Tug is a dwarf companion in the Leliana's SongDLC for Dragon Age: Origins. He is brash, cunning, uncomplicated--an excellent frontline thug who doesn't ask questions and knows when he should leave the planning to someone else. Fiercely loyal to his friends, even as he gives them a hard time. A strange fit to follow a bard, although he'd claim there's no better view.
Tug is ultimately tortured and killed by Harwen Raleigh and Marjolaine. According to Sketch, his early death was a result of his constant talking as a diversion to protect Sketch from having his hands cut off (the guards believed it was the only way they could trust the mage).
