“I'm here to set things right. Also? To look dashing. That part's less difficult.”
Dorian Pavus is a human Altus[2] mage of the Tevinter Imperium, and a companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition. He is a potential romance option for a male Inquisitor[3].
Background
Dorian was born to a prestigious family of the Tevinter Imperium, demonstrating from an early age a flair for magic which made him the envy of his peers. He served as a student under magister Alexius, though eventually became disillusioned with Tevinter culture.
With his magical ability, wit and charm, it would seem he would have had a promising career in Tevinter had Dorian not become a pariah for opposing everything his homeland stands for. Dorian bears his ostracism with pride as he feels Tevinter will only change if someone like him makes a difference.
Involvement
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Seeking to halt what he perceives as the moral decay of his countrymen, he joins the Inquisition.
If the Inquisitor meets with the mages at Redcliffe, Magister Alexius' son, Felix, secretly passes them a note asking to meet in the Chantry. When they arrive, Dorian appears, asking for help in a sealing a Fade rift. After the rift is sealed, Dorian introduces himself and reveals Alexius' allegiance to the Venatori, who are interested in the mark on the Inquisitor's hand. He also reveals that Alexius has invoked time magic, once though theoretical back in Tevinter, which is how he arrived at Redcliffe first.
If the Inquisitor chooses to confront Alexius, Dorian attends the war council in Haven, stating he could help the Inquisition's agents infiltrate Castle Redcliffe and avoid Alexius' magic to surprise his former mentor. Unfortunately, when they do, Alexius pulls out the time amulet to attempt to go back before the Inquisitor interfered with the Elder One's ritual at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, but Dorian interrupts him, accidentally sending both himself and the Inquisitor one year into the future, where the Elder One rules over southern Thedas. They were able to track down the future Alexius and claim the amulet from him. Using it, the two were able to return to the exact moment they left and defeat Alexius. Afterwards, the Inquisitor can choose to recruit Dorian into the Inquisition or not.
Alternatively, if the Inquisitor chose to recruit the templars to seal the Breach, Dorian turns up at Haven to help the Inquisition, warning them that the rebel mages are now under control of the Venatori.
