Rhys

Rhys (born 9:02 Dragon) is a mage originally based out of the White Spire. He is the son of the Fereldan Senior Enchanter Wynne and a templar of Kinloch Hold.
== Background ==
Rhys was born at Kinloch Hold, the son of Senior Enchanter Wynne. He has chiseled features, warm brown eyes, a dark beard and black hair with silvering streaks. He became a Senior Enchanter himself in 9:33 Dragon, under the sponsorship of Enchanter Arvin, a senior mage. He's also a skilled spirit medium, a rare talent which allows him to detect and communicate with demons and spirits.Dragon Age: Asunder, Chapter 3
According to Wynne, Rhys was taken from her shortly after his birth as she was too weak from the birth to stop it. Rhys' father, a templar of Kinloch Hold, however, contends in a rather impassioned letter that Wynne refused to fight to keep their child in order to remain securely in the Circle. He was raised in a Chantry orphanage at the monastery at Lydes until he was eleven years old. At that age his magic manifested and he was brought to the Orlesian Circle of Magi, the White Spire. He became an apprentice to Arvin, a curmudgeonly elderly elven mage. When Arvin was transferred to the consulate in Teraevyn, Tevinter Imperium in 9:15, he took Rhys along. He was sent back to the Spire three years later, after injuring three magister's apprentices in self-defense.Dragon Age: Asunder, Chapter 8 He was apprenticed to three different senior enchanters in turn, and began a long period of research into the nature of demons. He wrote the widely-read Comprehensive Study on Denizens of the Fade in 9:28. It is around this time that he began his association with the Libertarian fraternity. He and fellow mage Adrian often led the White Spire's fraternity and sometimes even served as its representative to the College of Enchanters. Rhys and Adrian were lovers and then remained friends.
All his life Rhys assumed that he had been taken from a Fereldan family. After the Fifth Blight, Wynne came to Rhys and introduced herself. She promised to return, but she never did. The templars didn't realize Rhys and Wynne were related, although the Seekers knew.
