Ser Aaron Hawthorne is a Fereldan knight traveling with his squire, Vaea, in Kirkwall as an honored guest of Viscount Varric Tethras. He is a veteran of both, the Fereldan Rebellion and the Battle of Ostagar.[1] While in the city his squire takes what should be an easy job. However, she changes the terms of the job mid-heist and ends up in a dangerous situation.[2]
Background
As a young, Ser Aaron was knighted by King Maric himself after helping to avoid further conflicts with Orlais, sometime after the Fereldan Rebellion. As all his family had died during the Orlesain Occupation and he had no lands of his own, Ser Aaron became a traveling knight.[1]
During the Fifth Blight, Ser Aaron was among the knights who fought alongside King Cailan in the Battle of Ostagar. He was also one of the few survivors of that battle.[1]
Ser Aaron and Vaea met after he defended the City elves of the arling of Edgehall from Arl Gell Lendon's destruction of their vhenadahl. Gell had had their Tree cut down after the elves protested their treatment by the Arl, and after a Dalish clan offered a sapling for a new tree had it confiscated. The Dalish threatened to attack the arling. Aaron, who happened to be in Edgehall at the time, forced the Arl and the Dalish to stand down and ensured the tree was returned to the Edgehall Alienage. The elves there threw him a feast and so impressed him with their kindness and generosity that he took Vaea on as a squire in hopes her successes would be shared with her people.[1]
