Revision as of 03:26, 31 October 2013

Tower Guard is a guard stationed at the Tower of Ishal in Ostagar and a possible temporary companion to the Warden.

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.

The Warden can first speak to him after arriving in Ostagar with Duncan. He'll explain that the tower is off-limits on Teyrn Loghain's orders while they secure the tower.

Once the Battle of Ostagar begins and the Warden along with Alistair go to the tower as part of Tower of Ishal (quest), the tower guard as soon as he notices them, runs towards them, in order to inform them that the tower is overrun by darkspawn coming from the ground via tunnels. If the Warden is not of Human Noble Origin he will then join the party in order to assist the Wardens with reaching the top of the tower and lighting the beacon.

Once this is done, darkspawn soon overrun their position, however Flemeth in her High dragon form saves the Warden and Alistair. Since Tower Guard wasn't saved by Flemeth it can be presumed that he was overrun and killed by the darkspawn. However considering that he may not join the Warden's party, his overall fate remains unknown.
