Tallis

"You go elbow-deep in wyvern shit, and I'm the weird one?"

Tallis is an elven qunari assassin who is the protagonist of Dragon Age: Redemption, and is also a key character in the Dragon Age II DLC Mark of the Assassin.

Background
Little is known of Tallis' background as of yet. She was not born a Qunari, but converted sometime after her parents sold her into slavery and was found by the Qunari. It appears that Tallis was trained as a Ben-Hassrath by her Qunari mentor, Salit. For reasons currently unknown, she was stripped of her rank and given the title, "Athlok" and was assigned as a kitchen-hand on a boat docked in Kirkwall.

Mark of the Assassin
Tallis is a temporary companion in the Mark of the Assassin DLC. She makes her appearance after foiling an ambush made by the Antivan Crows against Hawke. She then enlists for Hawke's help in stealing a jewel called the "Heart of the Many" from an Orlesian noble named Prosper, which she claims has no right to possess. However, upon infiltrating the Chateau Haine, it becomes apparent that Prosper knew her identity and reveals to Hawke Tallis' status as a Qunari agent.

While locked in the dungeon, Tallis confesses to Hawke the truth. She was actually trying to stop a Tal-Vashoth, named Salit, who recruited her into the Ben-Hassrath, from selling Qunari secrets to Orlais. Though the Ariqun did not feel it worth intervening, Tallis decided to stop Salit of her own volition, knowing that Salit's betrayal will harm many people, not just Qunari.

After escaping the dungeons and if Hawke assists Tallis, they are able to steal a scroll Salit was handing over to Prosper, which contained information on various Qunari agents throughout Thedas, even those who have left the Qun. She then passes Hawke an actual jewel.
