Codex text

"Most people enjoy being kicked in the head to be woken each morning. Me, I'm just so picky."

Anders is an apostate mage. He was arrested by templars who intended to cart him back to the Circle Tower; Vigil's Keep was to have been a short stop on the long journey. Unfortunately, the keep was attacked just after the group arrived, and Anders was found standing over the bodies of his captors. He insists they were killed by darkspawn.

Regardless, Anders joined the Warden to defeat the darkspawn in Vigil's Keep.
