"The Elder One is coming. No one will leave Therinfal who is not stained red!"

Denam is a Knight-Captain of the Templar Order who abandoned the Order and joined with the Red Templars.

Background


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Knight-Captain Denam led the Templars at Therinfal Redoubt alongside the Envy Demon impersonating the Lord Seeker Lucius Corin, where he killed the Knight-Vigilant who commanded the Order, thus paving the way for the demon, as Lucius, to take his place. Denam also provided the Templars at Therinfal with Red Lyrium, beginning with the officers and working his way down, with the full knowledge of just how dangerous the Red Lyrium was.

If the Champions of the Just quest is chosen, the Inquisitor will go to Therinfal along with representatives of the noblest houses of Orlais, headed by Lord Abernache, to speak with Lord Seeker Lucius and convince him to bring his Templars out of their self-imposed exile and help seal The Breach. Rather than appear before them himself, Denam was sent in the Lord Seeker's stead, where by looking at him it was clear to the Inquisitor that there was something very wrong with the Templar.

Denam explains to the Inquisitor that the Lord Seeker had a plan for the Order, but that the Inquisition's arrival to Therinfal had raised too many questions from among the Templar ranks, to the point that the plan was all but ruined. Thus, to salvage what they could, those Templars who had been corrupted by the Red Lyrium were tasked to purge the rest of the Order, as well as the Inquisitor and their noble allies, with Denam declaring that no one will leave Therinfal who is not "stained red".


Involvement

Dragon Age: Inquisition.


Inquisitor recruits the Templars:

Shortly after his introduction, Denam, alongside a small group of Red Templars, will initiate a fight against the Inquisitor and their party, after which Denam will be found unconscious, but barely alive, and is soon captured by the Inquisition. As soon as the quest is completed and the Inquisitor finally has access to Skyhold, they can sit in judgement over the captured Denam. Cullen will relieve Josephine from presenting the former Knight-Captain for judgement, while Denam will defend his actions by stating that he only did "as [he] was told," though the evidence against him was damning.

Denam will then change his defence by telling the Inquisition that he served a greater power, and accused all present that none of them would have been fool enough to deny it. He then demanded justice, which the Inquisitor happily gave him.

Given the choice, the Inquisitor can either:

  • Have him executed, to which he will be taken to the gallows.
  • Have him sent to the remaining Templars so that they could punish him. Denam will note that they would more than likely execute him.
  • Exile him to a wasteland known as the Sea of Ash. Historically, this was the standard punishment for Templar officers who betrayed the men under their command.
  • Have him questioned about Red Lyrium and then imprisoned until the Inquisition dealt with Corypheus.

After he is judged, with the exception of the final choice, Denam will then be dragged away from the throne room as he protests the Inquisitor's judgement over him.

Regardless of the judgement, Denam's case is one of the rare few where none of the choices end with disapproval for any of the companions.



Inquisitor recruits the Mages:

As soon as the Mages are recruited and the Breach is sealed, Haven is attacked by the Red Templars. As the Inquisitor is preparing the trebuchet to be fired at the invading army, they have to fight off waves of Red Templars. Denam appears in the final wave as a Behemoth and has no interactions with the Inquisitor beyond attacking them.
