Grey Warden membership

''Join us brothers and sisters. Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant. Join us as we carry the duty that can not be forsworn. And should you perish, know that your sacrifice will not be forgotten. And that one day we shall join you.''

(Words spoken at the Grey Warden Joining)

The Grey Warden Membership comprises countless men and women - humans, elves and dwarves - who have given their lives to protect Thedas from the threat of the darkspawn. These are just a few of them, and what is known of their fates.

Pre-Ages
When the order was formed in 890 TE - over two millennia before the Dragon Age - it was formed primarily of Tevinter Imperium veterans of the darkspawn battles of the First Blight.

Glory Age
Six to seven centuries before the Dragon Age
 * Asturian: Commander of the Grey in Ferelden, submitted to his Calling some time after completing Soldier's Peak in 2:34 Glory.
 * Frida Halwic: Took over as Warden-Commander in Ferelden after Asturian's Calling.

Exalted Age
Three to four centuries before the Dragon Age
 * Garahel: An elven Warden who united Thedas against the Fourth Blight, and died striking the killing blow against the Archdemon Andoral in 5:24 Exalted.

Steel/Storm Age
Two centuries before the Dragon Age

Awakening

 * The Warden-Commander: the Fereldan Commander of the Grey, might be either The Warden or an Orlesian Warden sent to Ferelden.
 * Anders is a human mage who has escaped the Circle of Magi seven times, but always seems to get caught. The templar woman in an Awakening trailer claims that Anders is a murderer and is not to be trusted. She blames him for the death of the templars that were guarding him at Vigil's Keep when the darkspawn attacked.
 * Velanna is an elven mage of a rather unknown and questionable origin, as seen in her very short trailer. She is aggressive and has the ability to animate the trees (which are similar to sylvans). According to the trailer, she is hunting the merchants who took her sister, and attacks the Warden for killing her "friends" (meaning some Dalish elves she is traveling with). Who her sister is and why they took her is unknown. She is found in the Wending Woods.
 * Sigrun is a dwarven rogue who is a member of the Legion of the Dead. She fought the darkspawn with her group in the Deep Roads and is the last survivor. Also, she thinks that something odd is happening in the fortress of Kal'Hirol.
 * Mhairi is a female human warrior who admires the two Wardens who defeated the archdemon "single-handedly" and jumps at the opportunity to help rebuild the order. Mhairi did not survive the Joining.
 * Nathaniel Howe is a rogue and the son of Arl Rendon Howe. He is found in Vigil's Keep dungeon.
 * Oghren is a dwarven warrior who fought alongside The Warden during the Fifth Blight.
 * Kristoff was one of the Orlesian Wardens sent to Ferelden after the fifth blight to help rebuild the order. He was slain by The First during a recon mission in the Blackmarsh. His body was used as a bait to lure the Commander of the Grey into a trap. After the defeat of the First in the Fade Kristoff's body accidentally becomes possessed by the spirit of Justice.
 * Keenan is a human Warden found in the Silverite Mine after being abducted from Vigil's Keep by The Architect. He survives long enough to initiate the quest Last Wishes.
