Standing guard in The Gauntlet, the Guardian was once a disciple of Andraste. He has remained alive for centuries, and will not abandon his guard until the Tevinter Imperium is destroyed.
Background
The Guardian was among the first disciples of Andraste to watch over the temple and prepare the way for pilgrims to honor Andraste. He also tells of how the dragon cult came to be when the ancestor of Kolgrim saw himself as a new prophet. Some disagreed and were slain.

Trivia
- The Guardian wears a Griffon's Helm and the full Diligence Armor Set during The Urn of Sacred Ashes quest, though none of the items are set to be dropped upon his death or stealable from him.
- The Guardian is a clear reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where there was a soldier who had lived for centuries awaiting the day when someone would come and be worthy to choose the Holy Grail. Interestingly, the temple itself bears some similarities to the Indiana Jones temple, where there was a trap that required the person to go solely on faith (walking over a chasm for Indiana Jones, walking through fire for The Warden)
- Ironically the guardian has a high resemblance to Kolgrim
