Gereon Alexius

Gereon Alexius is a Tevinter Magister, member of the Venatori, and mentor to Dorian Pavus. 
== Background ==
Long before he took his place in the Magisterium, Gereon made a name for himself as a magical researcher in the Circle of Minrathous. He investigated the limits of the known magical laws, pushing the boundaries of what ordinary magic could accomplish in traveling through and controlling both time and physical space. His partner for much of his academic career was Lady Livia of House Arida, who specialized in studies of the Veil. 
Gereon's father ceded him his seat in the Magisterium in the hopes of spurring him to political pursuits. Magister Alexius became a tireless champion of education, criticizing his peers for pouring the Imperium's funds into the war with the Qunari at the expense of the Circle and demanding better schooling and institutions of higher learning for the Soporati. He also married his long-time partner Livia Arida, and took a position as professor of thaumaturgy at the Minrathous Circle. 
Their only son, Felix, was born a few years later, and though he showed signs of magical ability very early, it quickly became clear that his talent was limited. Gereon's father, concerned that his heir was "just barely more than a Soporati" tried to have his own grandson assassinated. Lady Livia countered her father in-law's attempt, and then had him killed to safeguard her son's future.
