Fergus Cousland

Fergus Cousland is the Human Noble Warden's elder brother, husband to Oriana Cousland, and father to Oren Cousland. At the beginning of Dragon Age: Origins, he is sent off to the war with the darkspawn as the Couslands answer King Cailan Theirin's call for aid.

Involvement
His father Teyrn Bryce Cousland asks the Warden to bid him farewell, as the Warden has to stay back and make sure the castle is safe. After doing this, he promptly leaves. He is unaware of the attack on the castle as he left before Arl Rendon Howe's treachery. He was sent to lead a scouting mission prior to the battle of Ostagar, and did not return in time to fight in the battle.

After the party retreats to Morrigan's home, the Warden has the option to order the companions to look for him. Morrigan will say it is impossible to go looking without any sort of guidance, and so the plan is dropped.
