Alain is a mage encountered in two main Dragon Age II quests.

Background

Not much is known about Alain's past. He used to be a mage at the Circle of Starkhaven before it was burned down.

Involvement


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Act 1

Alain is involved in the quest Act of Mercy. Ser Thrask will send Hawke a letter asking him to come to a remote cave along The Wounded Coast. When Hawke arrives, Thrask will tell him that a group of apostate mages who escaped from Starkhaven are hiding inside. Hawke must get them to surrender or else Ser Karras will arrive and slaughter them. After entering the cave and eliminating the early threats, Hawke will find Alain, who claims that he never wished to join the group, and is terrified by the use of blood magic. He will run to the entrance and surrender himself to the templars. Alain is taken to the Gallows by Thrask or Karras a the end of the quest.

If Hawke subsequently talks to Alain in the Gallows courtyard, he tells that the Starkhaven Circle was never like this. The templars beat the mages and no one says a thing. They won't let him send mail out, and he found a letter to his parents that they burned in the furnace. Finally, Ser Karras promised to make him Tranquil if Alain told anyone he has been in Alain's chambers.

Act 3

Alain is then involved in the quest Best Served Cold. It will transpire that Alain has reluctantly joined a plot to overthrow Knight-Commander Meredith, led by Ser Thrask and Grace, a fellow apostate. Alain takes a stand against Grace when she says that Hawke must die, but remains silent after Grace strikes him and uses blood magic to kill Thrask and attack Hawke. After Grace is dead, he will begrudgingly use blood magic to free the hostage which the rebels have captured. Alain will be taken by Knight-Captain Cullen, and will either be executed or spared based on the Champion's advice. If he is spared and the Champion later sides with the Circle of Magi, Alain will be present along with the Champion's party in the Gallows prior to the final battle and making their last stand.
