Comte Guillaume de Launcet is a minor noble from Orlais. For whatever reasons, he and his wife live in Kirkwall.

Background[]

Guillaume de Launcet was the eldest son of Comte Reynaud de Launcet, a minor Orlesian noble. As a child, Guillaume was betrothed to Leandra Amell.[1] The next summer Guillaume met Leandra for the first time at his father's country estate.

Several years after their betrothal, Leandra fell in love with Malcolm Hawke, a mage, and fell pregnant with his child. She briefly considered marrying Guillaume and passing the baby off as his. When Leandra went to break off her relationship with Malcolm, he used the opportunity to propose. Leandra accepted Malcolm's proposal and left for Ferelden with him.[2]

Sometime after Leandra broke off their engagement, Guillaume met and married a woman named Dulci with whom he had several children. One of their children, Emile was discovered to be a mage at the age of six, and was taken to the Kirkwall Circle of Magi.

Involvement[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Guillaume is involved in the quest On The Loose.

After Knight-Commander Meredith asks Hawke to retrieve three magi who have escaped the Circle, Hawke goes to the de Launcet manor in Hightown. There, while Hawke talks to Dulci about Emile, Guillaume bursts into the room and begins to rant about how much trouble his son is causing. Dulci then reveals that she gave Emile some money to leave Kirkwall and begin a new life. Hawke must then go to The Hanged Man and talk to Emile. Emile can be turned in to the Templars or allowed to leave in order to start his new life outside of Kirkwall. If Emile is allowed to leave, Dulci sends Hawke a thank you letter along with some gold. If Emile returns to the Circle and is allowed to sleep with a tavern girl named Nella, Meredith will claim that she wanted to have Emile executed immediately, but that Guillaume made an impassioned plea in his defense and depending upon Hawke's response, Meredith will also claim that Guillaume implied that Emile was an idiot. Nella will then come to the de Launcet manor, claiming to be pregnant with his child; Guillaume comments that he should hide her on the country estate. Guillaume will also send Hawke a thank you letter along with some gold in this instance.
