“My retribution is eternal, as is my pain. This is justice.”
Zathrian is the keeper of a clan of Dalish elves found at the Dalish Camp in the Brecilian Forest during the events of the Nature of the Beast.
Background
Involvement
He talks little of his past, but speaks earnestly of the problem faced by his people. His clan has been attacked by a pack of werewolves, led by Witherfang. As a result, many of his clan have been infected with lycanthropy. When the Warden asks him to join the fight against Blight, he asks for Witherfang's death and for its heart to be brought back so that a cure might be made. In exchange, the elves will join the fight against the Blight. But as the party may find out, Zathrian may not have told the whole story. One way the Warden can learn more of the conflict is to persuade his first, Lanaya, to tell them. She will be able to tell the warden why Zathrian has such strong views on Witherfang, though the whole of his story will remain a mystery until the final confrontation with Witherfang.
The Warden has the option of choosing whether Zathrian lives or dies. If the Warden asks Zathrian to end the curse he will initially refuse and attack the party. Once defeated Zathrian will relent and end the curse, thus ending his life. If the Warden sides with the werewolves and attacks the Dalish camp Zathrian will be killed defending the camp. Finally, if the Warden side with Zathrian by killing Witherfang, he will continue to lead his clan, unless the Warden decides to turn against him before returning to camp. If the Warden sided with the elves and killed Witherfang, Zathrian will appear as an ally atop the roof of Fort Drakon during the final battle against the Archdemon ( only).
If he survives the events of the Fifth Blight in the epilogue it is stated that Zathrian disappears.
