Two years later, in the face of increasing political pressure from both Ferelden and Orlais, Maxwell re-structured the Inquisition to serve as Divine Victoria's personal honor guard and peacekeeping force. He was declared a hero of southern Thedas and worked to assist devastated nations with reconstruction efforts. After scoring a major victory in the Battle at the Arbor Wilds, the Inquisitor defeated Corypheus by killing his red lyrium dragon and used the Anchor to banish him to the Fade, destroying his body in the process. He also fought alongside the Grey Wardens against a Venatori plot to enslave the Order’s mages for Corypheus’s purposes. By recruiting the rebel mages into his ranks and helping Empress Celene Valmont I remain on the throne, the Inquisitor played a major role in ending the Mage-Templar War and Orlesian civil war. In response to this new threat, Maxwell became leader of the reformed Inquisition. Haven was soon destroyed in an avalanche and Maxwell narrowly managed to escape with his life.

However, after a cataclysmic explosion killed everyone except him, the Veil was sundered and caused a huge tear across Thedas known as "the Breach". He is a member of House Trevelyan.Īs the Mage-Templar War continued to ravage the world, Maxwell and several members of his family attended a summit hosted by the Chantry at Haven in the hopes of making peace between the Templars and mages. Lord Inquisitor Maxwell Trevelyan (born 9:15 Dragon ), known to many Thedosians as the " Herald of Andraste", is the protagonist of Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's time we start believing in this one." ―Maxwell, to Revered Mother Giselle " All of this happened because of fanatics and arguments about the next world.
