Dorian Pavus
Dorian Pavus is a fictional character in BioWare's "Dragon Age" franchise. The character made his debut in the 2014 video game "Dragon Age: Inquisition", where he serves as a companion and party member. Within the series, he is a human mage from a proud noble bloodline of the Tevinter Imperium, a realm governed by a powerful magic-using oligarchy situated in the northern region of Thedas, the continent in which the "Dragon Age" series is set in. A self-assured man born with magical virtuosity, he is nonetheless considered a pariah as his morals and ideals do not line up with the rest of his family nor the rest of the general populace living in Tevinter. Though he rejects the decadence and corruption which is prevalent throughout Tevinter society, he loves his homeland and wants his vision of a Tevinter where prejudices don't run rampant realized. Seeking to halt what he perceives as the moral decay of his countrymen and the fundamentalist zealotry of his former mentor, he decides to join the Inquisition, believing he could not return without first eliminating the forces corrupting his homeland. 

Dorian received a positive reception in "Inquisition", with attention drawn to his complex and richly written character, as well as his identities as a gay man and person of colour. Dorian is voiced by Ramon Tikaram.
