“Flame you, Elf!”
Cairn is a templar in Dragon Age: Redemption seeking out the rogue saarebas along with Tallis. He is played by Adam Rayner.
Background
Cairn left a family behind to become a templar. It is implied by another companion, Nyree, that he and the other Templars of his order were very cruel to the mages in their care. Going so far as making bets on their lifespans and creating runes, "to block out the screaming."
Involvement
Cairn is tasked with finding and apprehending the rogue mage tal-vashoth. He meets Tallis by chance when the two cross blades trying to apprehend the same individual who was involved with the escaped mage. He later attempts to duel Tallis after she kills his charge, though eventually leaves in pursuit of the escaped saarebas.
He once again encounters Tallis when she saves his life, after he follows the trail of the saarebas to a Dalish camp. He later agrees to work with Tallis in finding the rogue mage, duelling for custody when they eventually find him. The pair are joined by an elven mage, Josmael, who is attempting to locate his kidnapped betrothed.
Cairn locates the saarebas in a cave, where he uses the blood of Josmael's love to complete part of the mask of Fen'Harel. He then escapes and seals the group in the cave, alongside one of his cohorts: a reaver mercenary named Nyree.
Tallis hires Nyree using money she stole from Josmael's clan, and Cairn accompanies the group to an inn. They are then confronted by a group of thugs.
