Alistair [Entry #162]
Category: Characters
Installation: Base Installation
"You know, one good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together."

Alistair was a novice templar when Duncan recruited him into the Grey Wardens--or rescued him, as Alistair would say.
His mother was a serving girl, who died when Alistair was very young. He was raised by Eamon Guerrin, arl of Redcliffe for a time.
The arl's wife, Isolde, suspected the reason her husband took an interest in the welfare of a servant's child was that Alistair was Eamon's son. She insisted that the boy be sent away to the Chantry.
Isolde's suspicions were unfounded, however. Alistair was not Eamon's son, but King Maric's. Eamon sheltered the boy to hide his existence from Queen Rowan, Eamon's sister.
With a great deal of assistance, Alistair was recognized by the Landsmeet as Maric's son and granted his father's throne.
Unable to accept the decision to spare Loghain's life, Alistair left--and has not been seen since.
To prevent further civil war, he was executed at the Landsmeet on the orders of Queen Anora, ending the Theirin line.
In the battle against the archdemon in Denerim, Alistair gave his life to save his friends and end the Blight.
Alistair is fascinated by magic, even as his life is defined by fighting its darker manifestations. He has a fondness for strange runestones and figural studies of arcane creatures.
