Fenris

Fenris is an elven warrior and fugitive slave from Tevinter. As a result, he is extremely distrustful of mages, and is more than happy to help fellow slaves. He is a potential companion of Hawke and a romance option for either male or female Hawke.
== Background ==
Once a slave of a Tevinter magister called Danarius, Fenris is covered in a series of lyrium-infused markings, which grant him the unnatural ability to phase through solid objects, which is somehow connected to the Fade. Fenris often uses this ability as a weapon, phasing through individuals and solidifying, killing them instantly. However, these markings are also extremely sensitive, and touching them often results in physical discomfort. Because of this, he has an aversion towards being touched.

== Friendship and rivalry ==
Friendship with Fenris can generally be earned by siding against any mages, not coddling him when he talks about his problems but understanding them, being ruthless to slavers and being kind to the innocents--particularly elves and slaves--in the game.
Rivalry with Fenris can generally be earned by siding with any mages in the game, or by dealing with slavers. Notably, he will still side with you if you do choose to help the mages.
== Romance ==
Fenris can be romanced by either a male or female Hawke. Due to his strong aversion to mages and blood magic, a Hawke looking to fulfill a friendly romance with Fenris must either follow his views on magic, or leave him behind on missions where the player will be siding with or aiding mages. If the player would like to pursue the rival romance, it doesn't matter if Hawke clashes with Fenris. In spite of his opinion of mages, Fenris will be no less attracted to a mage Hawke.

== Quotes ==
* (About "evil" magisters) "I have no doubt that some are good and noble men, strong enough to resist temptation. But how many temptations do you wish to offer a man before he will give in?"
* (To Merrill's defense of demons) "'Ignore the tiger. Not its fault that it's going to eat you.' Sound advice."
* "What has magic touched that it doesn't spoil?"
* "Now the battle awaits us. Na via lerno victoria. 'Only the living know victory.' Fight well."
* (To Anders questioning origin of the Darkspawn) "Is it so hard for you to believe the magisters would be arrogant enough to challenge the Maker? You need to meet more magisters."
* "Am I supposed to forgive, no matter how many times they hunt me down? Am I supposed to forget all the things they've done to me?"
=== Dialogue ===
* Fenris: You realize this is a cause you can't hope to win. 
* Hawke: I thought freedom from slavery meant something to you. 
* Fenris: I uh.... *looks at Meredith* I have changed my mind, human.
* Orana: Everything was fine until today!
* Fenris: It wasn't. You just didn't know any better.

== Trivia ==
* David Gaider wrote Fenris in Dragon Age II and the Fenris short story.
** In 2015, Gaider began work on a book focused on Fenris. The book was cancelled after Gaider's departure from BioWare.
* Fenris is a name given to him by Danarius, meaning "Little Wolf."
* Fenris was told that he was originally from Seheron.Dialogue with Hawke during Act 1.
* Fenris primarily swears in Tevene, but occasionally will break into meditation-like comments on the fight. He has one of the few sound-sets that never actually yells during combat.
*Fenris apparently has some knowledge of Qunlat and can address the Arishok in the language if present for Blackpowder Courtesy, though Tallis comments on his pronunciation being poor.Party banter during Mark of the Assassin.
* Fenris has a particular dislike for fishAs shown at the docks during the quest Gamlen's Greatest Treasure but likes apples.Party banter with Sebastian.
* Fenris has an especially soft spot for dogs, as evidenced by his conversation with Hawke and their mabari and commentary from Dragon Age: Dark Fortress writer Nunzio DeFilippis.
* While the horse Fenris rides in Dragon Age: Blue Wraith is never referred to by name, Fenris would possibly name his horse "something functional, like 'Horse.' But then there’s the side of him which sweet talks Autumn, so he may have a cute name for his horse too. Maybe a combo, so he can pretend to not care. Like 'Princess Horse,'" according a fan question answered on Nunzio DeFilippis' Tumblr.
* Fenris cannot always control his lyrium markings.Dragon Age: Blue Wraith, issue 2
* Fenris plays cards regularly, with Varric Tethras, Isabela,Banter between Fenris and Varric AndersBanter between Varric and Anders during Legacy and Donnic HendyrBanter between Fenris and Aveline among other people. In Act 3, he hosts a weekly game of Diamondback at his mansion.
* In Act 3 and Legacy, if neither Isabela nor Fenris have been romanced, then party banter between Fenris and Isabela will suggest that they are in an intimate relationship, although it is apparently purely physical.
* The moniker "Blue Wraith" is a play on Fenris's Lyrium Ghost ability, given that the word "ghost" is rarely mentioned in the Dragon Age series and not everyone he encounters would recognize his glowing markings as being made of lyrium.
* Fenris, as a former slave, never learned how to read. Dialogue with Hawke can open up the option to teach him how, which can lead to a comment by Hawke when selecting the bookcase at the Hawke estate in Hightown.
* In Heroes of Dragon Age, "Slave Fenris" is classed as a rogue, rather than a warrior.
