Down Among the Dead Men

After Lord Penrick Karn's funeral procession is interrupted by his corpse's premature possession and escape, Audric Felhausen, a Nevarra City guardsman who was attacked during the funeral, is summoned by the Mortalitasi to help with their investigation. Emmrich is one of the Mourn Watchers tasked with putting the spirit at rest. He locates the remains of Lord Penrick Karn, enabling Audric and fellow Watcher Myrna to send his spirit away. During the investigation, Audric also realizes that he's actually a spirit, the "real" Audric having been killed during the funeral attack. Once the task is successfully completed, Myrna and Audric return to Emmrich's den, where they discuss Audric's fate. They decide that he'll do best in the role of librarian, under the supervision of Myrna.

Short Story: The Flame Eternal

In 9:22 Dragon, Emmrich and a fellow Mourn Watcher called Johanna Hezenkoss put a spirit at rest by reuniting him with the remains of his wife. Johanna notes that Emmrich is very talented and that he has honed his skills in sub-astral manifestation.

Notes

In Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights, his last name is spelled Volkahrin.
