Note: this is just the stuff in each character’s dedicated section in WoT V2. Things that we’ve learned through the previous WoT and in-game is omitted. This is just biographical stuff like ages and family names and places they’ve been, not any of the stories about them.

Includes DLC companions who were mentioned in WoT V2.

Alistair Theirin

• Sent to the monastery at Bournshire in 9:20.
• Recruited by the Grey Wardens in 9:29.
• There was a Royal Inquest in 9:31 into who his parents are; the results were inconclusive.
• Goldanna apparently survived the Blight because she testified at the Inquest.

Morrigan

• First reports of Morrigan were when she appeared in the village of Merinwood on the outskirts of the Korcari Wilds.
• A templar reports her turning into a bird when she was 12.
• In 9:20 (”a number of years later”) she was observed watching a group of Avvar hunters.
• At some point after that she was reported by a villager as having turned into a bear.
• Appeared in the Orlesian court around the time of the beginning of the mage rebellion.
• Based on all of the numbers and dates, I’d guess Morrigan to have been born around 9:02 to 9:05. This makes her roughly 25-28 in Origins and 36-38 in Inquisition.

Leliana (this info is the same as the Inquisition bio)

• Her mother’s name was Oisine. She died just after Leliana turned four.
• Lady Cecilie’s surname is Vasseur.
• Leliana first went to Val Royeaux when she was 16, and met Marjolaine at the ball there.
• Beatrix III died in 9:34, and Dorothea became Justinia V and Leliana her Left Hand.

Wynne

• Named for the village where she was captured by Templars, Langwynne.
• Harrowed just before she turned 17.
• Aneirin was assigned to her as apprentice when she was 19.
• She became pregnant with Rhys one year after Aneirin’s (assumed) death.
• Rhys was born in 9:02 according to his section, which makes Wynne born in 8:82. She was thus 48 in Origins and roughly 58 at the time of her death in Asunder.

Zevran Araini

• Zevran’s father was executed in 9:04.
• Purchased by the Crows in 9:12 at the age of seven.
• Taliesin was purchased from a Tevinter wreck at Llomerryn the same year.
• House Araini was First Talon of the Crows in 9:12, Second Talon in 9:16.
• Rinnala (Rinna) became part of their House in 9:16, “another of Prince Estefan’s bastards.”
• Rinna, Taliesin, and Zevran were apprenticed by Master Eoman Araini as a single unit, and Zevran had completed seventeen missions by 9:24.
• In 9:28, Rinna’s death was part of an agreement with House Valisti to put forth Claudio Valisti as heir to King Natale instead of Rinna. House Araini became Eighth Talon with Master Eoman raised to Grandmaster in exchange for this.
• Grandmaster Eoman was killed four months after the end of the Fifth Blight. Other Crow murders followed.
• It appears from all of this that Zevran was born in 9:04 or early 9:05. This makes him 25 at the time of Origins and 36 at the time of Inquisition.

Oghren Kondrat

• House Kondrat was a minor Warrior Caste house.
• His marriage to Branka was arranged.
• Branka became a Paragon a year after they married.
• House Kondrat voted to be absorbed into the new Smith Caste House Branka.
• He and Felsi had been interested in each other before he married Branka; when she left for the Anvil of the Void they rekindled things.
• Felsi belonged to a Merchant Caste family.
• The noble that Oghren killed in a duel (leading to Oghren being forbidden weapons) was Lord Meino’s youngest son.
• He became a Warden after he dropped his and Felsi’s baby twice due to his drinking.
• Branka became a Paragon in 9:10, so I’d guess that Oghren was born in roughly 8:90, making him roughly 40 in Origins.

Shale

• She volunteered to become a golem in -255 Ancient.
• Wilhelm found Shale in the Deep Roads in 8:93.
• Shale killed Wilhelm in 9:04.
• Last seen bound for the Circle of Montsimmard and hasn’t been seen since.

Sten of the Beresaad

• In 9:03 he was assigned to guarding the port of Seheron, a job given to young warriors, and was assigned there for three years.
• He learned languages by asking foreigners at the port.
• In 9:12 he was a karasaad leading the beresaad in a naval attack on Qarinus.
• He has a reputation for being curious which is really unusual for qunari.
• Based on these numbers and dates, I’d guess Sten was born somewhere around 8:90 – kids get their job assignments when they’re 12, so him being at the port in 9:03 means he was likely around that age then. This puts him at roughly 40 in Origins.

Loghain

• Met his wife, Maeve, when she confronted him about his refusal to live in the broken-down Gwaren castle. He hired her to supervise its refitting.
  (In Origins her name is given as Celia, so who knows WTF).
• In 9:10 Anora started traveling to Denerim with Loghain.
• Loghain is awesome at braiding hair and turning bloody battles into bedtime stories.
• Maeve died in 9:28, after which Loghain never returned to Gwaren.

Nathaniel Howe

• Mother is Eliane Bryland, an herbalist and physician, also sister of Arl Leonas Bryland of South Reach.
• He squired in the Free Marches under Eliane’s cousin Ser Rudolphe Varley, an Orlesian-born chevalier who was part of the Vael court in Starkhaven.
• Nathaniel learned archery from one of Ser Rudolphe’s archers despite Rudolphe’s disapproval.
• Spent eight years with Ser Rudolphe, leaving only to remove the embarrassment of the Howe name from the household after the Fifth Blight.

Velanna

• Seranni is two years younger.
• She was nine when she discovered her magic.
• She became First to Keeper Ilshae almost immediately.
• She left her clan when given a choice by the Keeper: to not get vengeance or to leave. Some others, including Seranni, joined her when she left.
• The Seeker was acting on the orders of the Architect when he killed Velanna’s clan offshoot and framed humans.
• Faladhin became First after Velanna left, and became Keeper after Ilshae.

Sigrun

• Her mother’s name was Jana
• They lived with Jana’s brother Boro, his wife, and their four children in a shack in Dust Town.
• Mischa was a shop owner who caught Sigrun stealing food but paid for it instead of turning her in to the other shopkeeper. She offered Sigrun a job running errands. Sigrun framed her for stealing a statue of Paragon Bemot, which got Mischa exiled to the surface.
• She joined the legion after a Warrior Caste guard died chasing her after she stole Damira Helmi’s purse.
• Varlan Vollney taught her to read and write.

Anders (this info is the same as the DA2 bio) 

• His father was from the Anderfels, but came to Ferelden as a boy.
• Anders was born in a small farming village in Ferelden.
• He accidentally set the family’s farm on fire when he was twelve.
• He was called Anders because he refused to speak when he arrived at Kinloch Hold so no one knew his name.
• Made his first escape attempt less than six months after he arrived at Kinloch Hold. Each time he escaped it took them longer to find him.
• While Karl and Anders were involved as apprentices, Anders made no escape attempts.
• Anders and Karl were both harrowed around the same time, after which Karl was sent to Kirkwall.
• It took him “almost two decades” to get free of the Circle.
• Based on that, I’d guess Anders was born right around the transition from Blessed to Dragon Age. This would make him roughly 32 in Awakening, roughly 38 at the time of Chantrypalooza, and roughly 42 during Inquisition.

Florian Phineas Horatio Aldebrant, Esquire

• Parents are Magistrate Kingston and Florence of West Hill.
• His parents spent a huge amount of money to try to get him to go back to the tower instead of following the Warden-Commander.
• After Witch Hunt, he and Ariane go to his parents’ house and he leaves his robes and hat there in favor of “something leather.”

Ariane

• Likes shemlen pickles.
