Fenris

Once slave to a Tevinter magister, Fenris was altered: lyrium was burned into his flesh, its magic both stripping his memory as well as changing him forever. He became a living weapon, and eventually used his power to escape his chains. Now he finds himself in a strange land with no friends—and a former master who refuses to let him be.

Background
Fenris is a warrior specializing in two-handed weapons. The lyrium burned into his body causes him pain, making him guarded against physical contact, however, it is more of an aversion to them being touched rather than physical pain.
