HURP, BIOWARE GAME. Characters in a BioWare game, particularly ones in the Dragon Age series are majorly affected by the choices and actions of the player character. Here are some of the major player character factoids that relate to Fenris and his Hawke’s “universe.”
Dragon Age: Origins A save file transfer was used, so Fenris’ knowledge of the events of the first game is that the Hero of Fereldan was a human noble that defeated the archdemon of the Fifth Blight and now reigns as Queen of Fereldan with fellow Grey Warden, King Alister. This hardly effects the overall game and Fenris not at all.
Hawke Each game has its own unique player character- the one Fenris knows is a man and an apostate mage who’s sister Bethany died when their family escaped from Fereldan. Fenris’ Hawke went the “humorous/charming” character route who confronted conflicts with emotional deflecting humor rather than violence or passive understanding. Fenris was romantically involved with Hawke despite the latter being a mage and most importantly, the relationship inspired Fenris to side with the mages alongside Hawke at the climax of the game. While it didn’t soften Fenris’ discrimination and wariness of mages as a whole, it made him significantly less hostile towards them and showed that, under duress, Fenris is a loyal companion. This is important because as the relationship went the “Friendship Points” route, Fenris is a noticeably nicer person then from the start and come the epilogue, the only companion to have stayed at Hawke’s side.
Varania and Danarius In Act II Fenris learns from one of the Tevinter magisters pursuing him that he had a sister, who was still alive. It isn't until Act III that he manages to come into contact with her and set up a meeting. Nervous that it was a trap, Fenris asked Hawke to accompany him. Fenris was right- his sister's existence was not a lie and she had in fact managed to meet him in person...and that it was a trap. His former master promised his sister (revealed to be a mage) that he would take her on as his apprentice if she agreed to help him recapture her brother. Hawke came to Fenris's defense and they managed to kill Danarius- which just left Varania. Fenris was all set to kill his sister in a fit of rage- but Hawke stepped in and stopped him. In doing so, Fenris learned from his sister before she escaped that his entire ordeal was his own doing- that he competed to be a slave under Danarius for the purpose of receiving his lyrium markings to use the boon to free his mother and sister.
This left him pretty conflicted, to say the least. It plays a pivotal role in Fenris' character because it gives him the chance to learn a part of his otherwise forgotten past and, through a series of post-quest dialogue, reaffirm his realtionship with Hawke that had since then "been on break."
Mage Ending-Anders Killed The ending has two routes- side with the mages or side with the templars. You have to side with one or the other because the climax of the game is one of Hawke’s companions- the mage Anders, who was fused with the spirit of Justice and Vengeance decided it’d be hi-fucking-larious to blow up Kirkwall’s Chantry and murdering everyone inside, including the Grand Cleric to spark a war between the factions. It worked, and Hawke was pissed. Hawke responded outside of his usual “laugh it off” demeanor and stabbed the fucker dead and sided with the mages to “clean up” Anders’s big whoopsie. Fenris followed suit and aided Hawke in the battle that ended with the leaders of both factions dead and their merry little band high tailing it for the hills. According to the epilogue, three years into their escape and all but Fenris left Hawke’s side- then Hawke went missing, and apparently, as did the Hero of Fereldan. Shit got real-er.

Dragon Age: Origins
