support him as heir to the Ferelden throne. Depending on the player's choices during the events of Dragon Age: Origins, Alistair may make cameo appearances in subsequent installments of the Dragon Age series. He is also a major protagonist in the digital comic series The Silent Grove, Those Who Speak and Until We Sleep, whose plot follows BioWare's own canon in which Alistair is king of Ferelden. Morrigan Voiced by: Claudia Black Morrigan is a shapeshifting apostate mage, raised and taught by her mother, Flemeth, in the wilds of Ferelden. Morrigan joins the Warden's party early in the game shortly after Flemeth's rescue from the battle at Ostagar. She is a romance option for male player characters. Near the end of the game before the slaying of the Archdemon, she reveals that a Grey Warden need not die in order to slay the Archdemon as long as the Warden, Alistair, or Loghain if he has replaced Alistair, impregnates Morrigan with a child who will then carry the soul of the Old God upon the Archdemon's death, and thus spare the life of the Grey Warden who dealt the final death blow.

If the player character is not a Human Noble, or if they did not complete the side quest during the Human Noble origin, then the player character has a chance to acquire a different Dog through another side quest at Ostagar.
