#cailan

[beneathcandycoatedclouds]

you know what? credit where credit is due. Loghain is a little fuck but at LEAST that man didn't get a weird obsession with Cailan in like. weird harry potter/snape fashion. he said "this kid ain't shit. not my girl's son" and murdered him as was his right

[poseidont-even]

Saw a post about how Cailan is dumb in da:o which. Yes he is he's a fucking theirin and they only get one braincell every two generations and it went straight to Alistair. But I don't think he's as dumb as he looks.

Because! He's playing chicken with Loghain about foreign reinforcements because Cailan thinks he wins both ways. Either Ferelden beats the darkspawn incursion alone and he looks super cool, or they strengthen ties with Orlais and he gets more excuses to see his mistress. (Again, he's wrong and dumb but less). Crucially, he is willing to hold off and wait, if Loghain agrees.

But Loghain would rather die than let Orlais in even as allies because backstory bs so he folds even though he knows that Cailan's charge is stupid.

AND ALSO! The tunnels under the tower of Ishaal are SUS AS FUCK because to stop you going there too early they stick a guard there and he tells you "Oh no you can't come in here. We found some tunnels and Loghain has ordered us to explore them."

These are the same tunnels the darkspawn use to delay the signal fire.

This is never acknowledged.

Character Information:

CHARACTER NAME: Cailan Harrison NICKNAME: Cal AGE: 32 SPECIES: Witch OCCUPATION: Hotel Manager and lifelong member of his coven GENDER: cis man PRONOUNS: he/him POWERS: Strong affinity for the elements PACK/COVEN: Crestle Coven (since birth) his strong powers could make him a Guardian FACE CLAIM: Sean Teale @crestlecovehq

Biography:

Born into a family of witches in Crestle Cove, Cailan has always been aware of the supernatural world. As a child, he found it difficult to keep secrets and often told his friends about his magical abilities, trying to show off with playground "magic tricks." This behaviour led his mother into pulling him out of school until he was old enough to understand the importance of secrecy. By the age of fifteen, he was well-established in the coven and understood the consequences of revealing his true nature to humans.

However, Cailan easily fell into the wrong crowd. Although he knew better than to experiment with illegal substances, he found it lucrative to sell them. For a long time, he became the go-to person for acquiring both legal and illegal items. His reputation grew, but his life took a significant turn when he met Sage, an older witch from his coven. Sage was powerful and smart, and recognised the potential profit in selling vampire blood. She enlisted Cailan, swearing him to secrecy and offering him a cut of the earnings. Though Cailan lacked the strength to take down a vampire on his own, he partnered with a werewolf he had known from high school. Together, they sold vampire blood, making a substantial profit.

As Cailan matured, he began to question his choices. Despite his growing unease, his working relationship with Sage flourished, and she entrusted him with managing a vampire bar she was opening. Her condition was that he keep his blood dealings separate from his work at the bar. Cailan left most of the dealings to his partner, trying to distance himself from the darker side of his activities. Though dealing in vampire blood wasn’t strictly illegal, since the law didn’t recognise vampire but Cailan felt a growing discomfort, especially knowing vampires who didn’t deserve such exploitation.

Cailan thrived in the bar, making supernatural contacts and enjoying the work. Friendly and confident, he quickly became a popular figure. Despite his charm and outward confidence, he grappled with doubts about his choices. However, his loyalty to his family and coven in Crestle Cove remained strong, and he would never abandon them.

Known for his charm, Cailan was outgoing, kind, and always eager to help others. Despite his flaws, he tried to do the right thing. For much of his life, he was considered a womaniser, enjoying flirting and casual relationships. However, as he aged, he began to yearn for genuine love and connection. He had always harboured feelings for Penny Walker, an older witch from his coven and one of his closest friends. These feelings began to grow stronger, shifting from platonic to romantic but the older witch fell in love with a werewolf, and Cailan knew he had to let her go. Distracting himself with other women.

Five years ago, Cailan's life took another dramatic turn when he met Aria Perduta, a human who had lost her memories due to a magical spell. Determined to help her, Cailan created an amulet to counteract the spell. Despite his modesty, the spell was complex, and he accomplished it with ease. Over time, he grew closer to Aria, and they had a fling. However, a broken spell forced him to erase her memories, a decision that left him deeply troubled.

Now 32, Cailan is doing well in his professional life. He manages Penny’s hotel and keeps a low profile, staying in a small cabin when not at work to avoid the chaos of his past. Though he remains loyal to the coven, he prefers to keep to himself, aware of his formidable powers but still wanting to remain modest. He knows people recognise his strength, but he just wants to be Cailan, living a quiet life away from the complications. Despite his best efforts, he fears that his past may still catch up with him.

I do still think a lot of people underestimate Cailan in a Dragon Age: Origins

CAILAN THEIRIN'S FUNERAL / dragon age: origins, return to ostagar

[wheretheresawyll]

still boggles my mind that in the year 2024 most players still ignore anora's character just to reduce her to a lying backstabber, when she only goes against you if:

you reveal her identity to ser cautherine and howe's soldiers, defeating the entire purpose of her disguise and also ignoring what she told you literally one minute before about how they can't know she's escaping with you - thereby betraying her first

you ignore her completely in denerim after she asks you to come talk to her, and only show up to the landsmeet

you bring up loghain's fate, and when she tells you that she would rather him be spared if possible, you tell her to her face that her father has to die

say what you like abt cailan but his enthusiasm is an absolutely unstoppable force. “i killed an arl’s son for raping my friend” only brings him down for a second and does not seem to alter his opinion of tabris at all
