Crow!Rook who is dedicated to Treviso is to Jacobus as Viago was to Crow!Rook when they first joined. Inspiring, a bit of a bad influence ngl, and a paternal figure within the crows that really screams ‘You may struggle to find your place, but I’ll be here to help you along the way’. At least depending on how morally aligned your Rook is.
(mini spoiler below the cut)
For an NPC - the kid’s varying dialogue as you progress through the main acts was a nice touch. His story felt very real - a child left stranded during the occupation. Filled with regret and loss. Unsure and looking to all around him for some kind of guidance - eager to do something yet limited by his capabilities. Looking for a goal other than revenge that he can achieve. Anything. - and children are indiscriminate when fragile like this. He’s looking at who’s getting the job done, not who’s in the limelight. It makes sense that Jacobus grows to admire Rook. It just hits more if they’re a crow.
The devs. gave him more side-dialogue than I was expecting.He had a lot to say, mulling over the Cantori Diamond’s banister, and if your Rook checks in on him often? You can witness how much they’ve inspired him and that he’s watching their every move within Treviso. Heck, with the way Viago likes to brag I’m sure he hears about what they’re doing elsewhere as well.
The whole point of his arc is to become self-sufficient and find a purpose. Hence why Jacobus founds the Egrativi house dedicated to orphans and those with nowhere to go. His story was my favorite out of all the NPC side quests.
Despite this resolve - while not an actual parent, I’d like to think Crow!Rook takes on a guiding role for him. Just like Viago and Teia did for them. What goes around comes around and all that. Although in my mind the kid forever has a mother-figure out of my Rook. With her staying alongside Lucanis? It just makes sense. The crows were ‘family’-ish before, although there’s still that inter-house divide amongst them. Yet the new era being brought in post-Veilguard? With the Dellamortes, De Rivas, and Cantoris getting linked? It just makes sense that the newly founded Egrativi house is a pillar in the family too. That’s four heads of crow households being connected through bonds other than contracts. Sure, there’re still disagreements and promising recruits being swiped from each other. Yet that’s just the crow’s nature.
In short. I love Treviso. I love the side quests we got there. I love Jacobus and the new direction laid out for the crows. Yes they’re all killers but who isn’t within Thedas at this point. My sweet child, if we could adopt you I would have smashed that button so hard it would break my controller and I’d be fine with it.

me: i sure hope the crows are not gonna be solely depicted in veilguard as a brave force who 'fight for all' when they are at their core a criminal organization who is known to buy children to indoctrinate them and turn them into assassins, by putting them in overcrowded warehouses and making them fight for scrapes in order not to starve, to later torture those who reach adulthood to finish their initiations and kill them anyways if they dare to try getting out

Antivan Crow
I'm so happy I got to draw him again! This time the very kind @ gnieszka_tattoo commissioned me for a series of DA portraits, here's the first one out of 4. Thank you so much again for the chance, nothing beats the fun of drawing commissions related to your current fixations! 🖤

Antivan men - pathetic, spend half their time yearning, will die if you don’t give them enough attention

When you spend 20 years attempting to bring down the child slavery, murdering, human trafficking exploitation ring that stole your childhood, murdered your friends, and killed countless innocents only to have them rebrand as 'Noble Freedom Fighters™' off-screen.
#rip zevran's crusade against the crows >:(#when people said they wanted to be crows they didn't want devs to make the faction nice so we won't feel bad or conflicted about it#people wanted to be conflicted! they wanted to see the faction in all its glitz and glamour - then see what it hid beneath all the mystique#choose to play as a crow that loves the life/hates it/is undecided/etc...#but i'm sorry i forgot that this game doesn't want to do 'role play' options my bad#i will not stand for this zevran erasure!!!#they set up a schism with zevran's da2 codex entry - with other crows joining him!#have the antivan crows faced with a threat that challenged their outlook on why they fight#have the talons be the one to sell out antiva! in exchange for allowing their business to resume (have it be a sneaky reveal!!!)#their work has purpose and order to it so the antaam might agree! they're like 'babys first ben-hassrath!'#have Crows look around at their own home - see the vendor they bought fruit from disappear or the smiling old lady now cowed by grief#then have them decide to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT#have a schism! have Zevran take in Crows who are unhappy - have them realize how shit the organization is!#boom! somewhat-noble freedom fighters! (they're doing their best okay)#if there were differences between different crow houses they needed to explain it better...let us talk to Lucanis! I want to know him :(#my art <3#dragon age#datv critical#datv spoilers#dragon age the veilguard#zevran arainai

Genuinely obsessed with the fact that Viago wrote crow Rook a letter after the Antaam incident and literally just addressed them as idiot. I love their dynamic so much
