Dragon Age II, the second main video game in BioWare's Dragon Age series, features an ensemble cast of characters. Several returning characters from its antecedent Dragon Age: Origins may appear in a major or minor capacity, including Flemeth, Anders, Merrill, Isabela, Alistair, Zevran, Leliana, Marethari, Bodahn and Sandal Feddic.[1]

The player character is Hawke, a human who lived in the Ferelden village of Lothering prior to the Fifth Blight.[2] The overarching narrative of Dragon Age II chronicles Hawke's rise from an impoverished refugee of the Blight to become the Champion of the city-state of Kirkwall in the Free Marches. The plot of Dragon Age II is a character-driven narrative which is more concerned with examining the interior worlds of distinct personalities instead of an epic, save-the-world storyline seen in other RPG games, and unfolds within a smaller chunk of the world of Thedas compared to the Warden's story in Origins.[2][3]
