Otto Alrik

Not to be confused with Ser Otto "Yes, after we make you Tranquil, you'll do everything I say..."

Ser Otto Alrik is a prejudiced and over zealous templar in Kirkwall, and the architect of the Tranquil Solution.

Background
Ser Alrik is a templar who harbours deep prejudice and resentments towards mages. He is also the mind behind the nefarious Tranquil Solution.

The Tranquil Solution
The Tranquil Solution was a scheme orchestrated by Ser Alrik, in which he intended to make every mage in Thedas under Circle control Tranquil. This would range from the most accomplished enchanter, to the smallest child who exhibited magical ability. Proposals for the plan to begin immediately were sent to Meredith, Knight Commander of the templars in Kirkwall, and to the leader of the Chantry herself, Divine Justinia V. Both leaders rejected the plan, however, Alrik went through with his plan in secret, snatching away mages and forcing them into tranquility.
