Fenris

Somewhere in his late twenties. Elves age just like humans.

Bisexual (As far as what has been recorded by outside sources)

Lanky, shorter than human men due to his elven heritage.

Fenris' Mansion, Hightown

The residence is first accessed during the quest Bait and Switch, whereby Hawke clears the manor from shades while searching for Danarius. Upon discovering that his old master has left Kirkwall, Fenris elects to stay on the grounds in the event that Danarius returns.

As confirmed by Fenris during his Act 2 side quest Speak to Fenris, the mansion did not in fact belong to Danarius, but rather a Tevinter merchant.

Fenris only resides in the main room. The rest of the mansion is left untouched and unkempt. Dark and dreary, Fenris probably spends most of his free days prancing around the dim manor. Even if he won't admit it.

Wine drinking

introvert, calculating, passionate, rough, witty, broody.

Speaks common, along with Tevene(Latin) fluently Knows enough Qunlat to hold a conversation, but has an accent while speaking the language. Never learned, so doesn't know Elven Cannot read or write.

Fenris is a name given to him by Danarius, meaning "Little Wolf." Fenris was told that he was originally from Seheron. Fenris primarily swears in Tevene, but occasionally will break into meditation-like comments on the fight. He has one of the few sound-sets that never actually yells during combat. Fenris apparently has some knowledge of Qunlat and can address the Arishok in the language if present for Blackpowder Courtesy, though Tallis comments on his pronunciation being poor. Fenris has a particular dislike for fish[12] but likes apples. Fenris has an especially soft spot for dogs, as evidenced by his conversation with Hawke and their mabari and commentary from Dragon Age: Dark Fortress writer Nunzio DeFilippis. While the horse Fenris rides in Dragon Age: Blue Wraith is never referred to by name, Fenris would possibly name his horse "something functional, like 'Horse.' But then there’s the side of him which sweet talks Autumn, so he may have a cute name for his horse too. Maybe a combo, so he can pretend to not care. Like 'Princess Horse,'" according a fan question answered on Nunzio DeFilippis' Tumblr. Fenris cannot always control his lyrium markings. Fenris plays cards regularly, with Varric Tethras, Isabela, Anders and Donnic Hendyr among other people. In Act 3, he hosts a weekly game of Diamondback at his mansion. In Act 3 and Legacy, if neither Isabela nor Fenris have been romanced, then party banter between Fenris and Isabela will suggest that they are in an intimate relationship, although it is apparently purely physical. The moniker "Blue Wraith" is a play on Fenris's Lyrium Ghost ability, given that the word "ghost" is rarely mentioned in the Dragon Age series and not everyone he encounters would recognize his glowing markings as being made of lyrium. Fenris, as a former slave, never learned how to read. Dialogue with Hawke can open up the option to teach him how, which can lead to a comment by Hawke when select

Depending on Hawke's actions, Fenris can:

Never be recruited Leave if Hawke refuses to help him in Act 2 or asks him to leave in Act 3 Return to his former master Danarius and have his memory wiped again Leave after he helped Hawke in the final battle (mages or templars side) Stay with a romanced Hawke after the final battle (mages or templars side, romance) Be killed by Hawke in combat in the Gallows (mages side, Approval/Rivalry not high enough + certain choices)

During his personal quest Alone, Fenris tells Hawke that he has obtained information about his sister and wants Hawke to go with him to meet her. After Varania talks about events in Fenris' past, Danarius appears, revealing that it was a set-up. He promised to make Variana his apprentice in exchange for baiting Fenris. Hawke has two options: to turn Fenris in or to engage in combat with Danarius.

If Hawke agrees to betray Fenris, he gives up without a fight and permanently leaves the party. Later, Hawke receives a letter from Danarius stating that Fenris "is his usual compliant self now that his memories have been once again removed." Alternatively, if Danarius is killed, Fenris tries to kill his sister. Hawke can let him do it or persuade him not to kill her. If Varania lives, she reveals that Fenris competed to obtain his lyrium markings and used a boon in order to free her and their mother from slavery. She says that freedom was no boon and that he has no idea what she's had to do since their mother died, then leaves.

When Hawke reaches 100% friendship or rivalry with Fenris, they can talk to Fenris in his mansion. One of the dialogue options leads to him permanently leaving the party.

If Bethany/Carver are dead during Best Served Cold, Fenris can be taken hostage by Grace and Thrask.

After the destruction of the Chantry, Fenris advocates for killing Anders. In the final battle, Fenris always joins Hawke who sided with the templars. He also immediately joins Hawke who sided with the mages if they have 100% friendship or rivalry with Fenris and have completed his last personal quest, Questioning Beliefs. In certain world states, Varric tells the Inquisitor that Fenris is hunting down Tevinter slavers preying on refugees from the south.

When Hawke travels outside Kirkwall (for example to The Bone Pit or Sundermount) with Fenris in the party, there is a surprise encounter in which Tevinter slavers sent by Danarius' apprentice Hadriana attempt to recapture him. This ambush begins the quest A Bitter Pill. Fenris asks Hawke to go to the abandoned slaver den to face Hadriana. If his request is not fulfilled in a timely manner, the quest is automatically completed and Fenris permanently leaves the party.

Inside the cave, Hawke finds an escaped slave girl by the name of Orana and has several options on how to deal with her. Then, Hawke finally reaches Hadriana who attacks on sight. Once defeated, Hadriana says that Fenris has a sister and offers information in return for her life. Regardless of Hawke's choice, Fenris kills Hadriana. He temporarily leaves the party. You must talk to him in Hawke's mansion to complete the quest.

During Questioning Beliefs, Hawke learns that Fenris has obtained considerable knowledge of Qunari culture and practices; a result of him being left behind on Seheron by his master after a battle between the Tevinter mages and the Qunari. His injuries were treated by Fog Warriors and he spent several months living with them before Danarius returned to retrieve Fenris. The Fog Warriors refused to give him up, and Danarius was injured in the subsequent battle. Danarius ordered Fenris to kill the Fog Warriors who had defended him, which he did. He indicates regret at doing so, but apparently still had a lingering propensity to do as commanded upon the return of his master. It was this event that caused Fenris to finally leave his master, taking advantage of the delay in pursuit that Danarius' injuries offered.

If brought to meetings with the Arishok, Fenris has special dialogue that demonstrates his knowledge, which, in turn, impresses the Arishok. However, he also states that he is not a follower of the Qun.

Hawke meets Fenris during the Bait and Switch quest. He reveals that he used Anso, who had hired Hawke's party for the quest's job, as bait to lure in his former master's bounty hunters out in the open. He may then enlist Hawke's aid in helping him clear out Danarius' mansion in Hightown so that he can confront him. Should Hawke refuse, Fenris pays Hawke and leaves, no longer recruitable or part of the story. Should Hawke accept, the party clears the mansion. Yet to Fenris' disappointment, Danarius is not there. He directs Hawke to the spoils of their battle and offers his services as payment for their aid. Upon completion of the quest, he can join the party as a permanent companion. Later, Hawke can talk to him in his former master's old mansion, located in Hightown. He stays in the mansion for the rest of the game.

Hawke can call on Fenris to use his special ability in order to interrogate and kill Danzig and to kill Kelder Vanard.

Once a slave of a Tevinter magister called Danarius, Fenris is covered in a series of lyrium-infused markings, which grant him the unnatural ability to phase through solid objects, which is somehow connected to the Fade. Fenris often uses this ability as a weapon, phasing through individuals and solidifying, killing them instantly. However, these markings are also extremely sensitive, and touching them often results in physical discomfort. Because of this, he has an aversion towards being touched. However, the experiments performed on him also caused him to lose all of his memories. He fled to Kirkwall as a fugitive, hunted by the soldiers of his former master. Being a former slave himself, Fenris is happy to help slaves flee their masters or kill the ones who hold onto their chains. But due to his unpleasant experience with the Tevinter Magisters, he is extremely distrustful of mages, even friendly ones. He feels that they would do anything for power, and will inevitably succumb to the temptations that demons and blood magic has to offer.

During the quest Alone in Act 3, Fenris will discover that his name used to be Leto. If Hawke does not let Danarius take him, it will be revealed that Fenris's sister is, in fact, a mage. She mentions that life has been hard since their mother died, but does not say how. If Fenris spares his sister, he will also learn that he competed for the lyrium markings in order to free his mother and sister from slavery.

After escaping from Danarius, Fenris killed all of his former master's heirs. While storming Castellum Tenebris, he recalls that the elder Danarius' ritual involved placing a sword on his sarcophagus, then blasting it with fire magic. Cedric Marquette later says that it was specifically an "arcane warrior sword", and that it was destroyed during the ritual.

Fenris is an elven warrior and fugitive slave from Tevinter. As a result, he is extremely distrustful of mages, and is more than happy to help fellow slaves. He is a potential companion of Hawke and a romance option for either male or female Hawke.
