The Marquis of Serault is the player-controlled protagonist of Dragon Age: The Last Court. The player chooses either The Huntress (female) or The Scholar (male), each with different skills and abilities. The Marquis must navigate an important visit to the region from a notable person as well as maintain the safety, wealth and respect of the region during numerous difficulties and encounters during that time. The Marquis is approximately thirty years old.[1]

Background

The Marquis is the young ruler of the marquisate of Serault, a domain located in the far west of Orlais. It is a realm of deep forests, stubborn people, and customs that border on heresy. The citizens of the region are largely craftsmen and the pride of the marquisate is its famed glasswork.

The Huntress

“Raised to rule. Trained in bow, sword and steed. Fearless.”

The Huntress character is valiant and fearless and cares little for book learning.

The Scholar

“You divide your time between the great hall and the library's hush. This is your chance to free Serault from the shackles of tradition. Seize it.”

The Scholar is a better ruler and is learned, cunning, and a poor hunter.

Involvement

The former Marquis of Serault was an apostate mage, who later became an abomination. He was described as brilliant, murderous, generous, romantic, ruthless, but eventually he brought shame to the marquisate. His name now forgotten; he is known only as the Shame of Serault. This history continues to haunt the region and colors the interaction the player has with other characters as well events that take place in the game.

Through the navigation of Orlesian politics, force of arms, flattery and trade, the Marquis advances through the challenges of Dragon Age: The Last Court. This involves interacting with various nobles and commoners, settling disputes and organizing events. Through the Marquis's action or inaction, calamity or prosperity may befall both the player and the domain.

The Marquis is aided in their efforts by their ability to gather companions: the Seneschal, a Counselor, a Lover, a Bodyguard, and an Accomplice.
