the Darkspawn threat. Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir Voiced by: Simon Templeman Loghain Mac Tir is one of the main antagonists of Dragon Age: Origins. He was King Maric's right hand during Ferelden's war against the Orlesians. First seen at Ostagar, he is introduced as the general who provides strategies for Maric's son, Cailan, in the defense of the realm from the Blight. However, during the battle, after the signal is given for Loghain to launch an attack on the Darkspawn's flank, he strays from the plan and retreats from the field, along with his army, leaving both the King and the Grey Wardens to their deaths. For the majority of the game from then on, Loghain takes up residence in Denerim and appoints himself regent to his daughter, Queen Anora and seizes power as the de facto ruler of Ferelden. He is served by his loyal right-hand woman Ser Cauthrien, and is in league with Uldred and Arl Howe. Loghain may join the Warden's party as a warrior very late in the game, during the Landsmeet. After the Warden and Loghain duel each other, the Warden may choose to either have Loghain executed for his crimes or inducted into the Grey Wardens. Allowing Loghain to live will force Alistair to leave the party in disgust and will allow Loghain to join the Warden's party as a new Grey Warden. Loghain makes a small cameo appearance in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening should he survive in Dragon Age: Origins where he informs the Warden he is being sent by the Grey Wardens to Orlais for aid, and commands the Warden to treat his daughter well if he married Anora. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening companions Anders Voiced by: Greg Ellis Anders is a wise-cracking human apostate mage who has escaped the Circle of Magi multiple times, only to be captured and brought back by the templars each time. When the Warden-Commander arrives during the assault on Vigil's Keep in the beginning of Origins - Awakening, Anders is encountered fending off Darkspawn on his own, with several templars lying dead around him. At the conclusion of the siege, the Warden-Commander conscripts him into the Grey Wardens in order to save him from the templars. Anders uses magic in combat and his specialization is a variation of Spirit Healer; he has the ability to heal wounded allies and revive fallen allies in battle.
