Karl Thekla

Background
Little is so far known about Karl, other than he's a friend of Anders and a former mage.

Involvement
He was caught being in contact with Anders and made tranquil. The templars used Karl to lure Anders into a trap. The anger about Karl's fate leads to the first appearance of Vengeance. Apparently, Vengeance brought with him traces of the Fade, which, for a short time, restored Karl's former self from before he was cut off from the Fade. Now able to see his life without the indifference of the Tranquil, Karl confessed that he did not want a life as a emotionless puppet serving the templars and he begs Anders to end it. Hawke can advise him to grant Karl his wish, in this case Anders will apologize for failing Karl before killing him.
