The Messenger (Awakening)

Background
The Messenger is a Disciple Darkspawn who is allied with The Architect.

Involved In
As his name suggests, he is a messenger for The Architect. He first appears during the Attack on Ameranthine to warn the Warden of a simultaneous attack on Vigil's keep. Should the warden choose to stay and defend Ameranthine, he/she can choose to have him fight alongside him/her and, after the battle is complete, will be given the option of setting him free or killing him.

Result
If he is set free, he will be mentioned in the ending as a helpful hooded traveler with a slight lisp who aided those he came by. Isolated incidents of the taint also occurred in the areas he visited, though the traveler and said incidents were never connected.
