Basics
| NAME: Alistair AGE: 36 NATIONALITY: Fereldan RACE: Human (elf-blooded) OCCUPATION: Grey Warden TITLE/RANK: Senior Warden |
HEIGHT: 6'2" BUILD: Broad, dense HAIR: Copper EYES: Copper SKIN: Tan & lightly freckled BEARING: Relaxed |
| DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Unremarkable stray scars, Theirin nose, designer stubble, eloquent eyebrows. His resting expression is smirky, skeptical, and a little tired. | |
Status
He has a room in the Gallows but he's often not there—he spends a lot of time doing field work and also a lot of time sleeping in the stables, where it isn't so quiet. The Grey Wardens have an office where he hangs out sometimes too. His current passion project is trying to figure out what happened to the Wardens involved in Corypheus' original capture.
Reputation
Broadly: Alistair is fairly well-known throughout Thedas as The Alistair who fought The Archdemon with The Hero of Ferelden. It isn't a secret that he's Maric Theirin's son, but the official word is that nobody can prove anything. He doesn't call himself Alistair Theirin and would groan forever if anyone else tried. After the Blight he was quietly exiled from Ferelden and more or less vanished from public view.
Wardens: He has a semi-fearsome reputation among Wardens who haven't actually met him yet—he has as many or more dead darkspawn under his belt as anyone alive—but anyone who has actually met him would be entirely within their rights to roll their eyes. He's a Senior Warden, but he doesn't act like anyone's commanding officer if he can avoid it. He's spent the last ten years running around Thedas dealing with darkspawn outbreaks and mysterious errands, with the last two focused on poking his big nose around red lyrium and Corypheus.
Around Town: The squinty, smirky Warden who's friendly to nearly everyone, but in an arch way that could instead be mocking, hard to tell.
Hooks
Warden things, mostly, but he also cares quickly and loudly about anyone who looks underprivileged or distressed in his vicinity and will talk to walls if he's bored enough, so he's easy to pull into other business. He was friends with Marian Hawke prior to her disappearance and digging into red lyrium on her behalf, and he was trying to figure out Corypheus for over a year before the Inquisition formed, so he cares a lot about those things.
