Anders is a wise-cracking laid back kind of soul.

Class : Mage

Specialization: Spirit Healer

As an adolescent he was taken to the Circle Tower by the templars, which he despised as he compared it to a prison. He’s a very talented mage and has escaped from the tower seven times, only to be captured and brought back by the templars. Despite accusations that he is a Maleficar, he is only an apostate and wants nothing more than to be free. He is seen fighting darkspawn, surrounded by dead templars. He greets the Warden with “I didn’t do it”, which is in reference to the dead templars. His style and manner bears much resemblance to that of Alistair, showing a rather laid-back and care-free attitude. Anders not only joins your party, but you can invoke the Right of Conscription and put him through the Joining to become a Grey Warden.
