-The protagonist, initially referred to as "Athlok", is tasked by her [[Qunari]] superiors to apprehend a rogue [[Saarebas]], who was captured and imprisoned in [[Kirkwall]] by the [[Templar Order|templar]]s, but managed to break out of captivity and embarks on a rampage to perform a dark ritual and wreak havoc throughout the world. If she succeeds, she will regain her name and title of "Tallis" (meaning "to solve" in the Qunari language), and be reinstated as a member of the [[Ben-Hassrath]], after being demoted as punishment for previous transgressions. In her quest to find this dangerous mage, Tallis is joined by other companions: a templar named [[Cairn]], who is tracking the Saarebas with his phylactery and later crossed paths with Tallis when trying to hunt down a criminal who helped free the fugitive; [[Josmael]], the First of a [[Dalish]] [[Keeper]] who was taken away and imprisoned by templars (and later killed by the Saarebas during the prison breakout); and [[Nyree]], a [[reaver]] mercenary from [[Nevarra]] who was hired by the Saarebas and later double-crossed by the renegade mage.
