Many fans who read the book also came to view almost everyone in Halamshiral in a far more negative light, given the sheer extent of the cruelty elves put up with on a daily basis from the human nobles.

what I meant to say (and never got around to) is that Trespasser does not confirm he's Deader Than Dead any more than the actual book, as Cole is referring to Felassan's death in the Fade. If (as claimed on the character page) Word Of God is that he could be brought back in future installments because he died in the Fade specifically, I don't see how simply reiterating the point changes things.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Felassan is about the most universally beloved character in the book (some consider the only ''[[TooBleakStoppedCaring good]]'' part of the book) due to his wit, humor, {{trickster mentor}} tendencies to Briala, MysteriousPast, and many interesting tidbits and insights into Elvhen history and lore. To the point that a lot of readers were hoping he would become a BreakoutCharacter. [[spoiler:He dies at the end of the book.]] ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition Trespasser]]'' confirms [[spoiler:he's DeaderThanDead]].

** Michel de Chevin is a slightly more straightforward case, as while he is framed as a tragic figure for his internalised racism about his elven mother, the fact that he [[MoralEventHorizon participated in the Chevalier 'graduation ritual' of killing innocent elves in the street in revenge for an insult that he knew was probably fabricated]] makes it a bit difficult to sympathise with him in this book and casts doubt on his 'redemption' by the time of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition''.
