A Missing Child

A Missing Child is a side quest in Dragon Age: Origins. Kaitlyn needs help finding her missing brother, Bevin, in the undead-plagued Redcliffe Village. If the Warden speaks to Kaitlyn, who is sobbing inside the Redcliffe Village Chantry next to the chantry door, she will ask you to find him.
You must complete this before the nighttime battle.
== Walkthrough ==
Telling Kaitlyn not to worry and that you will look for her brother raises Wynne's approval by and Leliana's by .
If, on the other hand, you tell her you'll leave her to her snivelling, Morrigan's approval increases by . In this case you can still receive and complete the quest by talking to Bevin.
Step outside the Chantry, turn right and The Warden will be facing towards Kaitlyn's House.
=== Kaitlyn's House ===
Head inside and enter the bedroom to the right. The Warden will find Bevin hiding in a dresser. Wynne will order Bevin to come out immediately. Sten will threaten to burn him out.
The Warden may:
* Persuade/Intimidate Bevin to say why he was in the house. He will tell you about his grandfather's sword that he wanted to use to defend the town, but was too young to lift.
* Persuade/Intimidate Bevin to give you the key to the chest that contains the sword, or promise to pay Kaitlyn for the sword afterwards. He will give you the key. The Warden may head upstairs and retrieve the sword from the chest. Bevin will be at the Chantry when you return.
* Fail to Persuade/Intimidate Bevin. Bevin will refuse to cooperate and run back to the Chantry. You will not be able to ask about the sword afterwards.
* Not ask for the sword at all. The chest can only opened with the key and the key can only be obtained through the initial conversation with Bevin, so in this case the sword can no longer be obtained.
=== Return to the Chantry ===

== Result ==
* Other than the money you may lose, you will receive The Green Blade, a decent one-handed sword.
* If you opt to return the sword after the battle it will be reported in the Epilogue that Bevin became a famous adventurer and told stories about how as a young lad, he met The Warden, who used his father's blade to save Redcliffe and then passed it back.
* If Kaitlyn and Bevin are sent to Denerim with enough money, then the Epilogue will report that Kaitlyn and Bann Teagan eventually met in Denerim and married.
== Rewards ==
* 100 XP - Received after talking to Kaitlyn, for returning Bevin to her.
== Bugs ==
* If the Warden elects to return The Green Blade after the battle, Kaitlyn will take it; however, the item remains in the Warden's inventory after the quest is completed. This is confirmed to happen if the sword is assigned to a companion who is not currently in the party at the time; otherwise it will be removed correctly.
* If the Warden attempts to return The Green Blade to Kaitlyn after the battle and has it equipped, she will take it and you will net the approval and disapproval values from the various party members; however the blade will remain in your inventory and equipped to the Warden.
* You cannot complete this quest after the battle in Redcliffe Village, but it will remain in your quest log.
* As of Patch 1.04 the quest will update if you don't complete it before the Redcliffe village battle, saying:
"Night fell and the undead creatures started attacking Redcliffe before you could locate Bevin. You don't know if Kaitlyn ever found her brother and made it to safety, and perhaps you'll never find out"
