him, and partially because the Venatori would start a war with Southern Thedas that the Imperium could not win while also fending off the Qunari.

188	A wandering Fereldan knight who travels the world with his squire Vaea.
189	----
190	* TheAlcoholic: Ser Aaron is rarely seen without a drink in his hand.
191	** He had sworn off the booze at the end of Knight Errant, but [[OffTheWagon relapsed after seeing Olivia go to bed with Calix]]. As shown in ''Blue Wraith'' and ''Dark Fortress'', he is still struggling with his alcoholism.
192	* BenevolentBoss: He saved Vaea from a life of poverty, openly brags about her skills and even claims that she could be a knight one day.
193	* ChildSoldiers: Ser Aaron was a fighter since the age of nine.
194	* CoolOldGuy: Given that he fought in the Ferelden rebellion, he would have to be in his sixties, but he is still an active adventurer who also treats elves far better than most people of his status.
195	* DatingCatwoman: A long time ago, Ser Aaron fell in love with a woman named Elena, who he later learned was a con artist named Olivia Pryde.
196	* KnewItAllAlong: [[spoiler: Ser Aaron was fully aware of Vaea's thievery, but tolerated it because she never targeted anyone who didn't at least somewhat deserve it and she shared her spoils with the poor.]]
197	* KnightErrant: He is a landless knight who travels Thedas telling tales and serving as an unofficial ambassador of King Alistair.
198	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Ser Aaron dies at the climax of ''ComicBook/DarkFortress'', allowing the Red Wraith to impale him so that he can wrench his red lyrium sword away and disrupt the monster's HealingFactor]].
199	* MyGreatestFailure: Ser Aaron was at the Battle of Ostagar and stood with Loghain's troops. When Loghain made the decision to retreat, Ser Aaron charged on to the battlefield in an attempt to save King Cailan. Unfortunately, he was too late. Years later, he is still haunted by nightmares of that failure.
200	* RememberTheNewGuy: He was in Loghain's army at Ostagar when it was massacred during the Fifth Blight, but made no appearance in ''Origins''.
201	* TheStoryteller: He has many stories of his adventures and even Varric considers him a better storyteller.
202	* UnreliableNarrator: According to Vaea, he tells the same stories many times but frequently changes the details, so the accuracy of his tales is somewhat debatable.

210	Ser Aaron's squire, who moonlights as a thief-for-hire behind his back.
211	----
212	* AnimalEyes: She's consistantly drawn with goat-like eyes. It's never commented on and doesn't have a lore reason.
213	* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Vaea (and technically Ser Aaron) make a brief appearance in the story "Herold Had the Plan" from ''Literature/TevinterNights''.]]
214	* BadassCape: A knee-length green one clasped in a Ferelden style with a fur hood. She mostly uses it to hide her knives behind her back.
215	* ClassyCatBurglar: Her main occupation. In particular, Vaea specializes in second-storey thievery and pickpocketing, though she has other roguish talents.
216	* IdiotHair: Often has one hair sticking up from on top of her head.
217	* InTheHood: Whenever Vaea is out thieving, she pulls up her fur-lined hood.
218	* MasterOfUnlocking: As a rogue, Vaea can pick locks, but she mentions it isn't her strongest skill.
219	* ParentalAbandonment: Vaea's parents were killed in an uprising against Arl Gell when she was nine. To survive, she turned to stealing.
220	* HisQuirkLivesOn: [[spoiler:After Ser Aaron's death, she adopts his storytelling hobby.]]
221	* RecruitedFromTheGutter: Aaron offered Vaea the job of his squire after she tried to steal a Vhenedahl sapling from Arl Gell Lendon, who ruled the town of Edgehall.
222	* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a red scarf not unlike the one worn by [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Bethany Hawke]].
223	* StealthExpert: She specializes in acquiring her target without getting caught.
224	* StreetUrchin: Vaea was a more rural version of this trope than the usual city-raised street waif, as her hometown of Edgehall was a small community that was more of a fort than anything else.
225	* StrongerThanTheyLook: Like most elves, Vaea is small in stature and very thin, but she's still strong enough to [[spoiler: catch the hulking Ser Nevin before he plummets to the street from several stories up, and is later able to use a candelabra to knock him out.]]
226	* ThouShaltNotKill: As she mentions in ''ComicBook/DarkFortress'', Vaea has never killed anyone. She's not opposed to beating up opponents, but she's never taken a life. [[spoiler: She ends up killing Magister Nenealeus before he can finish off Marius.]]

235	----
236	* AcroFatic: Despite being short and fat, he's nonetheless capable of catching up to Vaea while chasing her in Issue 5 of ''Knight Errant''.
237	* AdventurerArchaeologist: Cedric is apparently an archaeologist of the Indiana Jones variety, though he is more of a thief than a hero. He refers to Bram Kenric of the ''Jaws of Hakkon'' DLC as a rival.
238	* CategoryTraitor: [[spoiler: Cedric is employed first by House Qintara and then by House Danarius from the Tevinter Imperium. As Tevinter is the enemy of Orlais, that means he is effectively a traitor to his country.]]
239	* FatBastard: [[spoiler: The very corpulent Professor Marquette is currently working for House Danarius and is helping them to create a red lyrium warrior in the mold of Fenris from ''VideoGames/DragonAgeII.'']]
240	* InTheHood: Switches to a red hood and cape when his true allegiances are revealed.
241	* RegretfulTraitor: Despite [[spoiler: working for the Tevinter magisters]], he doesn't seem particularly keen on their more ruthless tactics. He outright orders his underlings to stop slaughtering hapless Starkhaven guards in Issue 4 of ''KnightErrant''.
242	** In the finale of ''ComicBook/DarkFortress'', he [[spoiler: tells Ser Aaron how to defeat the Red Wraith, noting that he never intended to create such a monster.]]

262	* InLoveWithTheMark: She clearly developed feelings for Ser Aaron during their brief tryst years before. Ser Aaron speculates this is why she only stole something from the knight that she knew her fence, Slim Couldry, would return.

271	The supposed “heir” to the reclusive House Qintara, who is quickly revealed to be a small-time grifter.
272	----
273	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Calix is a little dense when it comes to reading people. In the first issue, he mistakes Dorian Pavus as a potential mark shortly after Olivia had rightly sized up Dorian as too smart to fool. In the second issue, he thinks it's a good idea to work with a pair of Antivan Crows, [[spoiler: who end up murdering Francesca's brother after their arrangement is concluded.]] And in the third issue, he completely misreads Vaea's intentions and thinks she's romantically interested in him, prompting him to lean in for a kiss.
274	* {{Jerkass}}: Calix is a bit of a selfish dick, though he does [[HiddenDepths occasionally act bravely or with concern towards others.]]
275	* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Calix takes on Olivia's last name after her death in the third issue.]]
276	* NonActionGuy: Calix isn't really much of a fighter, preferring to use his wits to get out of battle. [[spoiler:He leaves the party at the end of ''Blue Wraith'', knowing that he's not cut for a dangerous journey like this.]]
277	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Calix decides the events of ''Blue Wraith'' are quite enough for him and leaves the heroes at the end of the comic.]]

290	* HeroicLineage: Olivia claims that Autumm is a descendent of the Hero of Ferelden's mabari.
291	* ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears a distinctive green scarf around her neck and is seen in Issue 3 of ''Blue Wraith'' killing at least two qunari.

300	A young Tevinter mage who belongs to House Invidus. Her father and brother were both involved in the Venatori from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', but she was left out of the cult due to her inexperience and more gentle nature.
301	----
302	* CombatMedic: Francesca uses a combination of healing magic and her ability to make embriums grow to fix the injured leg of Aaron's horse, Casse.
303	* GreenThumb: Francesca has this power, which Fenris notes is rare outside of Dalish clans. A two-page spread in the first issue of ''Blue Wraith'' shows how devastatingly effective it is in the right circumstances, as she massacres the squad of qunari her companions are fighting.
304	* RedHeadedHero: She's a Tevinter mage, but is unambiguously a good person.
305	* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:She ends up killing her JerkAss father, which was all that was left of her family.]]
306	* TheUnfavorite: While her father showed little love for either of his children, he definitely preferred Florian to Francesca.
307	* UnskilledButStrong: So far she has shown a magical talent linked solely to plants and healing, much to the chagrin of her violent and distant father, but her older brother considered her one of the most powerful mages he knew and during her adventures with Fenris's group she proves to be one of the their most dangerous members.
308	* YouthfulFreckles: She's a 21 year old woman according to WordOfGod, making her and Vaea the youngest of the team, and she has freckles to show it.

327
328	A former ally of Fenris who willingly entered the service of Magister Nenealeus in order to learn how to become a [[TheWitchHunter magekiller]].
329	----
330	* EvilFormerFriend: To Fenris.
331	* HulkingOut: [[spoiler:After his transformation into the Red Wraith, Shirallas grows considerably larger and more muscular.]]
332	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: His driving motivation seems to be attaining power similar to or greater than that of Fenris. And he will do anything to achieve that power, including sacrificing his fellow elves.
333	* MadeASlave: Shirallas deliberately swapped places with another elven slave in hopes that Nenealeus would teach him the skills of a magekiller. The magister immediately recognized the deception, but took Nenealeus under his wing anyways.
334	* MyParentsAreDead: Shirallas was originally a Dalish elf whose clan was massacred. He spent years on his own before being taken in by another clan.
335	* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: His final fate at Fenris' hands.]]
336	* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:After being imbued with red lyrium markings, his hair turns bright red.]]
337	* TheQuietOne: Shirallas rarely speaks in the presence of his Tevinter allies, but he is still very much capable of speaking, as he boasts to Fenris that soon he will command power even greater than that of the Blue Wraith.

343	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/PayingTheFerryman'' \| ''ComicBook/BlueWraith'' \| ''ComicBook/DarkFortress''
344
345	A Tevinter magister who trains [[MageKiller magekillers]]. He is the mastermind behind the scheme to create a lyrium-enhanced warrior similar to Fenris using Meredith's red lyrium sword.
346	----
347	* BadBoss: Nenealeus thinks nothing of sacrificing his subordinates as test subjects for the lyrium sarcophagus.
348	* BaldOfEvil: Nenealeus hits a lot of the stereotypical villain tropes, including this one.
349	* BeardOfEvil: When he first appears, Nenealeus sports a long white beard that includes a large Fu Manchu-looking mustache and a braided portion hanging from his chin.
350	* EarlyBirdCameo: While he didn't make an actual appearance until Blue Wraith, Nenealeus was actually name-dropped way back in the short story "Paying the Ferryman," which explored Calpernia's background.
351	* EvilMentor: He is this to Marius, though Nenealeus has never hidden his villainous nature.
352	* EvilWearsBlack: Par for the course with magisters.
353	* EyepatchOfPower: As noted on the main page.

362	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''ComicBook/DarkFortress''
363
364	The bastard son of Danarius, Fenris' former master. He is (or rather was) part of the plot to use Danarius' sarcophagus to create another lyrium-enhanced warrior similar to Fenris but empowered instead with red lyrium.
365	----
366	* BastardBastard: Tractus was a key member of the plot to create a red lyrium-enhanced warrior until Nenealeus forced him out of Castellum Tenebris.
367	* {{Goth}}: Very much invokes this trope, given his jet-black hair and pale skin.
368	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Tractus initially serves two purposes in Dark Fortress - he provides information to the heroes about the secret passage he used to get out of Castellum Tenebris, and then he informs the invading qunari about the ritual, which prompts their siege of the fortress. He pops up later in the last issue to take [[spoiler:the lyrium idol]] from Cedric Marquette, which is heavily foreshadowed as factoring into [[spoiler:Solas' plans]].
369	* SinsOfOurFathers: Fenris was more than eager to ruthlessly slaughter him solely because he's Danarius's son, even though he was only a child at the time Fenris was a slave.
370	* YouKilledMyFather: He references this trope when he encounters Fenris.
