Davrin: The Warden

Another newcomer in The Veilguard is Davrin. He’s brand new to the series, but his faction isn’t. Davrin is a member of the Grey Wardens, the Darkspawn-killing order that has been a figurehead in Dragon Age since Origins. BioWare says he’s “bold and charming” and is apparently a notable monster hunter. He’s also my new husband, probably. Maybe. If Lucanis doesn’t steal my heart. Look, we’re all scouting these characters out for who we’re gonna smooch and we can apparently wife up whoever we want. Don’t judge me.

Before he was a Grey Warden, Davrin was raised in a Dalish clan, but left his nomadic family because he “craved excitement and adventure” and would “rather make history than reflect on it.” His sword and board Warrior build includes:

Battle Cry

Death from Above

Heroic Strike

Assan Strike

In War, Victory

BioWare’s concept art for Davrin is pretty straightforward, but it looks like he might have, at some point in development, wielded a staff as well as the sword and shield he’s seen with in the game. Also, Assan is here being a cutie on Davrin’s arm.

Davrin is voiced by storied video game voice actor Ike Amadi, who BioWare fans will recognize as Javik in the Mass Effect trilogy. Amadi voices the Warden in episode three of Vows and Vengeance
