Mathras Halasan

Agent of the Betrayer

general info

CLASS Mage	GENDER Male
AGE Unknown; appears late 20s	RACE Ancient Elf
ORIENTATION Straight	OCCUPATION Agent of Fen'Harel

appearance

Mathras is taller than most elves, similar in size and musculature to a human man trained in hand-to-hand fighting. He is fair-skinned with amber eyes and blonde hair. There are a number of scars on his face, including across his left eyebrow and cheek, and on the right side of his jaw.

Mathras wears loose robes that help to conceal his size from any who might take notice of a larger-than-normal elf. He carries a wooden staff with simple carvings, a dagger, and a belt purse containing a variety of potions.

personality

Mathras has spent most of his waking life travelling between the enclaves of ancient elves still hidden around Thedas. Though he has had some melee training, Mathras prefers to study magic and history. He specializes in arcane and elemental magic, and has some skill with healing.

Even Mathras himself is not certain how old he is, though he does not personally remember the last days of Elvhenan.

He feels little affection for modern elves, seeing them as symptoms of the fatal illness that Fen'Harel has vowed to cure. Perhaps illogically, he feels more compassion for the dwarves, humans, and qunari who will perish when the veil falls.

That said, a thoughtful, deliberate person of any race may earn both his respect and his affection, given time.

history

Mathras was born in the last days of Elvhenan, though like most surviving ancient elves, he was in uthenera when Fen'Harel erected the Veil, allowing him to retain his immortality, or at least an unnaturally long lifespan. Waking centuries later, Mathras was horrified by what he saw of the world and began to learn all he could about the fate of Elvhenan.

Through his travels and his dreams, Mathras learned of Fen'Harel's betrayal, but he questioned the common narrative being told throughout the contemporary elven communities. He began to seek out Fen'Harel, spending years at a time in uthenera to preserve his connection to what had been.

In the end, Fen'Harel found him first.

Mathras became his loyal agent, traveling through a limited network of Eluvians, seeking followers and magical relics alike.

Mathras' current mission has brought him to Haven, where Fen'Harel's plan to restore the Elvhen will finally be set in motion.

sample

Satisfied that their dinner was cooking properly, Magdelene stood and walked to the other side of the campfire to set up their tent. She and Lars generally chose to sleep under the stars rather than under a canvas, but this would give her something to do until it was time to eat. And it would take her mind off Lars for a little while. Lars, her companion, her fellow Grey Warden, and her lover.

Lars, who’d begun hearing the Calling just days ago as they were finishing off a group of darkspawn, but who’d waited until just that morning to tell her about it.

She hammered a stake into the ground with so much force that she almost splintered the damn thing.

“Destroying our shelter isn’t going to help anything, Mag,” he said, sounding gruff. Magdelene looked over her shoulder to see him gingerly stretching his injured leg out in front of him to rest it on his pack.

She scoffed and turned back to her task, hammering more gently, but picturing his scowling face on the end of the stake. She knew she was being ridiculous, but it was easier to just be angry with him than it was to give in to her fear of losing him. Anger, she could work with. It could spur her to act. But fear was paralyzing.

They ate in tense silence. Several times, Lars seemed about to speak, at first in anger, the sullenness of each of them dragging the other one further down. But by the time they’d tossed aside the last bones, Lars’ expression had softened and he was watching Magdelene out of the corner of his eye.

“I’m sorry, Maggie,” he said quietly.

In an instant, her anger with him was gone and she felt tears welling up in her eyes. He leaned back to lie on the ground right where he was -- outside the tent that Magdelene had set up -- and reached out to pull her down with him. She obliged and made herself as comfortable as she could while they were both still wearing chainmail. He squeezed her and she pressed her face into his shoulder, ignoring the links of steel pushing against her nose and forehead.

“We knew this was coming,” she replied. “Nothing good can last forever. At least...at least I’ll...” be able to join you one day, she finished to herself.

“Together at the Maker’s side,” he agreed. Of course he knew what she’d been thinking. “But not yet, Mag, especially not for you.”

But she wished it was.
