== Strategy ==
If the party did not kill Sophia and you side with Avernus against her, he may cast fireballs, which will badly injure your party; he will then take you to seal the Veil immediately, so prepare potions to survive the fight.
The Warden may choose to execute Avernus after sealing the Veil. Alternatively, the Warden may choose to endorse his research or command him to help the Wardens using his research in ethical ways. Avernus says that he is close to a breakthrough in his research and will report any discoveries. This will result in a level bonus in Dragon Age II.
Each time Avernus transits to a different map, you can Steal from him again.
== Quotes ==
* "Blood magic comes from demons; they could counter every bit of lore I possess. But the darkspawn taint, that is alien to them. And it has power."
* (In response to Leliana's comment about how his actions are forbidden by the Maker) "Short-sighted men have forbidden my research, not any god."
=== Dialogue ===
* Warden: "You practiced blood magic on the nobles?"
* Avernus: "Of course. To nudge people, to keep our secret safe."
