King Endrin Aeducan is the current king of the dwarves in Orzammar and the father of the Dwarf Noble as well as the Dwarf Nobles' brothers Prince Trian Aeducan and Prince Bhelen Aeducan.

Background

King Endrin of House Aeducan traces his ancestry back to the Paragon Aeducan, the greatest warrior of Orzammar's history, who beat back the darkspawn hordes in the First Blight. The second son of King Ansgar Aeducan, he became heir after his elder brother died in a Proving. The most respected king in four generations, he restored contact with Kal-Sharok, the only other remaining city of the once-vast Dwarven Empire, which had been lost during the First Blight.

Involvement

In the Dwarf Noble origin, Endrin exiles the Dwarf Noble, after believing that the future warden was responsible for Trian's death. This is subject to what the warden says when standing over Trian's body and talking to Lord Pyral Harrowmont.

When the Warden arrives in Orzammar, it is revealed that he died of grief, after Trian's death and his second child's exile (the Dwarf Noble). This leads to the political unrest in Orzammar.

If the Dwarf Noble resolves the quest Of Noble Birth, and regains his son's noble status, he may name his son Endrin.

Also, if the player is a Dwarf Commoner, and Bhelen becomes king, Bhelen and Rica's son is also named Endrin.
