* GrayingMorality

* BadassFamily: Common to most of the kids

* BullyingADragon: He's the dragon.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Gaining a human side has turned Urthemiel into this

* {{Troll}}: Urthemiel does this a lot. He hasn't forgotten the Wardens killing him atop Fort Drakon, though he seems to accept they did what they had to do

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Starts out merely a healer, but after they put her in charge she grows into an ActionGirl

* PimpedOutDress: Wears one in Tevinter. Hates it

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Either Kieran or Urthemiel gave her this. She's the only one other than Kieran himself that remembers the events of ''Bloodlines'' after they successfully hit the reset button.

* TheSnarkKnight: There really isn't anyone Loghain won't poke fun at

* AmazonianBeauty: Gavren clearly thinks so

* BadassNormal: Despite being a warrior, she isn't one. She seems to have inherited at least some of her father's durability and super strength
* {{BFS}}: Much like her father, she wields one

* LadyOfWar:
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Her relationship with Gavren has shades of this

* ShipperOnDeck: Very eager to get Kieran and Salla together again in the alternate timeline. Not at all subtle about it
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: To Gavren
* WomenAreDelicate: Averted. She chases qunari down, waving a massive two-handed sword, to explain to them just how wrong they are

* ActionSurvivor: Starts as one back in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champions]], and grows into a BadassNormal

[[spoiler: In [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6459202/chapters/14782822 What's the Worst that Could Happen]] failing to protect Kieran causes him to break down to the point he's throwing punches at Cullen]]

* BadassFamily: [[spoiler: He's Solas' younger half-brother]]
* BadassTeacher: Becomes one of these when Duncan puts him in charge of Ferelden's university

* CoolOldGuy

* DeadpanSnarker: Enough that it's possible he's also an ancestor of Jerath Tabris

* TheLancer: It's hinted he may have once been this to Solas. [[spoiler: Turns out he was the one who retrieved the orb and put it in Mythal's temple]]

* MagicKnight: Original flavor, no less

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Most of them by millenia, the last one very recently. The kids seem to become ReplacementGoldfish for him

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After the werewolf curse is lifted, she goes looking for the Wardens

* KnightInShiningArmor

* TookALevelInBadass

* BattleCouple: Only fights at Ruya's side a few times, but when he does they are definitely this

* TheComicallySerious: Is surrounded by goofballs. Occasionally reveals he's NotSoAboveItAll , particularly in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6451912/chapters/14766025 Not The Herald]], where he just calmly starts pranking Kathan back

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Fluctates between this and BadassNormal depending on lyrium
* AFatherToHisMen: Shares this with his wife, and the Inquisition's soldiers return it with UndyingLoyalty

* HappilyMarried: To Ruya
* KnightInShiningArmor

* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TeamDad: Becomes this to the Order

* ArcherArchetype: Can hit someone's eye from a hundred yards away
* AmazonChaser: He is Ferelden after all

* DeadpanSnarker: He and Jerath are prone to engaging in SnarkToSnarkCombat

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In addition to becoming a Gray Warden, whatever the Architect did to him in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060589/chapters/13893241 Awakening of the Dragon]] allows him to enter and control the Fade like a mage does. [[spoiler: It's hinted he is carrying a portion of Razikale's soul]]
* GoodIsNotNice: Though a moral man, he is an assassin skilled at using poison

* TheStoic: Possibly why he and Jerath bond so well
* TallDarkAndSnarky: And grumpy, now and then

* BadassAdorable: She's one of the dragonsworn

* OddFriendship: With Vigilance, a spirit, whom she treats as a big brother

Younger sister of Duncan, wife of Loghain II, and Teryna of Gwaren

* ActionGirl: As tough as her parents
* BeastOfBattle: One of Kirkwall's griffon riders

* HeWhoFightsMonsters:

* StockholmSyndrome: [[spoiler: His devotion to Margot has definite overtones of this. It's not lost on Dorian.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Pretty much no redeeming features

* CasualDangerDialog: He's so used to getting jumped by bandits it barely even causes a hiccup in the conversation.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Actually averts somewhat in his own timeline. While he's a skilled archer by anyone's standards, he's otherwise dependent on his bodyguards in melee.

Jerath starts the story barely an adult by Thedas standards, and his size leads many to mistake him for a child. At least, until he starts fighting and talking, when he proves himself both deadly and far older than his years would indicate. He is a rage abomination and was trained to fight by the demon in his head, making him one of the finest warriors in Thedas. He eventually ends up the host of none other than Razikale

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Keeps ending up in charge of things, even when he doesn't want to. Considering how powerful he ends up, it's probably a good thing he has no desire to actually rule.

* DualWielding: Magic swords

* ActionGirl: Has been one for centuries
* CoolBigSis: Practically adopts Agatha as a little sister
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Does this so Loghain can pull Caleb to safety
* {{Immortality}}: As the well has been destroyed, she is now aging at a normal rate
* KilledOffForReal: Though her body wasn't found, Solas confirmed her death

* MagicKnight: Heavy on the knight

* NamesTheSame: Was named after Kieran's father. Is deeply honored when Kieran says that he understands why

* {{BFS}}: Favors two-handed weapons, so he's also just as prone to DropTheHammer or have AnAxeToGrind

* AnAxeToGrind: In more ways than one

%% * Ambadassador}}: Serves as one for the Inquisition

%% * Beware TheNiceOnes: Prefers the diplomatic option and borders on pacifist at times.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Prefers the diplomatic option and borders on pacifist at times.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Him and Leandra

* TheLancer: Becomes one to Duncan

* PhysicalGod: It's hinted he has the potential to become this.

* ArcherArchetype

* WarriorPrince: One of these in the past

* BlatantLies

* KnifeNut: Carries a couple dozen and is prone to picking up any he finds.

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: Being TheStoic , he doesn't do this often. When he does, Agatha goes weak in the knees.

* AdultFear: Trian seems to be the only one of the kids who actually realizes how dangerous things are

[[folder:Jerath Tabris [[spoiler: /Razikale]] ]]

Jerath starts the story barely an adult by Thedas standards, and his size leads many to mistake him for a child. At least, until he starts fighting and talking, when he proves himself both deadly and far older than his years would indicate. He is a rage abomination and was trained to fight by the demon in his head, making him one of the finest warriors in Thedas. [[spoiler: He eventually ends up the host of none other than Razikale]]

* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses this in Vathran's world. [[spoiler: Shortly after, he crosses the MoralEventHorizon, answering the ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6459202/chapters/14782822 What's the Worst That Could Happen?]]'' question .]]

* NotSoDifferent: He's willing to sacrifice a lot to improve the lives of elves, making him something of a foil to Solas despite the fact the two men clearly can't stand each other.

* NotSoDifferent: Various people point out to Hawke that she is this to him

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* InterspeciesRomance: Is the product of one. And then some.

* WhatIfGodWasOneOfUs: The kids take the fact there is a physical god walking around with them pretty well, treating Urthemiel himself as 'just one of the guys'. It might be why Urthemiel likes them and is willing to work with them.

* YourCheatingHeart: Though his wife is both aware, approving, and has her own extramarital relationships.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Has this attitude at the start. While he gets over it, he never stops being proud of his Dalish roots.

* {{Adorkable}}: When romancing Cullen

* {{Adorkable}}: Occasionally around Sera, to the befuddlement of everyone else who knows her

* PrecociousCrush: The younger version of Jerath Gilmore turns rather {{adorkable}} when she's around. She's clearly fond of him though, and after his PlotRelevantAgeUp falls hard.

* FamilyOfChoice: Despite no blood relation between them, he considers Leandra and Loghain II to be his cousins due to their parents' friendship with his father.

* MysticalPregnancy: Is the result of one, as Anora was barren until either Razikale or Mythal intervened a little. It's heavily implied that it was Razikale, meaning on some level Loghain and Kieran are siblings.

* BadassGay: And not the slightest bit angsty about it.

* BadassGay: Really likes female elves. Especially ones named Sera.

* BadassGay

* TheBard : Both in terms of actually singing and in acting as a spy. He eventually becomes the Inquisition's spymaster when Leliana becomes Divine.
* {{BFS}} : Favors two-handed weapons, so he's also just as prone to DropTheHammer or have AnAxeToGrind
* ButtMonkey : Partly because he's the scout and partly because he's not as tough as the others, if someone gets injured during a fight it's usually him. Things with teeth tend to go after him first.
* CharacterDevelopment : Arguably has the most of all the characters. He goes from Shem-hating Dalish elf to the Left Hand of the Divine and Spymaster of the Inquisition.
* CloakAndDagger : He and Leliana engage in a lot of this during [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6356509/chapters/14562313 Side Trips]]

* CombatPragmatist : Doesn't mind using poison and grenades.
* CultureClash : Has this with the entire party at first.
* CursedWithAwesome : He can sense darkspawn at an incredible range and with great accuracy, but occasionally suffers from sensory overload.
* FishOutOfWater : Is this at first regarding human cities. Leliana helps him get over it.
* ForestRanger : His primary use to the Wardens is as a scout
* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer : Has a bit of this towards Josephine, due to her being Leliana's surrogate little sister.
* JackOfAllTrades : The others may tease him about being the worst of the fighters, but it's worth noting that Brehan has the widest range of skills. He can sing, play instruments, forge documents, pick pockets, pick locks, cook, scout, hunt, and spy. And when he does fight he can pick up any weapon and use it, while the others stick to their specialties.
* KilledOffForReal : Had this happen to him in one of the alternate worlds. [[spoiler: At the hands of one of his oldest friends, no less. It was a MercyKill]]
* LoyalAnimalCompanion : Gets one in the form of a wolf.
* MeaningfulName : His name means raven. He pairs up with the Nightingale.
* NoodleIncident : He and Cassandra have a few. Cassandra threatens him with bodily harm whenever he starts to bring one up.

* OddFriendship : He and Cassandra are clearly good friends. [[spoiler: In one reality, they even get a RelationshipUpgrade]]
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten : Gets taken prisoner by the kids. Alistair comments that he's never going to let Brehan live that down
* OurElvesAreBetter : Has this attitude at the start. While he gets over it, he never stops being proud of his Dalish roots.

* TheSpymaster : Becomes this alongside Leliana.
* TookALevelInKindness : Does this after Saitada gives him some percussive therapy.
* WanderingMinstrel : Has shades of this.
* VitriolicBestBuds : With Jerath, Brosca, and Cassandra.

* AThreesomeIsHot : Has no problem hooking up with Lenore and Zevran. They've been known to invite Isabela along as well.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : Is 100% behind Saitada because the former princess arranged for him to get some help early on and treated him like an equal when they both ended up Wardens.
* BenevolentBoss : His house grows quickly, and they are all loyal to him.
* BewareTheSillyOnes : Doesn't seem to take a lot seriously. Runs an assassin's guild that ends up rivaling the Crows
* BigBrotherInstinct : Is the younger sibling, but has this anyway. Expands it to include various other members of his RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder : Occasionally acts as this to Lenore and Zevran
* DualWielding : When he's not going to GoodOldFisticuffs
* ForbiddenFriendship : His friendship with Saitada would have been this had circumstances been different.
* GoodIsNotSoft : He is an assassin skilled in making poison
* KnightInSourArmor : Is a bit of a cynic, but still thinks the world can be made better

* OppositesAttract : His friendship with Lenore initially looks this way, but while they have very different backgrounds they have very similar personalities.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels : A benevolent version. When told he can start his own house, he starts it on the surface and invites humans and elves to join. He even has his own little mage circle.
* {{Polyamory}} : Has an open relationship with his OneTrueThreesome

* SatisfiedStreetRat : From casteless to paragon
* VitriolicBestBuds : Has a bit of this with Brehan
* WorkingClassHero : The dwarves come to consider him this.

* GlassCannon : A deadly archer, but lightly armored and can't take a hit as well as some of her companions.
* HappilyMarried : She and Alistair end up this in ''Side Trips''.
* HeroesLoveDogs : Is generally accompanied by her mabari
* HotBlooded : She has a temper
* ItsPersonal : Has this toward Arl Howe, and to a lesser extent Loghain.

* LadyAndKnight : Is the Lady to Alistair's knight, though she's a badass in her own right.
* LeaderWannabe : Initially objects to Saitada taking the lead before realizing the other woman is the more experienced military commander. Later is glad she's not the one wrapped in TheChainsOfCommanding

* ProperLady : Her mother wanted her to be one, but it was not meant to be
* SadClown : She and Alistair bond over the fact they both deal with grief by making bad jokes

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething : As Ferelden's queen.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre : Tells Alistair this when he needs to hear it

* ActionDad : Definitely is one, but he and Morrigan are actually the only parents that stay out of things in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]]. [[spoiler: Future him sent a message back to himself via Loghain Junior telling him to stay out of it]]
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority : Keeps ending up in charge of things, even when he doesn't want to. Considering how powerful he ends up, it's probably a good thing he has no desire to actually rule.
* BadassInCharge : Was the Warden Commander before surrendering that title back to Saitada. His BadassCrew still calls him by that title.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : If you are his friend, he will slaughter anyone who messes with you.
* BenevolentBoss : There is a reason his people are insanely loyal to him.

* BrokenBird : Arguably starts as this.
* BrokenPedestal : His mother fought alongside Loghain in the rebellion, [[spoiler: and actually named Jerath for Loghain's father]]. Growing up on those stories meant Loghain was Jerath's childhood hero.
* CombatParkour : Being small and fast, Jerath makes heavy use of this
* DeadpanSnarker : His favorite means of communication
* DemonicPossession : Since he was four years old. [[spoiler: He manages to overcome it when he's around 16, only to end up back in the same situation by 17.]]

* TheDreaded : Upon learning who they are facing, bandits run off a cliff rather than engage him in combat
* DualWielding : Favors a sword and axe combo.
* GoodIsNotSoft : Enough that it's occasionally difficult to remember that he is one of the good guys. He's got no problem solving issues by quietly slaughtering a small band of nobles conspiring against him, then turning around and using their stores to feed the hungry in Amaranthine.
* HappilyMarried : [[spoiler: He and Morrigan are deeply in love and clearly happy together]]
* HatesBeingTouched : There are unpleasant reasons for this. Over the course of the series he slowly gets over it, even becoming tolerant of Dagna's tendency to glomp him.
* HiddenHeartOfGold : Is extremely prone to violence, but has a lot of PetTheDog moments.

* LoveRedeems : He and Morrigan do this for each other. [[spoiler: It's worth noting that Razikale used to be a spirit of love before her FaceHeelTurn]]
* RoaringRampageOfRescue : Starts the series off with one of these, proving that he is not someone to be messed with despite being only fifteen
* RousingSpeech : Not good at these. He prefers to inspire with a quiet DareToBeBadass
* PintSizedPowerhouse : Is small even for an elf. Probably the single best warrior in Thedas even before he takes a few more levels in badass

* TokenEvilTeammate : Borders on this at times
* TookALevelInBadass : [[spoiler: He joins souls with Razikale, making him effectively an archdemon and PhysicalGod . By Apocalypse, he's keeping the Evanuris from escaping by himself.]]
* TheQuietOne : Despite being a badass, Jerath is actually fairly shy and tends not to do much talking until he gets to know people. Then he starts getting snarky.
* TheLancer : Serves as this to Saitada
* SingleTargetSexuality : If it weren't for Morrigan, he'd be asexual. He doesn't even seem to be aware other romantic options exist. Considering they eventually become MindlinkMates it's possible there are underlying reasons for this.
* TheStoic : It's rare for him to display much in the way of emotion
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior : He's fifteen when the series starts [[spoiler: and already a serial killer]]
* YouAreInCommandNow : Takes over as Warden Commander when Saitada steps down. He's the Warden Commander through [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060589/chapters/13893241 Awakening of the Dragon]]
* VigilanteMan : [[spoiler: He was gangraped when he was nine and saw his mother murdered. He started killing off the ones who did it when he was ten, as well as murdering the templars who came for his sister, and others who hurt the elves. And then there is what happened to everyone at the Arl of Denerim's estate]]
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim : Averts this. Also goes back a few times to kill people his friends were too softhearted to kill themselves.

* ArmorAndMagicDontMix : Not always true in Thedas, but Lenore doesn't wear armor

* BadassFamily : She's an Amell, and a cousin to Hawke. Then she marries Brosca.
* BewareTheNiceOnes : Sweet, loving, and will set you on fire if you screw with her friends.
* CovertPervert : Not all that covert.
* DitzyGenius :
* EthicalSlut : Becomes one of these. It breaks her the mind of her first boyfriend, the very shy Cullen
* GirlOnGirlIsHot : Ruya notes that Lenore and Isabela greeting each other may have set a chantry on fire somewhere. Cullen is just reduced to a stuttering wreck by the sight.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee : Is this whenever something strikes her as adorable.
* MagicCauldron : Is good at making potions and poisons. Is not always so good at remembering not to make poisons in the party's only cooking pot.
* NiceGuy : Knew Lily for a day. Breaks her out of Aeonar first chance she gets.
* ObfuscatingStupidity : Pulls this a few times.
* OddFriendship : The sheltered BlueBlood bookworm almost immediately bonds with the carta knee-breaker. She and Brosca are physically affectionate with each other even before their RelationshipUpgrade
* PersonOfMassDestruction : Probably the most dangerous of the Blight Crew, at least until Jerath TookALevelInBadass. She is a mage.
* PowerPerversionPotential : Uses magic during sex.

* TheRedMage : Can heal, but her in universe nickname is Fireball for a reason
* ShelteredAristocrat : Combined with SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining . She's a mage and very well read, but she doesn't know things like how money works due to growing up in the tower.
* ShipperOnDeck : Tends to be this to her friends.
* SquishyWizard : Is this, though gets a little better after Brosca teaches her to throw a punch.
* WeirdnessMagnet : Comes with being an Amell.

* BadassInCharge : She is the Warden Commander, [[spoiler: and after Alistair's death she helps rule Ferelden until his son comes of age.]]
* BigBrotherWorship : Averted. She clearly loved Trian and named her adopted son for him, but she was well aware of his flaws.
* CainAndAbel : On paper, she and Bhelan have reconciled and are allies, working together for the betterment of all dwarves. Off the record, she'd love to bash his face in.

* HeartbrokenBadass : After Ostagar

* TheLancer : Serves as one to Duncan before stepping up after his death

* OddFriendship : She and Sten become close.
* OnlySaneMan : She tries, anyway
* PintSizedPowerhouse : The fact that she's a dwarf doesn't change that she can probably kick your ass.
* PlatonicLifePartners : Has this with Sten, until he becomes Arishok and the events of Trespasser occur
* ProperLady : Was one, but keep in mind it was by dwarven standards
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits : Finds herself leading one after the events of Ostagar, and turns them into a BadassCrew
* RevengeBeforeReason : At least some of her motive for putting Alistair on the throne is wanting to wipe out Loghain's entire family in vengeance for the deaths of Duncan and the other Wardens. Jerath calls her on it.
* TeamMom : Often serves as this to the Blight crew.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny : Half the reason he goes on quests is because they distracted him from something else
* AlmightyJanitor : He helps out the guard a lot. Doesn't stop even after he's a noble.
* TheArchmage : Cassandra is highly impressed by the amount of magic Hawke can sling around when he wants to
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther : It's possible the only reason he helped the Inquisition deal with the Wardens is he was terrified his brother was mixed up in it
* BadassGay : And not the slightest bit angsty about it.
* BadassFamily : In ''Bloodlines'', he and Lenore get to team up
* BattleCouple : He and Fenris are actually called this in story, and the two of them are effectively Kirkwall's entire army.
* BewareTheSillyOnes : Takes almost nothing seriously
* BenevolentBoss : Treats Orana more like a beloved little sister than a servant. She may be his ReplacementGoldfish for Bethany.
* BigBrotherInstinct : Toward his little brother, his friends, Kirkwall in general. Toward pretty much everyone but Aveline, who has this toward him. He treats Aveline as his CoolBigSis.
* BullyingADragon : Good luck figuring out why anyone is stupid enough to pick a fight with him
* CasualDangerDialog : He's so used to getting jumped by bandits it barely even causes a hiccup in the conversation.
* CourtMage : Actually serves as one to Ferelden for a little while, before going back to Kirkwall. Serves as Viscount Varric's.
* DoubleAgent : Makes nice with Meredith to cover for the fact he's smuggling mages out of Kirkwall

* EvenTheGuysWantHim : Which he finds beneficial, since he is himself gay.
* FightMagnet / WeirdnessMagnet : He is half Amell
* HappilyMarried : Eventually this with Fenris. They adopt two kids
* HeterosexualLifePartners : He's not heterosexual, but he and Varric have this dynamic when they aren't being ThoseTwoGuys. And they do flirt with each other sometimes.
* LargeHam : Deliberate, part of his ObfuscatingStupidity
* LastNameBasis : To the point some people are genuinely surprised to learn he has a first name
* LikeBrotherAndSister : He and Aveline definitely have this, with her being the only person in Thedas he acts as the younger sibling toward
* OddFriendship : Actually seems to have one with Meredith before she goes off the deep end. They even share a few laughs. By ''Bloodlines'' it's clear he and Cullen remain good friends.
* OneManArmy : Kirkwall doesn't need an army. It has Hawke.
* PapaWolf : Makes it clear that even though he considers Cullen a friend, if the knight-captain so much as glances in the direction of Hawke's mage daughter, Hawke will end him

* TheTease : Does occasionally flirt with women, especially Isabela.
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever : Anders is in love with Hawke, and it's clear that Anders still has feeling for him long after their friendship has been severed.
* WeHelpTheHelpless : Could have this on his business card
* WeUsedToBeFriends : Stated the only reason he hasn't obliterated Sebastian is Sebastian used to be one of his TrueCompanions. However, the same doesn't hold true of Anders and Hawke makes it clear that if Anders is in his vicinity Hawke is going to respond with hostility.

* TheAce : Was this at the Circle
* {{Adorkable}} : When romancing Cullen
* AllLovingHero : Hands out hugs

* BadassBookworm : Has a tendency to get a little geeky with Dorian and Solas when uncovering some new magic or historical find
* BadassFamily : Is a Trevelyan. With an Amell grandmother.
* BarrierMaiden : Solas actually states that she's better at barriers than he is, and in fights she expends a lot of her magic keeping her more martial companions safe.

* BewareTheNiceOnes : Is an incredibly nice person, but it's best to remember she is the Inquisitor for a reason
* TheChosenOne : Believes she is this
* EveryonesBabySister : Iron Bull and a few others seem to act this way. Her actual older brothers are both very protective of her.
* FrontlineGeneral : Despite being a mage, she's out on the front lines in the thick of things. It's clear this is one of the main reasons her soldiers respect and adore her.
* HopeBringer : Just by the example she sets she does a lot of good for healing the rift between templars and mages. Her own romance with Cullen helps, as does the number of templar family members she has and the fact that she herself wanted to be a templar before her powers manifested.
* TheIngenue : Was a virgin before getting together with Cullen
* LikeBrotherAndSister : Flat out tells Dorian he's a brother to her. Her children also later address most members of her inner circle as 'Aunt' or 'Uncle', with Gavren referring to Cassandra as 'Aunt Cassie'.

* MagicKnight : Wields a magic sword and wears armor. It's suggested she inspires a lot of mages toward this.
* MamaBear : Toward her friends and her soldiers, and eventually toward her children
* PregnantBadass : Was this through the events of trespasser
* AFatherToHisMen : She and Cullen can be very parental toward their soldiers.
* ShipperOnDeck : Almost the entire Inquisition is this to her and Cullen. When they kiss at the end, the soldiers start cheering.

* WeirdnessMagnet : After she lets slip to Jerath's Wardens that she's part Amell, they seriously consider jumping off a moving elevator platform because it's 'probably safer than going into the Deep Roads with an Amell Mage'.
* YoungestChildWins : She's the youngest of three

* {{Adorkable}} : Occasionally around Sera, to the befuddlement of everyone else who knows her

* AnAxeToGrind : In more ways than one
* BadassGay : Really likes female elves. Especially ones named Sera.
* BigBrotherInstinct : Was Kathan's big sister. Later extends this to a few others.
* TheBigGuy : The most physically powerful of the Inquisitors
* DoesNotLikeMagic : The only mage she can tolerate is the pro-circle Vivienne
* GoodIsNotNice : Kas is not a nice person. Even people who don't like her acknowledge she is a good one.
* GoodOldFisticuffs : Punches a few people in the face over the course of the story. Solas, at least, actively goaded her into it
* HairTriggerTemper : Has one that causes her to lash out and engage in some occasional DisproportionateRetribution
* HeartBrokenBadass : A lot of her temper issues come from the fact she's grieving the death of her little brother. She gets a lot nicer after she avenges him.
* HiddenDepths : Reading Kathan's story shows a few of hers. She regularly went hungry to keep her little brother fed, and half her mercenary band was made up of slaves she freed. Plus she made damn sure her GeniusBruiser little brother got an education
* KnightTemplar : Becomes a templar
* KnightInSourArmor :
* TheFriendNobodyLikes : Aside from Sera, it's hard to find anyone who actually likes Kas.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Despite everything, she generally manages to be this
* TookALevelInKindness : Apologizes to Dorian for how she treated him.

* AmazonChaser : Is this to Cassandra
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny : Does this a lot.
* BattleCouple : Forms one with Cassandra
* BewareTheNiceOnes : One of the nicest people in Thedas, right up until you cross the line. Is the only person in the entire series to make Jerath back down.
* BewareTheSillyOnes : Is a gigantic dork. Threatened Mythal, Razikale, and Fen'Harel to their faces and all three believed him.
* CulturedBadass : Manages to be this despite being a Qunari mercenary
* HumbleHero : Denies being the Herald of Andraste at every possible opportunity
* EvenTheGuysWantHim : Dorian eats the eye candy. Kathan doesn't mind, and will even flex for him.
* FriendtoAllChildren : Regularly spends time playing with the kids living at Haven and Skyhold and can often be seen carrying one about on his shoulders.
* ForgottenFallenFriend : Averted. He's nowhere near as over the deaths of Kas and Quiyala as he acts, as Solas learns the hard way.
* GeniusBruiser : Kas knew he liked to read, so would grab books as loot for him. When she accidentally grabbed books in other languages, Kathan taught himself so he could read them anyway.
* GuileHero : Hides being the smartest guy in the entire series behind a goofy dork persona, though admits he really is a goofy dork.
* GrandRomanticGesture : Gives Cassandra several of these.
* {{Keet}} : Despite being a qunari, he's young enough to still have a few shades of this
* KnifeNut : Carries a couple dozen and is prone to picking up any he finds.
* LikesOlderWomen : Cassandra is nearly twice his age
* NayTheist : Is one, despite hooking up with Cassandra and [[spoiler: being best friends with the Dread Wolf]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity : His favorite weapon, and it remains effective even after the people around him catch on.

* OppositesAttract : On the surface his relationship with Cassandra appears to be this. Once you uncover the HiddenDepths to both though it's clear they are actually a lot alike.

* RealityWarper : Turns out Solas was a better teacher than Solas thought
* RefugeInAudacity : Combined with {{Troll}}. Sometimes he's being crazy, and sometimes he's just screwing with people.
* ShipperOnDeck : Is this for Iron Bull and Dorian
* SmartPeoplePlayChess : Regularly beats Solas at the game.
* UnwantedFalseFaith : Really doesn't like being a messiah figure
* XanatosSpeedChess : All the Inquisitors are this. Kathan outplays Solas.
* WarriorTherapist : Is one to Solas, especially after Solas comes clean.

* AbusiveParents : Combined with ParentalAbandonment : His already abusive father threw him out onto the street and his mother didn't stop it. Also combined with ParentalNeglect : [[spoiler: Margot cared for and mentored him, but she did not stop her husband from sexually abusing him.]] It's no wonder the guy has some issues.

* AmbiguousDisorder : Seems to have a form of multiple personality disorder due to his background. He weaponizes it.
* ArcherArchetype : Very good with a bow, as it is the form of combat that provides the least opportunity for him to get hurt
* TheAtoner : Feels being Inquisitor is Andraste offering him the opportunity to be this. He rises to the occasion.

* BecomingTheMask : Starts out just playing along. Eventually comes to believe Andraste really did choose him.

* BoxedCrook : Actually isn't this to the Inquisition, since they don't know he is a crook. However, the events of the temple of Sacred Ashes actually freed him from this situation
* BrokenBird : Starts as one
* TheCharmer : As befits a professional con artist
* ConMan : Possibly the best one in Thedas.
* ConsummateLiar : Even after Leliana knows he's this, she still can't nail him down.

* DirtyCoward : Thinks of himself as one. Eventually gets over it when it's pointed out to him how many genuinely heroic and selfless actions he's performed.
* EvilMatriarch : Though he himself can't see it, it seems he was mentored by one.

* GuileHero :
* HalfHumanHybrid : May be half-elven, and unlike how most in Thedas would react he'd be genuinely happy to learn this was true.
* HeroicSeductress : Has no problem using sex to sell a con and is shown to be very good at the art of seduction. He was once a whore. [[spoiler: Dorian has a moment of mood whiplash after enjoying just how good Matril is in bed when he realized just how Matril acquired those skills]]
* LongLostRelative : [[spoiler: If he took back his real identity, he'd be one for Sebastian]]
* LovableRogue : An ever so slightly reformed version. He's at his most useful to the Inquisition when he starts using these skills on their behalf
* ManchurianAgent : Becomes practically suicidal when he realizes he is this for Mythal
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe : His tearjerker backstory has its origins in this. His mother had an affair with an elven merchant around the time of his conception, and he unfortunately takes after his mother in appearance rather than either of his prospective fathers.
* RapeAsBackstory : There are reasons the man is slightly messed up
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge : Went on one that may have lead to the Orlesian Civil War.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil : [[spoiler: Having once been a SexSlave ]] Matril firmly believes this, which is one of the reasons Solas develops considerable respect for his fellow trickster.
* SpottingTheThread : Did this with Solas, but unlike Kathan Matril drew the wrong conclusion. He assumes that Solas is a sentinel of some kind.
* StockholmSyndrome : [[spoiler: His devotion to Margot has definite overtones of this. It's not lost on Dorian.]]

* TheTrickster : Is one, and recognizes Solas as one. It provides a different dynamic to their friendship

* VagueAge : Cultivates this

* BadassNormal : It was clear Sulana was a badass long before she got a mark on her hand
* BattleCouple : She and Iron Bull are an army unto themselves
* BloodKnight : This sweet goofy girl is a reaver, and don't you forget it.
* CoveredWithScars : Regularly compares hers to Iron Bulls.
* CuteBruiser : Squees and is adorable. Will cut you in half if you threaten innocents around her
* DeclarationOfProtection : Gives one to most of her friends
* TheHero : Has the fewest morally questionable actions of any of the Inquisitors
* FamilyOfChoice : The Inquistion clearly becomes hers. When she realizes Solas is leaving the Inquisition, she tells him in elvish that wherever she is he can call that place his home.
* ForgottenFallenFriend : Averted. She mentions her friends from time to time, noting when they encounter something Quiyala or Vathran would have liked.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage : She and Iron Bull have this going on, gleefully comparing kills after various battles
* KindheartedSimpleton : She's not the brightest, but she may be the most moral and kindness of the Inquisitors outside of Ruya.

* PluckyGirl : She's quite obviously having the time of her life saving the world
* ObliviousGuiltSlinging : Sends a lot of this Solas's way.
* ProdigalHero : Despite being one of the biggest heroes the Dalish have ever had, she bonds with Solas over the fact that she is now a StrangerInAFamiliarLand, unable to go home again.
* SafeSaneAndConsensual : Her and Bull
* TerrorHero : Became a Reaver because there are people out there that like to pick on those smaller than themselves. She wants to be their worst nightmare.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre : Tells a few people this. What makes it more heartwarming is that she means every word.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain : Notes that while she'll always consider herself Dalish, she doesn't fit with her people anymore and can't go back to her clan.

* ArmsDealer : Weapons, artifacts, lyrium, slaves, he smuggled pretty much everything
* BadBoss : Pretends otherwise, but is perfectly willing to kill his subordinates himself if he feels like it
* CulturedBadass : Pretends to be this
* GodhoodSeeker : His reaction to learning what Corypheus intends is to try to figure out how he could beat Corypheus to the punch
* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure : When Cullen questions some of Tan's actions, Tan orders Cullen to flog Eben personally. [[spoiler: Fortunately for Eben, Cullen takes a third option]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk : Pretty much no redeeming features
* KickTheDog : Practically his Hat
* LaResistance : Inspires one to rise up against him

* SafeSaneAndConsensual : Averts this.
* TheSociopath : Commits rape and murder. Once murdered a woman and fed her to her siblings.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm : Making him the Inquisitor was not the smartest thing Cassandra and Leliana ever did
* VillainWithGoodPublicity : He's very sweet to Josephine because she ensures he is this

* DeadpanSnarker : Dips into this from time to time when she observes just how ridiculous a situation is. She and Solas indulge in some light hearted SnarkToSnarkCombat

* TheLeader : She actually steps up to lead sooner than a lot of the other Inquisitors, taking charge of the war table and giving orders to Cullen, Leliana, and Josephine even before going after the mages.
* TeamMom : Having been trained as a keeper, she falls naturally into this role.
* WoundedGazelleGambit : Being a young, innocent, frail looking elven maiden, she has no problem using these to manipulate people. She tears up when someone balks at letting her use her magic to heal them, thus gaining their cooperation. Then she winks at Solas when he catches her in the act.

* GoodIsNotSoft : Says this trope to himself, but how 'good' he is actually is remains questionable.
* KickTheDog : Does this a few times, though most are unintentional
* NiceJobBreakingItHero : Takes what Solas screwed up and manages to make it even worse.
* NotSoDifferent : He's willing to sacrifice a lot to improve the lives of elves, making him something of a foil to Solas despite the fact the two men clearly can't stand each other.
* SlaveToPR : Sacrifices Hawke in the Fade because he's considered Hawke's charisma will draw the mages away from the Inquisition.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark : Nowhere near the hero he should be

* BadassFamily : Common to most of the kids
* BadassCrew : The descendants of the other badass crews form one of their own.
* CallToAdventure : None of them hesitate to answer, much to the dismay of their parents (And Kels, whom they drag along)

* BewareTheNiceOnes : Is a very nice young man, unless you hurt his friends.
* BigDamnHeroes : Does this a couple times.
* BroughtDownToBadass : Is a physical god, but gets one of these during the [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]] story to put him in line with the others. He's still tough.
* BullyingADragon : He's the dragon.
* CatchPhrase : When it's time to get dangerous, Kieran borrows his father's.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} : It's hinted Kieran doesn't experience reality the same way everyone else does. When asked to describe a character, he starts describing their leitmotif, and he speaks in musical metaphors a lot.
* DemonicPossession : Though Urthemiel is a lot nicer than he was when he, you know, started a blight
* TheGoodChancellor : Rather than take charge, he tends to act as this. First to Salla, and then when the timeline changes to Duncan.
* HeelFaceTurn : Urthemiel was the archdemon of the last blight in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. By [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]] he's one of Ferelden's greatest allies.
* FamilyOfChoice : Despite no blood relation between them, he considers Leandra and Loghain II to be his cousins due to their parents' friendship with his father.

* InterspeciesRomance : Is the product of one. And then some.
* KilledOffForReal : [[spoiler: In Vathran's world, he was this. His father does not take it well]]
* MagicKnight : His staff actually comes apart to form a sword and axe combo, mirroring the weapons his father favors.
* MindWipe : Urthemiel gave himself one to hide the orb, when he realized he was falling
* MuggingTheMonster : He finds the first time someone tries to rob him exciting
* TheMuse : What Urthemiel used to be, before becoming a FallenAngel . Becomes this again.
* NoFourthWall : It doesn't seem to exist for him, which may be why he is never a POV character. He even accuses the author of railroading the party, and comes by some of his information by having read the graphic novels
* OfficialCouple : In Tan's world, he and Salla got to be childhood sweethearts as he grew up with her, Duncan, Jerath, and Caleb. In Vathran's world, Turana clearly is of the opinion she and he are going to be a couple and it's quite likely she'd have been right had her father not gotten stupid.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Gaining a human side has turned Urthemiel into this
* StatusBuff : Is a walking one for his allies even after being BroughtDownToBadass . When you consider the BadassCrew he runs with it's arguably a more powerful trick than his ability to turn into a dragon, especially when he uses it on Gavren. He is the Muse, after all.
* {{Troll}} : Urthemiel does this a lot. He hasn't forgotten the Wardens killing him atop Fort Drakon, though he seems to accept they did what they had to do
* WhatIfGodWasOneOfUs : The kids take the fact there is a physical god walking around with them pretty well, treating Urthemiel himself as 'just one of the guys'. It might be why Urthemiel likes them and is willing to work with them.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking : Starts out merely a healer, but after they put her in charge she grows into an ActionGirl
* CombatMedic : Serves as this for the party
* DaddysGirl : Oddly enough this for Fenris rather than for Hawke.
* DivineDate : She's with Kieran, but at one point it's clearly Urthemiel kissing her.
* EmpathicHealer : Anders' best student
* FirstKiss : Gives this to Kieran and by extension Urthemiel
* FishOutOfWater : Starts as one when she finds herself running a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, but by the time they turn into a BadassCrew she's grown into the role of leader enough that she doesn't hesitate a moment to order Urthemiel to mind his goddamn manners and behave himself. And he listens.
* TheLeader : Is this to the second generation, abet with some initial reluctance.
* MayflyDecemberRomance : This to Urthemiel, though she's technically older than Kieran.
* NotSoDifferent : Various people point out to Hawke that she is this to him
* PimpedOutDress : Wears one in Tevinter. Hates it
* PlainJane : Laments being one, especially next to her drop dead gorgeous best friend Agatha and has a couple IJustWantToBeBeautiful moments. Fortunately for her, Kieran thinks TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside.
* RippleEffectProofMemory : Either Kieran or Urthemiel gave her this. She's the only one other than Kieran himself that remembers the events of ''Bloodlines'' after they successfully hit the reset button. [[spoiler: Except that [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]] reveals those that returned to their own time stream also remember]]
* UptownGirl : Wasn't born one, but being adopted into the Hawke family and Hawke's return to Kirkwall has made her this to the point someone is courting her purely for her political position.

* ActionGirlfriend : Has one. Tends to rely on her to do the fighting despite being more powerful, since he's more of a tactical nuke kind of powerful
* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength : With good reason.
* {{Ambadassador}} : Serves as one for the Inquisition
* TheApprentice : To the Dread Wolf himself. He has justifiable concerns about why Solas has taken an interest in him, but doesn't turn away the tutelage because he hopes to learn something he can use against Solas. [[spoiler: Thanks to the time shift, he does, because Solas hasn't yet taken precautions against the skills he's taught Gavren]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople : He keeps a very tight lid on his magic because he's afraid of just how much damage he can cause if he losses control
* BerserkButton : Don't hurt Leandra. [[spoiler: Leandra takes a non-fatal arrow. Gavren turns the archer and the archer's comrades into PinkMist before anyone else can draw a weapon]]

* PhysicalGod : It's hinted he has the potential to become this.
* WizardDuel : Has one with Solas. [[spoiler: Gavren wins]]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority : Actually averts somewhat in his own timeline. While he's a skilled archer by anyone's standards, he's otherwise dependent on his bodyguards in melee.
* BadassInCharge : He's still a badass and still leads from the front
* BadassNormal : Questionable. He's definitely a badass and doesn't appear to have significant powers, however he is the child of two Gray Wardens, magic was used to ensure his birth, and it's revealed later that he is completely immune to the Blight [[spoiler: like his grandmother Fiona]]
* BloodBrothers : Considers himself this with Jerath
* GenerationXerox : Looks like his father. Acts like his mother. He notes that his father's old friends occasionally call him by his father's name, and considers it a compliment.

* HotBlooded : He gets it from his mother

* YouAreInCommandNow : Officially became king on his eighteenth birthday.
* WarriorPrince : One of these in the past

* TheBard : Has natural musical talent, which is why Orana adopts him in the first place. [[spoiler: In the future timeline, he's the seneshal of Kirkwall and more or less stated to be the heir of house Tethras as well. He dies saving Gavren from a demon]]

* CityMouse : Complains a lot about the amount of walking involved in adventuring.
* GuileHero : Uncle Varric trained him well.

* HeroicSacrifice : Realizing two separate people committed these to save his life serves as a major wake up call for him

* NotBloodSiblings : He and Salla aren't blood related at all. You'd almost never know it
* MassiveNumberedSiblings : Not related by blood, but still considers the other children rescued by Evelina to be part of his extended family. When he needs an alias, he quickly claims to be Kels' brother.

* TalkingYourWayOut : And if it doesn't work, he'll talk you into letting him cook and then drug you.

* UtilityPartyMember : In a fight he has to be protected, but when they need a distraction or to get out of a situation without fighting, he's their guy.
* WhatTheHellHero : Gives one to Loghain

* ChildhoodFriends : She and Salla met just after the events of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champion]] and have been best friends ever since. Though there is no biological relation they clearly consider each other cousins.
* ClassyCatburglar : Is introduced pulling a heist, though it's subverted a little when it becomes apparent she was actually just after Lenore's candy stash. Which happens often enough that Lenore has started taking the precaution of warding it.
* CombatParkour : Utilizes some, being able to run across the rooftops and keep pace with the sentinels
* FamilyOfChoice : Isn't biologically related to any of her family
* FemmeFatale : Is noted to play one at times after she grows into her roll as spymaster, and is noted to be very beautiful

* HappilyAdopted : By Zevran, Brosca, and Lenore, after her mother was turned tranquil and vanished during the mage rebellion.
* PrecociousCrush : The younger version of Jerath Gilmore turns rather {{adorkable}} when she's around. She's clearly fond of him though, and after his PlotRelevantAgeUp falls hard.

* TheSpymaster : Grows into one.

* BigBrotherInstinct : Though they aren't actually related, he's had this to Duncan for his entire life, having started protecting Duncan when Duncan was born and Jerath was five.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath : And the poor guy remembers every moment
* FieryRedhead : Averted. He's got red hair, but he's probably the most level of the next generation to the point of being the OnlySaneMan
* FourStarBadass : His title is general, and he's officially the leader of Ferelden's entire military.
* InterspeciesRomance : Is the product of one. Later has his own

* MyMasterRightOrWrong : Though no one questions his loyalty to Duncan, he is not this. He'll obey Duncan, but that doesn't change that he will call him out. Or punch him in the face, if the need arises.

* NamesTheSame : Was named after Kieran's father. Is deeply honored when Kieran says that he understands why
* ObliviousToLove : Isn't this. He's pretending not to notice Agatha's attraction to him due to the situation and not wanting to break her heart.
* PrecociousCrush : Had one on Agatha when he was eight years younger than her. Now he's eight years older

* RuggedScar : Earned protecting Duncan
* SacrificialLion : [[spoiler: Shared with Dorian. Their deaths mean play time is over and the kids are about to get dangerous]]
* ShooTheDog : Tries to do this with Agatha and fails.
* TakingTheBullet : Has done this for Duncan in the past. [[spoiler: does it again, leading to his death]]

* CallBack : If you played [[spoiler: ''Awakenings'', it's not hard to figure out who Loghain's real father is prior to the in story reveal]]
* TheCharmer : Will flirt with pretty much anyone, but avoids being TheCasanova by noting that he does have rules he plays by. He flat out rejects the suggestion that he use the fact he's sleeping with Alai to manipulate her.
* ChivalrousPervert : Lenore can't figure out how he could possibly be related to his namesake.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass : Is goofy, snarky, and content to let Leandra and Jerath play the heavies, but when the blades come out Loghain will remind you he is one of the Dragonsworn
* DemonicPossession : A benevolent version
* DoubleEntendre : Can turn anything into this
* GlowingEyes : Has these when he has to call upon his companion
* GuileHero : Dips into this from time to time
* HappilyMarried : Oddly enough, he and Wynne are this
* HeroicBastard : Is the son of the still unmarried Anora [[spoiler: and Anders]]
* ImplacableMan : His spirit companion lets him be one. Guy can keep going even after suffering massive amounts of damage and he can shrug off some of the magic thrown at him.
* LikeFatherLikeSon : Enough that if you've actually played the games, you can figure out who his actual father is quickly
* MysticalPregnancy : Is the result of one, as Anora was barren until either Razikale or Mythal intervened a little. It's heavily implied that it was Razikale, meaning on some level Loghain and Kieran are siblings.

* TheSnarkKnight : There really isn't anyone Loghain won't poke fun at

* AmazonianBeauty : Gavren clearly thinks so
* BadassFamily : She's a Hawke, and a Hawke by blood no less.

* {{BFS}} : Much like her father, she wields one
* TheBigGuy : She's not as skilled as Jerath Gilmore, but packs a bigger punch than he does. She bisects one of her opponents vertically.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance : First met when they were about 4 years old.
* ChildhoodMarriagePromise : She was about 6 or so when she decided she was going to marry Gavren. He pretty much just accepted it as his fate, though it's clear they genuinely love each other.
* DeclarationOfProtection : Gave one to Gavren
* InterspeciesRomance : Is the product of one, being she's the child of Carver and Merrill
* LadyAndKnight : She and Gavren are a gender inverted version.
* LadyOfWar :
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy : Her relationship with Gavren has shades of this
* OverTheShoulderCarry : After observing Jerath Gilmore sweeping Agatha up into his arms in a BridalCarry, she tries to get Gavren to do the same to her. He does this instead, to her frustration. Though given she's an AmazonianBeauty it is possible it's the only way Gavren could carry her off. She's able to do an EffortlessAmazonianLift on him, after all.
* ShipperOnDeck : Very eager to get Kieran and Salla together again in the alternate timeline. Not at all subtle about it
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend : To Gavren
* WomenAreDelicate : Averted. She chases qunari down, waving a massive two-handed sword, to explain to them just how wrong they are

* ActionSurvivor : Starts as one back in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champions]], and grows into a BadassNormal
* AscendedExtra : Is one in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]]
* BadassBureaucrat : His job with the Inquisition is Cullen's personal runner and attache. Gavren notes that on one occasion Kels was more upset that he got an assassin's blood on a report after killing them than he was over the fact he got attacked be assassins.

* BadassNormal : In Vathran's world, he's willing to face down the Inquisitor and no few templars to give Turana and Kieran time to flee. [[spoiler: It's clear failing damn near broke him]]
* BigBrotherInstinct : Has one toward Gavren. And in Vathran's world, he develops it toward Turana and Kieran providing most of that story's heartwarming moments. In Tan's world it's also clear he has it toward Eben and Minaeve.
* DoubleAgent : Despite having been kidnapped, he isn't this
* KidnappedByTheCall : Repeatedly reminds the others that they kidnapped him. He goes along willingly anyway, to protect Gavren.
* KilledOffForReal : [[spoiler: Is this in Vathran's world, at the hands of none other than poor Cullen]]
* NumberTwo : Goes from Cullen's preferred runner to this between ''Inquisition'' and ''Apocalypse''. Though he's more a younger version of Cullen than a foil. By ''Bloodlines'' it's clear Cullen full on considers him a little brother and Gavren calls him Uncle Kels.
* MagicalGirlfriend : In ''Inquisition'' he's crushing hard on Minaeve. In ''Bloodlines'' they are together, and Gavren notes that they are married with two kids in his timeline
* MyGreatestFailure : He's clearly still harboring some guilt over the fate of Evelina in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. [[spoiler: In [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6459202/chapters/14782822 What's the Worst that Could Happen]] failing to protect Kieran causes him to break down to the point he's throwing punches at Cullen]]
* OnlySaneMan : Is the one pointing out just how crazy what the kids are doing is, but his sanity is questionable since he goes along anyway.

* BoringButPractical : Handles these tasks for the party
* DoubleAgent : Leaves messages behind so the others can trail the kids
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain : At one point finds himself taking orders from a squirrel.
* NonActionGuy : He's not bad with his weapons and will go into battle alongside his friends, but he's clearly not an accomplished warrior and would really prefer it if he had to do less fighting for his life.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame : Continually reminds Caleb this isn't true
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething : Isn't yet, but will someday be king of Kal'Hirol.
* SurroundedByIdiots : Clearly feels this way at various points of ''Bloodlines''

* AmazonChaser : In Kathan's reality, his reaction to meeting Cassandra is to ask if she's single.
* BadassFamily : [[spoiler: He's Solas' younger half-brother]]
* BadassTeacher : Becomes one of these when Duncan puts him in charge of Ferelden's university
* BrokenPedestal : Solas may be this to him. [[spoiler: In Kathan's reality it becomes apparent he once adored his big brother, and even in this canon reality he states that Solas was once a hero]]
* BystanderSyndrome : [[spoiler: In ''Not The Herald'' it's revealed he is the one that hid the orb away, meaning Tisallan could have changed a lot about history if he'd chosen to do so.]] When he finally does choose to get involved, he's clearly a powerhouse.

* CulturedWarrior : In addition to being an excellent fighter, he's also a talented musician and poet. Of course, he is a few thousand years old. He's had time to branch out.
* DeadpanSnarker : Enough that it's possible he's also an ancestor of Jerath Tabris
* DefectorFromDecadence : He makes it clear he has no interest in returning to the elves 'glory days'. He was one of the rebels before he joined the sentinels, and doesn't join the sentinels that went to Solas.

* DualWielding : Magic swords
* EasilyForgiven : [[spoiler: Despite being Solas's brother, he is not one of the sentinels that goes to join him.]]
* HeartbrokenBadass : His wife has been dead for over two thousand years. It's clear he still loves her.
* TheLancer : It's hinted he may have once been this to Solas. [[spoiler: Turns out he was the one who retrieved the orb and put it in Mythal's temple]]
* NotSoAboveItAll : He's pretty stoic and deadpan, but it's clear he does have a rather mischievous sense of humor.
* NoBadassToHisValet : In ''Not the Herald'', he punches Solas in the face. Unlike others who have done this, Tisallan knew exactly who Solas was when he took the swing.
* MagicKnight : Original flavor, no less
* OldMaster : They don't get much older. He's nearly to the other sentinels what the sentinels are to the Dalish.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring : Most of them by millenia, the last one very recently. The kids seem to become ReplacementGoldfish for him
* PapaWolf : More like Grandpa, but if you mess with the kids he will end you.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner : Has a good one. Loghain promptly steals it.

* RevengeBeforeReason : Subverts. Does not go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge because, as he points out, once you start one its hard to know when to stop.
* TricksterMentor : Has a few shades of this [[spoiler: turns out to be a family trait]]
* ZenSurvivor : Combined with StoicWoobie . This is a man who has lost everything, and is still fighting the good fight.

* ActionGirl : Has been one for centuries

* MagicKnight : Heavy on the knight
* MayDecemberRomance : She and Loghain shared a mutual attraction, and a 'what the hell' type of moment turned into a relationship.
* UndyingLoyalty : Once she and her fellow sentinels agree to protect the kids, they have this
