Elthina

"Death is never justice."

Elthina is the Grand Cleric of the Kirkwall Chantry, and one of the most powerful people in Kirkwall. She is seen arguing with Sebastian Vael regarding a notice posted by him.

Background
Portrayed as an empathetic, kind and compassionate soul in Sebastian Vael's back story, Elthina acted as a guardian to Sebastian after he was forced into the Chantry. Seeing how miserable her charge was, Elthina helped him escape in the dead of night, telling him that people should enter the Chantry through the front door, not the back. She gave him a purse full of gold, and told him to go and live his life. Thanks to her words, Sebastian returned to the Chantry - through the front door this time - his faith restored.

She is responsible for Meredith rising to the position of Knight-Comander of Kirkwall.
