Ghilana Elf Warrior (Champion)

Ghilana is an elven Ben-Hassrath. He was not born into the Qun but joined too young to remember life outside it. His father, Novhen Tabris (the uncle of the Hero of Ferelden, who was named for him, don’t get it confused), was a Rivaini pirate. On shore leave in 9:07 Dragon, he was caught in a scuffle between Tevinter and Qunari soldiers. He sacrificed his own life to ensure his son's survival. With no information on the young Ghilana, the Qunari, the victors of the fight, took the baby back with them to Par Vollen to raise it under the Qun.

Ghilana is not the named assigned to him. Rather, it is one he took up in his travels to use among non-Qunari to make him seem less untrustworthy to other elves. He has been sent to southern Thedas as one of several parties to find what information he can on the Blight.

In the south, he has been experiencing dreams which shake his faith in the Qun. In them, a lupine figure has been making frequent appearances and is attempting to lead him astray. In his companion quest, the Warden can either encourage him to defect to the Wolf or stay loyal to the Qun. After the epilogue of Origins, he does not return until Trespasser. Then, the choices made in his companion quest will affect his interactions with the Inquisitor.

#dragon age #dragon age oc #ghilana tabris #to be super clear he's not a warden himself and exists as a companion in novhen's worldstate #first design iteration don't expect to be final #trying to merge qunari fashion with clothes that can actually handle cold weather #and honestly combat some of us still need a functional breastplate #also as a ben hassrath he's more likely to taking some clothing articles that reflect the local affinities #forever thinking about the connection btwn the tabris family and fen'harel btw #like i'm piecing it together with only two pieces of evidence but that's half the fun #fen'harel works with this family for literal ages then the two possible agents from this generation are a qunari or a warden #and he thinks both options have cooties #(also neither is prime real estate for passing on their trade to an offspring for different reasons - ignore kieran)#(realistically there's a more distant cousin who fits the standard tabris mold better but they can go live their life offscreen for now)#ghilana doesn't even know he's a tabris unless he defects to the dread wolf in his quest #he's also romanceable to non city elf wardens but if he doesn't defect he returns to par vollen at the end of the game with or without you
