History Characters / DragonAgeIINonPlayableCharacters

--> ''I am losing my grip on how to balance this nightmare.''

* ApparentlyPowerlessPuppetmaster

* [[spoiler:WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: If she'd only ''told'' Merrill what the Pride Demon was really doing and properly explained herself, chances are that she wouldn't have ended up being deadified.]]

* [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins: Even if she gets he comeuppance, Kirkwall eventually comes to war with the qunari, which ends with them being kicked out: exactly what she wanted.]]

** This is [[DefiedTrope defied]] by Varric, however. [[spoiler: He says that Meredith and the idol were ultimately irrelevant.]]

* [[spoiler: DeathByIrony: During her boss fight, she animates statues to fight against you. She dies by accidently turning herself into one.]]

* [[KillEmAll Tranquilise Em All]]: Bear in mind that most mages view being made Tranquil as AFateWorseThanDeath.

* AffablyEvil: Flemeth saves Hawke's life, escorts their family safetly to Gwaren as promised and later offers free advice and consolation to Hawke and their companions on the slopes of Sundermount.
--> '''Flemeth''': You have my thanks... ''and my sympathies''

--> '''Flemeth''' Oh I ''like'' you!

* OddFriendship: Apparently he comes by Fenris' house once a week for a round of cards.

* AloofAlly: Donnic and Hawke's relationship, implied to be due to tension caused by Hawke being the [[PlatonicLifePartner "other man"]] in Aveline's life. Even if Hawke thinks of Donnic highly, Act 3 indicates the two never became close friends or socialise with each other unless its via Aveline.

* FlatCharacter: He's evil, sadistic, trying to turn all mages Tranquil... and that's really about it. [[spoiler:Somewhat justified in that you kill him before any questioning could realistically begin.]]

* [[spoiler: AmbiguouslyEvil: Orsino was clearly involved in some pretty shady stuff, like working with Quentin, harboring blood mages, and being one himself. However, his motives are left so ambiguous that it's hard to really put a label on him.]]

-->'''Hawke''': So I shouldn't slit my wrists and dance naked under the moonlight just to fit in.
-->'''Orsino''': Well, if that's what's going to happen, perhaps I should come with you after all.

-->'''Hawke''': If you two keep doing that in public, people will start ''talking.''

--> '''The Arishok''': [[ShutUpKirk What would the Qunari be without principle?]] [[WorthyOpponent You, I expect.]]

* NotSoDifferent: He muses that if the Qunari lacked their "principles", they would be just like Hawke.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Of the apostate group that Decimus and Grace lead.

--> [Morrigan] is a girl who thinks she knows what is what better than I, or anyone. Ha ha! And why not? I raised her to be as she is, I cannot expect her to be less.
--> I'm not sure whether she's your daughter or your enemy.
--> Neither is she...

* TakeThat: One that has more impact on the player than it will on Hawke. When Hawke asks if [[HeroOfAnotherStory Morrigan]] is Flemeth's enemy, she basically replies with "No". Given that Morrigan spends a good amount of time trying to kill her, this says a lot about how much of a threat Flemeth thinks she is.

!The Spirit of Vengeance

Originally the Spirit of Justice from ''Awakening'', Anders allowed him to become his new human host in a joint effort to free mages from the Circle. But Anders' anger at this injustice corrupted the spirit--when Hawke meets them, he is a Demon of Vengeance. Voiced by Adam Leadbeater and Adam Howden.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Did he become a KnightTemplar but remain a spirit, or does he fall from grace and become a true demon? Anders' opinion changes depending on whether he's a Friend or a Rival.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Vengeance does not understand time (time doesn't matter in the Fade) and doesn't truly understand things like "mercy" or "forgiveness." Thus he is driven by the unyielding desire to constantly lash out at the injustices Anders perceives, regardless of who it ultimately hurts.
* FallenHero: The difference between Vengeance and a true demon is practically non-existent.
* {{Foreshadowing}} In "Awakening" Anders and Justice had a conversation about the differences between spirits and demons and whether Justice could become a demon. May also count as HarsherInHindsight.
** Another conversation between Justice and Nathaniel about what would happen to Justice after the decay of Kristoff's body ends with him considering the idea of possessing a ''willing'' living human host.
** The Warden can even ask Justice if he desires vengeance for what happened to Kristoff and there is a thin line between avenging a wrong and outright vengeance.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While various party members have their own opinions on Anders, everyone seems very vocal in their clear dislike of Justice.
* GuestStarPartyMember: During the side-quest "Night Terrors", Vengence takes control of Anders and fights alongside you.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Inverted. While Justice originally encourages Anders to seek freedom for all mages, Anders wanted revenge more than justice, and Justice was corrupted.
* KnightTemplar: He still seeks to protect the weak and punish the wicked, but Anders' anger has made him completely merciless.
* LargeHam
* MoralEventHorizon: An ''in-universe'' example. Anders will consider this to be Justice's (and by extension his own) in Act II if he [[spoiler:isn't restrained and ends up murdering a young girl]]. Even if you ''do'' stop him, it still [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone shocks him to the core]]. Vengeance, on the other hand, is ''much'' quicker to throw this label around.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Justice has become a demon: Vengeance.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: For Anders.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Anders constantly fights to keep Vengeance under control--but occasionally Vengeance comes out. When he does, Anders' eyes glow blue.
** By Act 3, Anders reveals he's been suffering blackouts, which only had previously happened when Justice took control. This heavily implies that Justice is now ''actively vying to control Anders''.
* WhatHaveIDone: Anders blames himself for Justice's corruption. [[spoiler: The Mysteries of Kirkwall texts imply, however, that Tevinter blood magic under Kirkwall may have been more responsible.]]
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Vengeance is significantly less discerning about who qualifies as ally or enemy than before.

* ActionGirl: As you [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaMaCp_mMRI&feature=player_embedded can see from the Anime]], she [[Badass can take down an Ogre single-handedly.]]

* [[CoDragons Co-Lancer]]: Along with [[spoiler:Leliana]], to the White Divine; she is described as Justinia's "right hand".
