Jowan

Jowan is an apprentice mage in the Circle Tower, where he had lived ever since his father left him at the village chantry at the age of five or six. His mother thought of him as an abomination. He is a friend of the Magi Warden and a temporary companion during the Magi Origin.

During the final stages of the Mage Origin storyline, you don't have to worry about future statistic/skill allocation with Jowan but be sure to make the most of what you're provided with. The player should be able to equip Jowan with a staff and potentially a Charm of Flame (that adds 5% Fire Damage, assuming the player is not a primal mage and is using it themselves). Take advantage of Jowan's Flaming Weapons spell, as the player will also be accompanied by Lily (who has Dual-Weapon Training). Be careful, however, Flame Blast causes friendly fire.
When he is encountered again during the Arl of Redcliffe quest line, his skills will have advanced considerably (but he will only be accessible as a temporary companion if chosen to enter the Fade to face off against the Desire Demon).
During the quest the Arl of Redcliffe, Jowan's level will match that of the Warden (which typically is at level 14 by this point).
== Quotes ==
* "They'll take everything that I am from me-- my dreams, hopes, fears... My love for Lily. All gone..."
* "Am I not allowed to have regrets?"
* "Ambiguous rubbish, it could mean anything. I can do it too: 'The sun grows dark, but lo! Here comes the dawn!'"
* "I've been here longer than you have. Sometimes I think they just don't want to test me."
== Trivia ==
* When playing as a female Warden and discussing "the plan", the dialogue option "Why haven't we ever...", implies pursuing a romantic and/or sexual relationship could have been explored in the future. Jowan appears to be oblivious as to how the Warden felt and states that they are "like a sister" to him. The Warden can then admit that they do have feelings towards him or reveal that they were just joking. Either way, Jowan will remain confused as to why they would mention this to him now, and will simply drop the subject entirely.
** Jowan was originally scripted to be a temporary party member that the Warden could take around within Redcliffe castle. Eventually this role was expanded into becoming a full party Companion to the Warden. The Warden would have used the Right of Conscription to recruit him after healing Arl Eamon. According to David Gaider, his role as a full party member was never fully completed while his role as a temporary party member in Redcliffe castle was only cut late in production.Gaider, David https://web.archive.org/web/20151105102945/http://forum.bioware.com/topic/22210-dlc-idea-recruit-jowan/page-3
* Jowan does not appear in the Dragon Age Keep.
