Marlowe Dumar

Lord Viscount Marlowe Dumar is the Viscount of Kirkwall, assuming power after the death of the previous viscount, Perrin Threnhold, at the hands of the Templars. Threnhold was eliminated for seeking to expel the Kirkwall Templar Order. Dumar holds power only at the sufferance of the Templars. During his reign as Viscount, the Templar Order has grown extremely powerful in Kirkwall: it has become the center of Chantry strength in eastern Thedas and holds its Circle of Magi in a terrifying iron grip.
