Duncan is the second-in-command of the Grey Wardens, as well as the brief mentor of the Hero of Ferelden. Born in Rivain and raised in the streets, Duncan was an orphan thief who was inducted into the order after killing one of their members in a failed robbery. The Warden-Commander Genevieve conscripted him into the order the morning of his scheduled execution. For months, Duncan was a hated member until he learned the truth; his victim was Genevieve's betrothed, and his guilt led him to become a faithful member of the organization.
Dunca was a member of the detachment sent on an expedition into the Deep Roads to locate the Genevieve's brother and former Warden-Commander Bregan. With the detachment's Deep Roads guide King Maric, Duncan manages to discover the Architect's existence and flees the Deep Road with Maric and his lover Fiona. Their bastard son, Alistair, is watched over from a distance by Duncan as he is groomed to become a Templar or Grey Warden.
During the Fifth Blight, Duncan conscripts the Hero of Ferelden into the Grey Wardens. While at Ostagar, Duncan sends Alistair and the Warden to locate missing caches of treaties, as well as retrieve vials of darkspawn blood for their Joining. Duncan oversees the Warden's joining, but that very same night dies on the battlefield while fighting a horde of darkspawn, along with the bulk of the Ferelden army.Battles here were deemed to be unfair or otherwise not in accordance with wiki standards, and have been removed from the statuses of the warriors and displayed below.
