Arl Rendon Howe is a character the Player Character will meet in the Human Noble origin. He is an old friend of Teyrn Bryce Cousland.
Rendon is voiced by Tim Curry
Background
He was born during the occupation, and like many of the nobles at the time, he joined the future King Maric’s rebels. He fought alongside the young Teyrn Bryce Cousland of Highever, and Leonas Bryland, future arl of South Reach, at the bloody battle of White River. It was the most catastrophic defeat of the entire occupation, from which only 50 rebel soldiers escaped alive. Although he was decorated for valor by King Maric, Howe’s abrasive manners have earned him almost universal dislike among his peers.
Involvement
The night after Fergus Cousland leaves Highever to answer King Cailan Theirin's call for aid against the darkspawn at Ostagar, Howe's soldiers attack the Cousland household, seemingly emerging victorious. However, the Player Character is able to escape the attack with Duncan. What reasons Howe has for attacking the Couslands in the first place is thus far unknown, though some articles have suggested that he is quite hungry for power. Howe's role appears to go beyond the Human Noble Origin, as he is seen being friendly with Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir in one video.
