Ser '''Wesley Vallen''' is a [[Templar Order|templar]]. He was not based in [[Lothering]], but headed there after hearing of the [[Battle of Ostagar|events]] at [[Ostagar]] in search of his wife [[Aveline Vallen|Aveline]], who was serving as a [[Ferelden|Fereldan]] soldier.

== Involvement ==
{{SpoilerDA2|style=short|
While fleeing Lothering, [[Hawke]] encounters Wesley and his wife, [[Aveline Vallen|Aveline]], battling [[Darkspawn]]. As they defend themselves, Wesley is cut across the arm and almost killed by a [[Hurlock]], but is saved when Aveline tackles, beats and decapitates it. Still surrounded and outnumbered, the two are saved by the Hawke family. Wesley is initially hostile towards [[Bethany Hawke|Bethany]] (and also Hawke if a [[Mage (Dragon Age II)|mage]]), but relents out of gratitude for saving them and due to Aveline's insistence. She suggests that she and Wesley go with them to [[Gwaren]] and take a ship to [[Kirkwall]]. When Hawke's sibling dies, Wesley offers a prayer for them to comfort Leandra.

After [[Flemeth]] saves Hawke and company from the darkspawn attack, it is revealed that Wesley has been corrupted by the darkspawn [[taint]].

== Fate ==
Due to the Darkspawn taint, Wesley will not survive. Either Aveline or Hawke can grant him a quick death.

If Hawke chooses to let Aveline decide Wesley's fate:
* {{Approval2|Aveline|+10}} 
If Hawke encourages Aveline to put him out of his misery: 
* {{Approval2|Aveline|-10}}
If Hawke offers to kill Wesley:
* {{Approval2|Aveline|-10}}

== Trivia ==
* Wesley is the first example shown of a married templar.
