Infamous across much of southern Thedas thanks to her bloody dealings with the Kirkwall Order of Templars, her staunch support of the mages' revolt, and the bestselling biography about all of it, Aidan's status as a celebrity wanted dead or alive by the Chantry hounded her out of the Marches, where she travelled with an old friend, Fenris, putting her fighting skills to good use at his side.

Known within the rebellion as the "poisoner of Ostwick", Anka shrewdly navigated her newfound power as the Herald of Andraste as she, Vivienne and Fiona allied together to create a new and improved southern College of Enchanters. After Vivienne became the new Divine, she and Anka remained respectful friends for the rest of their lives, though their friendship began to grow more affectionate as time passed on and the new Circle and Bright Hand both began to stabilize, strengthened by connections with the original Nevarran College, mage collectives in the North, and other apostate allies.

Despite his involvement in the Kirkwall Rebellion, Jamie Hawke is best known for the numerous clinics he and his sister founded in Kirkwall and sister cities, as well as the library and community garden in Starkhaven, named in honor of his late father. His connection to the Red Jennies, established by his mysterious cousin, persisted for years after he left Kirkwall; whether or not the rumor ever held water is up for debate.

In mercenary circles, Kit and his acquaintances have always been regarded as highly competent eccentrics; his management of the Inquisition fell under similar lines, to the chagrin of attendant nobles and much of the Inquisition's leadership. He saw the Inquisition's political power as a necessary evil, and leveraged it to the hilt to stymie the Elder One's war. Before the Inquisiton waned in power, he allied it with Briala of Halamshiral and Taven to create land holdings in Orlais.

Widely known across Ferelden and the southern Marches for her heroism in the Fifth Blight and Amaranthine, Warden-Commander Surana is a proud member of Clan Surana, reunited with her family after years in the Circle, and spearheading the rehabilitation of the Grey Wardens' gryphons.

Feared by the Merchants' Guild and the Carta families of the Free Marches and much of Orlais, Mikal is known by many monikers as a friend to those in need, an adventurer up for strange challenges, a craftswoman and a bit of a historian. She took the mantle of Inquisitor with great reluctance, but used the opportunity to champion the causes of those who sorely needed it, restore peace at the Chantry's expense, and deftly maneuver thru Thedosian politics. Her recovery of several centuries of lost dwarven history in the Hissing Wastes put the cat among the pigeons in academic circles from Ayesleigh to Denerim.

Sev Amell was one of many who fought at the Warden-Commander's side; they grew up together in the Circle, and kept in contact for years after the Blight. His work on offensive blood magic designed for use against the 'spawn was archived by the Wardens in the Anderfels.

Originally born on the far eastern shore of the Marches, Tiernan grew up in the White Spire, where he and Pharamond became friends and fell in love before Pharamond was Tranquilized at his Harrowing and Tiernan was part of a trade that sent him back east to Ostwick. He cared for the young mages there and became close to young Linnea, who he took under his wing. Tiernan was one of the ring of traitors within Ostwick's Circle- along with Anka- who plotted to murder the Knight Commander, seize control of the Tower, and prevent an annullment. When the plot was uncovered, Tiernan took the fall and was Tranquilized in lieu of execution. He died at the Conclave with the rest of the Marcher contingent.
