Cole

"It doesn't matter that they won't remember me. What matters is I helped."

Cole appears to be a human male who lived in the White Spire of Val Royeaux in Orlais. He is a companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Background
"He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds. He can slit an enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be seen again. Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed… and Cole isn't certain that he does exist."

Cole is a unique entity, described as being caught somewhere between the realm of the Fade and the real world. He is a spirit, though there are some who believe that he may be some sort of demon pretending to be human. Cole himself is unsure of what exactly he is, and his unique set of abilities are unprecedented. Cole also has the uncanny ability to sense people who are in pain. He uses this ability to find people in the most painful moment of their lives and offers them comfort without hesitation, judgement, or expectation of thanks. He is searching for his place in the world; an ally to those who wish to help others.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
In attempting to find his place in the world, Cole joins the Inquisition.

Dragon Age: Asunder

 * "Now I walk within the shadows. I can see the light, but it never finds me. I reach for it, but it slips through my fingers. In the shadows you are always alone, the world oblivious to your passing."
 * "Look into my eyes..."
