Hawke

Grew Up... in Ferelden. Hawke’s family lived in Lothering, a village in the young kingdom of Ferelden, until a Darkspawn attack forced them to flee. 

Living... in Kirkwall. As one of many refugees, Hawke eventually found solace in the city-state of Kirkwall, but this new home had problems of its own.

Profession... Champion of Kirkwall.  A decade after arriving in Kirkwall, Hawke became revered as its legendary champion. Many from outside the city are interested in learning how that happened.

Relationship Status... interested. Some accounts of Hawke’s travels mention a romantic partner, but not others. It depends on who is telling the tale. Even Hawke’s gender isn’t entirely clear.

Challenge... keeping the peace. From its numerous refugees to warring magical factions, Kirkwall’s unstable population is full of political tension. Hawke is forced to take on smuggling and mercenary work just to survive in this ecosystem. However, with enough time and strategizing, Hawke plans to gather enough political power to resolve the city’s issues and unify it.           

Personality... it depends. Much like Hawke’s romantic interests, descriptions of Hawke’s personality tend to vary. Sometimes Hawke is diplomatic and helpful, other times sarcastic and charming or even aggressive and direct. But Hawke is a leader above all else: “There are men who embrace destiny, and do not show their fear. These are the ones that change the world forever.”
