Octavius

== Background ==
Octavius was born and raised in tevinter and became a scholar in magical lore. He didn't have many friends growing up and would spend most of his time isolated in the library with his nose buried in a book. He earned archon Radonis' attention when he uncovered an ancient Tevinter artifact, the magrallen, and put it into working order. He became very trusted to the Archon and was one of the only people privy to Radonis' true plans to revive the old god Zazikel.
As per Radonis' orders he located someone with dragon blood, Tyra Cousland, the daughter of a fereldan noble. He needed to drain her so that Radonis could give her blood to Zazikel. He infiltrated Castle Cousland with the help of Ethel Hecate and summoned the demon Desire to trap key inhabitants in the fade while he fulfilled his mission. He forced Tyra into the magrallen and had Desire put her into the fade as well.
