* ExtremeDoormat: [[spoiler: If elected King, Harrowmont proves to be a horribly weak ruler who does everything in his power to [[SlaveToPR appease the Nobles,]] regardless of how broken their system is. This is particularly obvious if the Anvil of the Void is taken intact; he completely fails to control Branka's relentless thirst for subjects to utilize in the golemization process, even sparking a war with Ferelden when trying to cut her off from dwarf subjects leads to raids on the surface that continue even ''after'' Ferelden beats them.]]

Once the player destroys it for him, he thanks them and throws himself into the magma below.]]

*NiceJobFixingItVillain: Depending on who the player chooses to be King, he can become the ArcVillain of the Orzammar storyline. Bhelen strongly believes that a King of Orzammar must be ruthless and pragmatic, [[JerkassHasAPoint which considering its morally grey and dangerous political climate among the nobility,]] he's not without merit. However, his ruthlessness backfired on him [[spoiler: after he either murders Trian and frames the Dwarf Noble PC for it or outright cons the Dwarf Noble into killing Trian.]] This tragically leads to his father, King Endrin, dying of grief and naming Pyral Harrowmont as his heir. By the time the Orzammar storyline begins, Bhelen has lost support due to the rumors that he poisoned his own father and [[spoiler: rightfully]] deducing that [[spoiler: he murdered both of his brothers so he could have the throne.]] If not for the intervention of the Gray Warden (who may also be his sibling), Bhelen's actions would've plunged his homeland into civil war.
Added DiffLines:
* FatalFlaw: Her obsession with the Anvil of the Void. [[spoiler: Though Branka has some valid points about the use of golems and using it to reclaim lost Dwarven territory, she has allowed what was presumably an honest expedition to help her people to become an unhealthy, all-consuming obsession. [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Branka's obsession drove her insane to the point where she actively allowed her own house to be taken by the darkspawn, knowing the horrible atrocities they'd suffer, especially the women being transformed into broodmoothers.]] [[IDidWhatIHadToDo When confronted on this, her reasons are that broodmothers can provide an endless supply of darkspawn to overwhelm Caridin's traps and allow her to receive the Anvil.]] Even if she gets it, her epilogues end with her either kidnapping people from the surface which starts a war between Ferelden and Orzammar or being besieged by the dwarves of Orzammar.

* SocialClimber: According to Rica at least, this is his chief motivation. He has plenty of money, enough to singlehandedly control Orzammar's underworld and pay off any guardsmen who may give him trouble, but in Orzammar's rigidly stratified society, he'll never be anything more than a merchant regardless of his wealth. He funds numerous noble hunters, including Rica, in the hope that ''one'' of them will father a noble son and thus finally bring him the noble caste he desperately craves.
-->'''Rica:''' As far as the nobles are concerned, he still reeks of Dust Town. He's got money now, but you can't buy caste, you know?
