Duhaime

Commander Duhaime is a member of the Venatori conspiring against the Orlesian Empire in servitude of the Elder One.

Background[]

To promote instability in the Emerald Graves, Duhaime colludes with the Freemen of the Dales allowing them free reign to wreck havoc in the region. However, unbeknownst to the Freemen, Duhaime is in fact a double agent working for the Venatori and allied with the Red Templars. Duhaime has somehow manged to become a high ranking member of the Freemen and is currently positioned as a commander of the Freemen in the Graves.

Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Duhaime can be found at Fair Banks Cottage, the small pavilion in Villa Maurel's courtyard, whilst the the Inquisitor coincidentally arrives on scene en route from recently taking down two high ranking members of the Freemen; Sister Costeau at the Veridium Mine and Ser Auguste at Argon's Lodge.

Duhaime, accompanied by both Freemen and Red Templars, are converging on General Maliphant, the current leader of the Freemen, to "discuss" his recent lack of cooperation. The confrontation between the Inquisitor and Duhaime's men end up in Maliphant's favor as they are all bested prior to ever entering the compound. The Inquisitor slays everyone on site conspiring with the Venatori and Red Templars and loots the key to Villa Maurel from Duhaime's corpse.

Word of Duhaime's death spreads quickly among the remaining Freemen; the Inquisitor is able to intercept a note confirming the Venatori-Red Templar alliance:

“When Samson made this deal we promised you the Dales, if you could hold them and keep the roads open for our supplies. To difficult a concept to grasp, I see? Enough of your fumbling, the Red Templars will deal with the Inquisition” ―scribbled note from Knight-Captain Carroll
