## Biography

### **Early Years in Fereldan**

Leandra Amell was already expecting her first child when she fled from Kirkwall with Malcolm Hawke. The pair settled into a small village outside of Highever where Garrett Malcolm Hawke was born in 9:08 Dragon. The young boy was soon joined by his twin younger siblings: Bethany and Carver in 9:12, finding them both rather dull until they learned how to walk. Once they were in a better position to follow after their big brother, he was soon teaching them all the important lessons of childhood such as proper mudpie consistency and what sort of flowers made mother smile as long as you didn’t bring all the roots and dirt into the house as well.

He was nine when he started showing magical abilities, leading his parents to make the hard decision to train Garrett themselves rather than lose him to the Circle. His unfortunate lack of control at first though led to the family moving to South Reach and finding somewhere a little more away from civilization. It wouldn’t be the first move the family would have to make for the sake of their mage children either as Bethany joined lessons with Garrett and Malcolm, occasionally having an accident that led to another move. Eventually, they were able to settle just outside of Lothering and start to really build roots in the town while still hiding the three apostates now living there.

Garrett was quickly developing into a charming if occasionally awkward teenager. He was fifteen when he got into a relationship with  Madeline Grimes though the two were more experimenting than anything for most of their time together, eventually just getting bored and finding interest in other people which led to the breakup. Nellie was a little more exciting but rather short-lived once her father caught wind of her “canoodling with that Hawke boy”.

And then there was Philip. Philip Calandri started off as Garrett requesting sword lessons from the slightly older young man when he was sixteen. He was the first to start referring to Garrett as “Hawke”, a title he quickly clung onto as his own. At first, it was simply something to put off the Templars on the off chance they ever caught him running around with a staff, but Hawke’s crush on Philip was soon requited into the first relationship Hawke would consider actual “love” rather than just an infatuation.

This time though it was Garrett that almost led to the family having to move again. Another one of the boys from town had cornered him in the barn where he and Carver were picking up work, bullying Hawke about his relationship. He’s not sure if he’d actually call it an accident that the boy’s hair lit on fire, but Carver was quick to suggest the lamp there had already been lit and his brother’s only crime was not looking where he was shoving the boy. Garrett still was grounded for the incident but decided afterward to come clean with Philip and tell him that he was a mage.

It did not go as well as Garrett had hoped though. Philip promised to keep his secret but broke up with him, soon after leaving to join the newly crowned King Cailan’s armies in Denerim. Hawke was heartbroken in the aftermath and put more of his focus into his studies with his father and occasionally finding work to keep the family going. He had a very brief relationship with one of the elves when the Dalish camped near Lothering, but it had always been just something for fun with her from day one. He tried again with a fellow farmworker named Lucius, but once again found himself broken up with as soon as he told him about his magic, leading Garrett to change jobs.

The following year Malcolm ended up quickly falling ill after some mercenary work. The whole family ended up quarantined for the plague, although thankfully not from the blight. Bethany and Carver were able to avoid catching it as well with Leandra and Garrett both getting sick but surviving. Malcolm was not so lucky and fell into a coma before peacefully dying. Garrett was nineteen.

Garrett dealt with his grief by throwing himself into his new position as head of the house, allowing Leandra time to mourn, and finding work wherever someone was willing to hire him. Before it had been mostly assisting farmers during the harvest season, but now he was throwing himself into shop work as the winter set in as well as helping with planting when spring rolled back around.

It was almost a year later when Sophia de Silva entered his life. She enjoyed his occasionally awkward jokes and made sure there was always a position available for him or one of his siblings if they wanted to work at her family’s haberdashery. He was still a little reluctant to end up ruining it now that he had a good thing in his life again, but unlike the others Sophia just took his magic in stride and insisted that she knew he’d never hurt her. It slowly had gotten to where a lot of Lothering were waiting to see when the two might announce their engagement.

Life had other plans. Sophia and her family were packed to head north when the rumors of the blight had spread to Lothering, planning to head to Highever or Denerim for safety. Bidding her farewell with the promise to find her as soon as he had somewhere his family would be safe would be the last he’d see of her though. The Hawkes were off their own direction as soon as Carver returned from Ostagar with reports that all had been lost and their only option would be to flee.

### Kirkwall

Hawke and family soon found themselves running into the one Templar that hadn’t already fled long ago and his wife. Deciding to work together long enough to get to safety though, they soon found themselves surrounded by Darkspawn and Bethany lost after trying to protect their mother from an ogre. If it weren’t for the timely intervention of a dragon-turned-witch named Flemeth, he’s not sure the rest of them would have gotten out of it alive. The Templar, Wesley, had unfortunately already caught the blight and Garrett had to gently remind his wife Aveline that it wasn’t his decision to make about easing him toward the Maker. With nowhere else to go and the promise of a favor returned, Flemeth assisted the group to a ship toward the Free Marches.

Getting into Kirkwall was almost as difficult as the journey there with the city already being flooded with Fereldan refugees. Their hopes of their nobleman uncle were quickly dashed as well when Gamlen revealed that the money and estate were both gone, leaving them with accepting indentured servitude in order to pay their way into the city. They reluctantly agreed, bringing Aveline with them, and joined Athenril and her smugglers.
