Maric Theirin

King Maric Theirin, nicknamed "Maric the Savior", is the son of Moira the Rebel Queen. At around the beginning of the Dragon Age, he freed Ferelden from the rule of the Orlesian Empire with support from his later queen, Rowan, and close friend Loghain Mac Tir. He and Rowan had one son, Cailan Theirin, though he fathered one known bastard, Alistair. Maric died at sea in 9:25 Dragon, and his son Cailan inherited the throne.

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