Maric Theirin

"A man is made by the quality of his enemies."

Maric Theirin, nicknamed "Maric the Savior", is the King of Ferelden between 9:02-25 Dragon. He was born in 8:78 Blessed and is the son of Moira Theirin.

Background
At around the beginning of the Dragon Age, he freed Ferelden from the rule of the Orlesian Empire and restored the Theirin family as the ruling family of Ferelden with the help of his queen, Rowan, and close friend Loghain. He and Rowan had one son, Cailan Theirin, though he fathered one known bastard, Alistair.

Disappearance
Maric was lost at sea on a voyage to Wycome in 9:25 Dragon, and was declared dead. Loghain Mac Tir searched for him for two years, to no avail. Rumors persisted however, that Maric was alive, being held in an Orlesian prison.
