First Enchanter is the title given to the head of a Circle. The first enchanter is seen by apprentices as a father or mother figure, and an ambassador of peace to the templars by the other mages. First enchanters traditionally wear black robes.[1]
Background
A first enchanter is appointed by the Knight-Commander from among the Circle's senior enchanters, generally with the approval of the Circle's mages.[2] A first enchanter is usually someone who is respected by all mages and usually the templars too, and he or she is not always chosen based off their power and abilities.
A first enchanter officially has a broad range of powers. Their permission or consent is needed:
- for a mage to leave the tower;
- for templars to summon an apprentice for the Harrowing;
- for templars to make a mage Tranquil;
- for templars to move overtly against a Circle mage suspected of practicing forbidden magic.
However, the extent to which the templars allow a first enchanter to exercise their powers varies from tower to tower.
First enchanters routinely congregate in the city of Cumberland, at their College. There they elect a new Grand Enchanter every few years.

Notes

- Irving may die depending on the outcomes of certain quests in Dragon Age: Origins; he is alive, however, in David Gaider's novel Dragon Age: Asunder.
