Magister Tractus Danarius is the bastard son of Magister Danarius.
Background[]
Tractus is the last Danarius, as Fenris has killed both Magister Danarius and his other heirs. He has only recently been recognized as such; Nenealeus says he was the one who convinced the Venatori to accept him as Danarius' heir.
Involvement[]
Dragon Age: Blue Wraith[]
Dragon Age: Dark Fortress[]
Tractus welcomes Magister Nenealeus, Cedric Marquette and Shirallas into Castellum Tenebris to carry out the ritual that will empower Shirallas with red lyrium. However, Tractus quickly finds himself sidelined by Nenealeus, who dismisses him as an idiot and throws him out of his own fortress by threatening to use Shirallas' skills as a mage-killer.
Fenris overpowers Tractus
Tractus goes to drown his sorrows in nearby Neromenian, where he is intercepted by Ser Aaron's group. While Ser Aaron, Francesca, Marius, and Tessa Forsythia act as lookouts, Vaea, Fenris, and Autumn directly confront Tractus in his room at the tavern. A fight immediately breaks out as Tractus recognizes Fenris as his father's killer, but Fenris is able to gain the upper hand. After being tortured by Fenris, Tractus reveals that the secret passage only opens from the inside and says they won't be able to make it across the bridge. He also says that the ritual will take place that same night. Having obtained the information they needed, Fenris moves to kill Tractus but is stopped by Vaea, who argues that Tractus was just a child when Fenris was last with Danarius and that they need to leave immediately, as the Qunari have just invaded the city. Fenris leaves Tractus tied up in his room for the Qunari to find. When they do, he is once again tortured and tells them of the ritual that will take place in Castellum Tenebris. Despite his injuries, Tractus successfully escapes the Qunari. They don't give chase, as they expect him to go back to Tenebris, which they already intend to destroy.
After Castellum Tenebris falls to the Qunari, Cedric Marquette steals a horse in the confusion and escapes with the lyrium idol. He is intercepted by Tractus, who threatens to kill him if he doesn't hand it over. As Tractus later makes his way to the Venatori to offer them the idol to regain their favor, Solas spies on him via an Eluvian.
Notes[]
- It's not clear whether Tractus is the Tevinter mage from House Danarius that the Mortalitasi describes in her tale in The Dread Wolf Takes You.
