Changes: Jean-Marc Stroud

Revision as of 07:12, 23 April 2014

“Being a Grey Warden is not a cure...it is a calling.”

Background

Stroud appears to hold a high rank, since he is first seen with two men guarding and following him. Stroud speaks with a heavy Orlesian accent and is a warrior, fighting with a two-handed sword. He later carries a longsword and shield when you meet him in Act 2.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.

As Hawke's party returns to the surface after the Deep Roads expedition, Bethany or Carver will have contracted the darkspawn taint if they were brought in the expedition. If Anders is also part of the expedition, he will propose to search for a Grey Warden in the area to ask him to let Bethany or Carver join the order. That Grey Warden is Stroud.

After some negotiations with Anders, Stroud will let Hawke's sibling attempt to join the Grey Wardens, saying that Anders and he will then be even. Bethany/Carver will survive the initiation off-screen but will leave the party.

If Alistair did not remain with the Grey Wardens, Stroud will be encountered again during the Second Qunari Invasion of Kirkwall. In Lowtown Hawke will encounter Stroud, along with two other Wardens (and possibly Bethany or Carver) fighting a group of Qunari. After the battle, he announces that he cannot stay to help because he must return to his mission, and that Grey Wardens cannot get involved in political struggles regardless. Stroud will give Hawke the Warden's Promise ring before leaving.

Stroud is mentioned in the Legacy DLC if Bethany/Carver becomes a Grey Warden. Janeka will state that Stroud refused her request to take Bethany/Carver from his command in her efforts to free Corypheus.

Notes

He appears as unit in Heroes of Dragon Age. He is depicted carrying a shield which uses the heraldry of the Commanders of the Grey.
