[[folder: Razikale]]

Razikale is the Tevinter Dragon of Mystery. Worshiped by the Tevinter Imperium of old, he, like his brothers, is an enormous draconic figure of immense power. He has yet to be corrupted by darkspawn. Following the defeat of Urthemiel in the Fifth Blight, he appears to be the next Old God in line to be transformed into an Archdemon. In Dragon Age Inquisition, he is raised and brought into the Elder One's service as an Archdemon.

* TheDragon: To the Elder One
** DemotedToDragon: An Archdemon is supposed to be the BigBad for a blight, and was an Old God in his past life. Working under the Elder One is a step down for him.

!!The Elder One

->''"Bow before your new God, and be spared.''"

A mysterious being whom the Venatori serve. [[spoiler:His true identity is Corypheus, the ancient magister-turned-primal-darkspawn from ''Legacy''. His desire is to merge the Fade with the mortal world, effectively transforming him into a god, and conveniently allowing him to create new worshipers to his glory since that would result in the death of all sapient life.]]
----
* AGodAmI: In the "Enemy of Thedas" trailer, he boasts that he's the new God of Thedas. His Venatori followers appear to worship him as one.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Sylvia Feketekuty describes him as ambitious.
* TheBadGuyWins: Only in the worst ending, thankfully. [[spoiler:[[EarnYourBadEnding Should you alienate everyone and avoid doing any sidequests]], Corypheus will successfully merge the Fade and Thedas, permanently corrupting the former into [[{{Hell}} his personal paradise]] and killing most-to-all life in the latter. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Great going, jackass]].]]
* DevilButNoGod: The Elder One claims there's no BigGood spirit like the Maker, leaving nothing to save Thedas from him and his legions of demons. [[spoiler:Deconstructed, in that he was ''heartbroken'' by the realization that is former god in Dumat actually died, and he saw no hint of the Maker in the Black City. His core motive, along with power, is to serve as the new, true God (which the Inquisitor can call out as incredibly selfish and insane).]]
* EvilBrit: His British accent only serves to make him even more intimidating. [[spoiler:Much like most Teveinter.]]
* EvilLaugh: The "Enemy of Thedas" trailer ends with him uttering a rather terrifying sounding chuckle.
* EvilSorcerer: Seems to be an expert at bending the Fade to his will. [[spoiler:A continuation of his old life, no doubt.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: He speaks with a deep British accent.
* FaithHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Justified. He was never a good guy, so losing his faith in the Old Gods just shunted him over to another form of evil. It's also deconstructed, in that he genuinely believes that his bid for his own godhood is actually a good thing, since he can't imagine why other people would tolerate living in a godless world-in effect, his actual worldview hasn't changed all that much.]]
* KneelBeforeZod: He commands all of Thedas to kneel before him.
* OmnicidalManiac: Alexius believes that the Elder One intends to destroy Thedas.
* WhereIsYourXNow:
-->'''Elder One:''' Tell me, where is your Maker now? Call him. Call down his wrath upon me. You cannot, for he does not exist!
* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler:Plans to use the Fade's tendency towards this to become a god in both worlds.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Alexius]]

!!Alexius

->''"The Elder One comes. For me, for you. For us all."''

Alexius is a Tevinter magister, and now the leader of the Venatori. He was once Dorian's mentor.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:After his future self's death, Dorian laments how far his master had fallen.]]
* DeathSeeker: Dorian suspects that [[spoiler: future!]] Alexius wanted to die so he could be reunited with Felix.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Obviously cared for his son Felix a great deal, given [[spoiler: he kept him a walking corpse rather than see him completely dead. He was also willing to give the Inquisition anything they wanted if it meant his son would go unharmed.]]
* EvilMentor: He tutored Dorian before he defected from the Imperium.
* FlunkyBoss: At a couple of points in his boss fight, he opens Fade Rifts to summon demons to support him.
* LightIsNotGood: Dresses in light colors.
* ManInWhite: Dresses in white, much like Dorian.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He mentions trying to undo his misdeeds.
* {{Necromantic}}: [[spoiler: His main goal is keeping his son alive. In the BadFuture, we see how far he's willing to go.]]
* TimeMaster: He is able to manipulate time, but the process is neither finely-tuned nor safe.
-->'''Dorian:''' I don't even want to think about what this will do to the fabric of the world. We didn't "travel" through time so much as punch a hole through it and toss it into the privy.
