Dragon Age II Characters

In Dragon Age II you will come across 5 playable companions to aid you in your journey. (6 with the Exiled Prince DLC) Each character has their own equipment and weapons to begin with. As the story progresses, they will also offer up quests and conversations of their own. When not in your party, they will be residing at their home base. Below is the lowdown on each character.

dragon age ii character character bethany
Bethany/Carver

Depending on the class you choose, Bethany or Carver will travel with you to Kirkwal. Bethany is a powerful Apostate trying to keep in hiding from the Templars, and Carver is a skilled warrior seeking glory. Both are great in battles, and serve the party well. But each has circumstances around them that may remove them from the party temporarily, or permanently.

dragon age ii character character aveline
Aveline

Aveline is first encountered fleeing from the Darkspawn with her husband Sir Wesley. She will be forced to kill her husband due to his corruption from the Darkspawn. She then joins the Hawke family in their journey to Kirkwall. She joins the guard, and soon takes her place as Captain. From this position she tries to do what is right for the people, while also assisting Hawke when he is needed.
Aveline is a great front line fighter. She uses the Sword and Shield, thus reducing damage while doing fairly good blows to her enemies. She has some great equipment throughout the game, as well as some awesome abilities. Aveline is usually one of the last to fall, while fighting some of the tougher fights.

dragon age ii character character varric
Varric

Varric is a man of many talents. He writes and tells stories, and has appeal with most everyone in Kirkwall. When he talks money flows, and when he doesn't money flows. His contacts through every channel in the city get information Hawke needs for just about anything.
In battle he and his bowgun Bianca are simply one of the best to deal distant damage. His attacks are powerful and he does great even when the enemies are numerous. He is almost a must have in the party throughout most of the game.

dragon age ii character character anders
Anders

Anders was once a Grey Warden stationed in Vigil's Keep. He chose to try and help his companion Justice by joining with him. After being made to give up his cat Sir Pounce A lot, he decided to flee to Kirkwall and remain with the refugees as a healer. His anger and hate has turned Justice into Vengeance, and sometimes it takes control of him. He has turned violent towards anyone apposing his beliefs, and at some point it could go too far for it to ever be forgiven.
Anders is a great mage to have, as he also does a lot of healing spells. If area spells are opened as well, he becomes a awesome fighting and healing force. Set him up with Lyrium Potions, and he can outlast any battle.

dragon age ii character character isabela
Isabela

Isabela has been around...ALOT. Not only beautiful but dangerous as well. A captain of a ship, that wrecked during a violent storm, she is in search of a relic that was stolen to save her from her boss. She decides to accompany Hawke and his companions while searching for her stolen item. Time will tell what will happen with her, as well as the impact this relic will have on the fortunes of all.
Isabela is like having a female version of a Hawke Rogue, and darn good at it too. If you are playing as a warrior or mage, she provides excellent Rogue tactics. Definitely one that should be in the party if it calls for it. If you are a rogue as well...two is sometimes better than one!

dragon age ii character character merrill
Merrill

Very bouncy and charming, willing to do just about anything to preserve her clans heritage...even at a great cost. Merrill is Keeper Marathari's first. She would be Keeper after her, but her eagerness to see a relic of the ancient past restored has put her in disfavor with her clan. Marathari has asked Hawke to take her with him/her, in the hopes that she will forget the artifact, and come to her senses.
Merrill is a mage, and a pretty good one at that. She has a great set of spells to begin with, and can be shapped any way you wish her to be. Though not as strong in the field as Anders or Bethany, she can hold to her own well enough.

dragon age ii character character fenris
Fenris

An escaped slave from the Tevinter Emperium, Fenris had set a trap to capture his former master, but catches Hawke instead. He choses to come along with Hawke, while waiting for his master to come for him. He was branded with mass volumes of Lyrium by the Mage master he once served, thus he bares a hatred of all mages.
Fenris is a powerful tank to have on the team. Not only can he stand punishment, his 2-handed swordsmanship allows him to return it in abundance. He should be the main target for any battle, and have better weapons equipped on him as soon as they become available. He is definitely a great, almost better, alternative for Avaline.
