ravage both the city of Amaranthine and the Deep Roads, fighting against the forces of the Grey Wardens as well as the Disciples loyal to the Architect. Marjolaine Voiced by: Kath Soucie Marjolaine is an Orlesian bard, and Leliana's former lover and mentor who trained her in the skills of combat, manipulation, subterfuge. She appears as the main antagonist of Leliana's Song, which explores Leliana's final days as a mercenary and spy under Marjolaine's tutelage, where she tasked Leliana and two other employees to plant a stolen document bearing Orlesian military seals as part of a conspiracy plot, but later framed her protege for the act of treason. Marjolaine's appearance in Origins is conditional upon Leliana's approval with the Warden; a high approval rating unlocks her personal quest. Supporting characters Duncan Voiced by: Peter Renaday Duncan is the narrator of the opening cinematic in Origins and leader of the Grey Wardens in Ferelden. He is seen recruiting the player character to join the Wardens under six different scenarios, and serves as their mentor early in the game. He inducts the player character into the Grey Wardens, before perishing shortly afterwards at the battle of Ostagar. Duncan also appears in The Calling, where he and his fellow Grey Wardens first encountered The Architect, a uniquely sentient Darkspawn mage who presents himself as different from the rest of his kind in that he has free will, and that his goal is to release the Darkspawn race from the compulsion to search for the Old Gods by any means necessary. IGN's Christian Holt noted that the death of Duncan is particularly painful because "no matter what origin story you went with, he played a role as a steady but firm hand that not only saved your life, but initiated you into the Grey Wardens". Cullen Voiced by: Greg Ellis Cullen is a Ferelden member of the Templar Order. Cullen may be encountered three times in Origins. In the Mage Origin, he is the templar assigned to execute the player character if they were to fail their Harrowing and become an abomination. If the Warden is a female mage, Cullen will reveal his infatuation with her, as he hated the idea of having to be the one to potentially execute her. He will be found once again as the last surviving templar in the upper levels of the Circle Tower during the Broken Circle
