Dragon Age: The Veilguard - Taash
Your companions will have their own rooms in your headquarters known as the Lighthouse. But who do you think sleeps in each room?
Everyone deserves one (also pretend this is one meme)
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
Those two will obviously be part of my team
be funny f Bewear just doesn't care. Ash wants her head on a platter and she just sees him as her adopted ds playmate
Ash: you want me? well, here I am!
Kukui: Stop aggravating the fucking Bewear, Satoshi-
Very simple edit to make everything a lot less blue.
During the period the other day when the official Dragon Age YouTube account was dropping snippets of info in the live chat, among other cool bits of info such as 'Inky is returning', there were also these lil blurbs about the 7 companion characters. ◕‿◕ some of them have some different info to what was shared here on the official DA website and here in the EA press release. Twitter user elisa (doggiesnores) managed to grab these and kindly shared them on Twitter via the graphic above. [credit and source link: Twitter user elisa] tysm to doggiesnores for sharing these.
Text reads:
Harding: "She's a ball of positivity, and doesn't have a bad bone in her body (she doesn't even swear)" Emmrich: "Emmrich is friendly, scholarly, and sincerely proud of his companion, Manfred - a walking skeleton" Lucanis: "Lucanis… The guy treats his assassin gig like a 9-5 job. And like any office worker, he loves his coffee." Taash: "You'd expect a dragon hunter like Taash to be a jock. But she's also well-connected, and "knows a guy" for everything." Davrin: "He's one of those guys that knows he's charming, but at least he doesn't take himself too seriously. His pet Griffin is named Assan 🥺" Neve: "A cynic with a heart of gold, Neve is a private detective who works to make Minrathous a better place" Bellara: "Bellara tows the line between Type A and scatterbrain. You can always count on her to come up with a creative solution to your problem."

just a helpful skin tone chart for the companions of color since im already seeing whitewashed fanart
Given how much of the immediate backstory to Dragon Age: Inquisition was found in Asunder and the Masked Empire, I think some people might be wondering if any of the short stories, anthologies, or comics are also "homework" for The Veilguard. Obviously, the game's not out yet, so I can't be 100% sure, but here's my best recommendations based on what we know about the characters (done in alphabetical order because why not).
Bellara: She's new! The Veil-jumpers are in a single issue of the Missing, but she's not any of the ones named there. They investigate magical disturbances around Arlathan forest, and that's kind of all we know.
Davrin: Also new! The reason he seems to have a juvenile griffon (or at least, why there's a griffon at all!) is covered in the events of the novel The Last Flight, but it's hard to say how much any of those specifics are relevant to Davrin.
Emmrich: Emmrich (and Manfred!) is in Down Among the Dead Men in Tevinter Nights, and another, The Eternal Flame released during a Dragon Age Day and archived on the wiki. We learn he's a senior member of the Mourn Watchers, somewhat eccentric, and capable of talking to the dead. Also he's got a last name, Volkarin, so that's neat. All of that seems pretty easy to catch people up on in-game. (Down Among the Dead Men is really good though).
Harding: Harding is in the Missing, accompanying Varric on his hunt for Solas. Her buddy-cop-comedy-ing it with Varric is apparent from the trailer. Her apparent magic powers are completely new though!
Lucanis: He and Neve probably have the most backstory in Tevinter Nights of the bunch. Lucanis's story is found in the Wigmaker Job and he's mentioned in Eight Little Talons, both in Tevinter Nights. A Dragon Age Day short story called the Wake seems to have implied that he died, so mayhaps he faked his death? To hopefully set some people at ease, even though he's advertised as "The Magekiller," the mages he's killing are Venatori, so it's all good. I doubt he'd have beef with Neve or Emmrich or a mage PC JUST because they're mages. Also he's got a last name, Dellamorte.
Neve: Neve has a last name too! It's Gallus. Neve is the viewpoint character of the Streets of Minrathous, where she stops a Venatori plot to unleash a giant sealed demon underneath Minrathous. Her story is very Noir-vibes in a fantasy setting. She's also in the Missing for an issue, where she meets Varric and Harding and they work together to help escaped slaves avoid recapture by the Venatori. The giant sealed demon business did feel very "preview of a boss battle" but who can say if it actually is.
Taash: Like with Bellara, Taash herself is new, but the Lords of Fortune have featured elsewhere. They're in a number of stories in Tevinter Nights, as well as in Dragon Age: Absolution. The group doesn't seem to have a formal role, they seem to be sort of "adventurers for hire." Side note though, Ataashi is Qunlat for dragon, so I wonder if that's where Taash got her name.
