Archer

Archer (given name Arthur) is a crew member of the Tempest Dream. He serves as the airship's cook.

Background
At a young age, Archer worked as a servant at the Dubois estate. The head of the household cut out Archer's tongue in a drunken rage after falsely accusing him of stealing a noblewoman's jewelry.

By 9:32 Dragon, Archer joined the crew of the Tempest Dream.

Dragon Age: Intervention
Archer, along with the rest of Maelstrom's crew, helps the Heroes of Ferelden in their quest to end the Fifth Blight. After the Battle of the Tempest Dream, he goes with them to Orzammar, but on the way contracts the pox. In Orzammar, Gwenhaël performs a blood transfusion and Archer is cured.

Archer also assists in the Battle of Kirkwall, helping to defend Hightown, and participates in the Battle of Time against Justiel, the demon responsible for the pox and the events leading up to the Fifth Blight.

Between Intervention and Resurgence
Archer continues to serve aboard the Tempest Dream. Through mysterious circumstances he regains the ability to speak, albeit with some difficulty.
