Grace is a mage from the Starkhaven Circle.

Background[]

Grace used to be a mage at Starkhaven before the Circle there was burned down. During that time, she had a relationship with Decimus. Grace felt like a prisoner in the Circle, and she credited Decimus with giving her and the other apostates the courage to fight the templars.

Involvement[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Grace is involved in the quest Act of Mercy. Ser Thrask sends Hawke a letter asking them to come to a remote cave along the Wounded Coast. When Hawke arrives, Thrask tells them that a group of apostates who escaped from Starkhaven are hiding inside. Hawke must get them to surrender or else Ser Karras will slaughter them. After entering the cave and eliminating the early threats, Hawke finds the apostates at the back of the cave. The group is led by Decimus. He has taken up blood magic and is ready to fight to the death for the mages' freedom. Decimus assumes Hawke to be a templar, despite Grace's comment to the contrary, and attacks. Hawke kills Decimus and the few mages that fight by his side.

Regardless of whether the templars were tricked or killed by Hawke, Grace can be encountered again in the Gallows Courtyard in Act 2. She bitterly states she was caught after three years on the run, and that Decimus was right, they should've died before submitting to templars. If Hawke tricked or killed the templars to let the Starkhaven mages escape, Grace complains that Hawke should have expected their recapture given that the mages had no food, supplies and only a small head start. She also questions whether Hawke told the templars about their escape.

Finally, Grace joins in a conspiracy to remove Knight-Commander Meredith with a number of renegade templars and mages.

However, when Thrask attempts to broker terms with Hawke, Grace attempts to kill Hawke and the hostage in retaliation for the death of Decimus, killing Ser Thrask in the process. Grace also turns into a pride abomination. Despite her new power, she is slain by Hawke and their companions.

If Hawke sides with the mages, Alain will be present alongside the other mages at the Gallows. Attempting to speak with Alain will have him wonder what Grace would think if she were present.
