Taash: The Dragon Hunter

The lone Qunari companion this time around is Taash. She hasn’t appeared in any other Dragon Age media, but if the character trailer is any indication she’s clearly an adventurous fighter who is willing to take on whole-ass dragons by herself. Taash is part of the Lords of Fortune, a group of treasure hunters from the country of Rivain.

Though Taash seems like she has a one-track mind, focusing on treasure and “hitting things with an axe,” BioWare says she’s “deeply knowledgeable about many topics.” Her dual-axe build gives her the following abilities:

Fire Breath

Dragon’s Roar

Dragonfire Strike

Spitfire

Fortune’s Favor

Taash’s concept art depicts her with a myriad of weapons, including daggers, swords, a two-handed axe, and the dual axes she uses in the game. While Taash uses she/her pronouns in official character bios, game director Corrine Busche has referred to Taash with they/them pronouns in an interview with IGN, which has fans theorizing the qunari could be the first non-binary party member in Dragon Age. However, series narrative designer Trick Weekes has implied Taash uses she/her pronouns. So it’s unclear if this might be an oversight, miscommunication, or perhaps an unintended spoiler for the character’s arc.

Star Trek: Picard and Total Eclipse actor Jin Maley plays Taash, and portrays her in episode five of Vows and Vengeance
