Dragon Age II.


As Hawke's party returns to the surface after the Deep Roads expedition, Bethany or Carver will have contracted the darkspawn taint if they were brought in the expedition. If Anders is also part of the expedition, he will propose to search for a Grey Warden in the area to ask him to let Bethany or Carver join the order. That Grey Warden is Stroud.

After some negotiations with Anders, Stroud will let Hawke's sibling attempt to join the Grey Wardens, saying that Anders and he will then be even. Bethany/Carver will survive the initiation off-screen but will leave the party until the end of the game.

If Alistair did not remain with the Grey Wardens, Stroud will get another appearance during the massacre of Lowtown by the Qunari. Hawke will encounter Stroud, along with two male Wardens (and possibly Bethany or Carver) fighting a group of Qunari. After the battle, he announces that he cannot stay to help because he must return to his mission, and that Grey Wardens cannot get involved in political struggles. Stroud will give Hawke the Warden's Promise ring before leaving.

Stroud is mentioned in the Legacy DLC if Bethany/Carver becomes a Grey Warden. Janeka will state that Stroud refused her request to take Bethany/Carver from his command in her efforts to free Corypheus.
