Daveth

Daveth is a human rogue seen in a trailer featuring the Tower of Ishal. Daveth is only a temporary companion.

Daveth is voiced by Gillon Stephenson.

Background
Daveth is one of Grey Warden recruits that the Warden meets in Ostagar. He grew up in a small unmapped village a days East from Ostagar. Living in Denerim for six years as a career criminal, he fled from his village and his father as soon as he was capable of making a successful sprint.

While in Denerim, Daveth tried to cut Duncan's purse, only to be caught red handed by the Grey Warden. He fled, but the guards caught him before Duncan could. With the guards seeking to hang him for repeated offenses, Duncan intervened with the Right of Conscription, simultaneously saving Daveth's life and recruiting him to the Grey Wardens.

Involvement
You, Alistair, Daveth and Jory are sent on a scouting mission to fill three vials of darkspawn blood for each person. Duncan also tasks you to retrieve some ancient treaties if they could manage. They fight their way to the darkspawn, to find a peculiar woman at the treaty's location. She reveals herself to be Morrigan, claiming her mother placed it under "better" protection. You follow Morrigan to her mother's house. Asking kindly will allow you to gain the treaty without any incident. Upon returning to camp, Daveth dies during the Grey Wardens' Joining ritual after drinking the ceremonial darkspawn blood. After which Ser Jory panics and is killed by Duncan since no one is allowed to back out of the ceremony. Daveth and Jory's items make it into your own inventory.

Strategy
Daveth has basic rogue skills to put to use such as dirty fighting, but unfortunately, you cannot use his character to pick any locks on any chests in the Kokari Wilds as he does not have any of the deft hands skills. This means that if your character is not a rogue with this ability, you will be unable to open any of the chests in the Kokari Wilds, an area to which you are unable to return later in the game.

Trivia

 * When asked to compare Daveth to a food, BioWare employee Sheryl Chee stated that "Daveth is like pop rocks."
 * Writer Sheryl Chee also commented that when going out for a drink Daveth would "order a large variety of those pretty drinks that come in martini glasses and taste like candy, and send them to that cute girl in the corner."
