Caen

Caen is a charismatic mage often involved in the affairs of Thedas.

Background
Caen spent many of his younger years searching for the legendary blade Nemetos. While he never let his desire for the sword go, Caen eventually stopped actively looking for it and concentrated on making a name for himself in the criminal underworld of Kirkwall.

For a time, he had his base of operations out of the Blooming Rose, the local brothel. When the Qunari came in 9:31 Dragon, he quickly resolved the matter and became both Champion and Viscount of Kirkwall. Under his rule, the Templar Order loosened its grip.

Dragon Age: Intervention
In 9:10 Dragon, Caen sends Lyeldan to Orzammar, resulting in Justiel's release.

In 9:32 Dragon, he supports the Heroes of Ferelden in their quest, knowing that they intend to travel back in time. He attempts to go along with them, but the Heroes refuse.

Just before the end of the Fifth Blight, Caen holds a grand ball in Kirkwall to celebrate his part in ending the darkspawn threat. At this ball, Caen recognizes Nemetos in Lyeldan's possession, but when the Archdemon shows up he quickly disappears.

Between Intervention and Resurgence
When the Heroes of Ferelden are celebrated as the victors, Caen is chased out of Kirkwall.

Relationships

 * Lyeldan Beltore - Caen took a special interest in Lyeldan, knowing that his family was the last lead in finding Nemetos. He treated him "like a son" to gain his favor.
 * Victor - Caen's former partner. The two worked together in their pursuit for Nemetos, but Victor ended their partnership.
