Byerly is a spy. This means two things: (1) he has access to more information than the average new character; (2) he may act in devious and underhanded ways against current PCs and NPCs. I do not do not want to overstep any bounds with this. Please fill out the permissions post below. If you do not fill it out, then I will assume all questions below are a blanket "no."




<b>Is there gossip about your character Byerly should know?</b> Byerly has an encyclopedic knowledge of gossip that would be circulated in Ferelden high society. He also most likely knows any gossip that has been circulated in Orlesian high society. He also plausibly might have heard things from the courts of the Northern nations. If there's anything about your character that might have reached his ear (beyond what's listed on your info page), please put it here. <b>Can he bring this up in private conversation with your character?</b> <b>Can he bring this up publicly?</b> <b>Is there anything about your character that would be listed in intelligence reports?</b> Ferelden intelligence keeps reports on members of the Inquisition. (Note that Ferelden intelligence isn't super-sophisticated yet; they would not have access to all your character's secrets. You can pick and choose which ones you want to be known.) Byerly would have read these reports before coming to the Inquisition. If there's anything you think it's likely he would know about your character from these reports, please list it here. <b>Can he bring this up in private conversation with your character?</b> (Note that he is less likely to do so, unless he can plausibly suggest he learned these secrets from a different source.) <b>Can he bring this up publicly?</b> (Again, he's less likely to do so, unless he can ensure it doesn't compromise his cover.) <b>Would you be open to Byerly blackmailing your character?</b> <b>Would you be open to Byerly deceiving your character and tricking them into acting against Inquisition interests/their own interests?</b> <b>Would you be open to Byerly drugging and/or interrogating your character?</b> <b>Would you be open to Byerly uncovering new information about your character's past/present?</b> <b>Is your character interested in espionage/engaged in espionage?</b> <b>Could they be cultivated into an intelligence asset for Ferelden - e.g., seduced and/or bribed into giving information willingly?</b> <b>Is there anything else I should know?</b>

Is there gossip about your character Byerly should know?

ORLAIS:

There’s a bad song about her that was briefly in vogue as Kirkwall went tits-up. It makes certain unflattering allusions to bloodhounds.

CIRCLES/CHANTRY

Former Lieutenant at the White Spire. Primarily assigned to fieldwork, gained a small reputation for it outside the Circle.

After the Templars and Seekers split from the Chantry, began working for the Revered Mother of the Apcher Chantry, a progressive of little note until most of the people who were of note died at the Conclave.

Can he bring this up in private conversation with your character?
Sure!

Can he bring this up publicly?
Sure!

Is there anything about your character that would be listed in intelligence reports?

Worked as an ally for a year. Led Chantry Relations before promotion to Forces head, at which point she joined the Inquisition.

Filed formal complaints against an Inquisition Seeker following an assault involving Cade Harrimann and an Inquisition mage.

Fell ill during the Rifter plague.

Implied to have forced Petra out of the Ambassador role.

Probably getting paid more than anyone else in the Gallows, between the templar and div head bonus. Can’t believe the Inquisition is buying off a templar so that they look less shady.

Apparently living in sin/professional misconduct with a mage.

Can he bring this up in private conversation with your character?
Totally.

Can he bring this up publicly?
GO FOR IT. Just give me a heads-up so I can track the thread like the vain creature I am.

Would you be open to Byerly blackmailing your character?
Always.

Would you be open to Byerly deceiving your character and tricking them into acting against Inquisition interests/their own interests?
Yep

Would you be open to Byerly drugging and/or interrogating your character?
Possibly, but let’s talk it over OOC first.

Would you be open to Byerly uncovering new information about your character's past/present?
Yep.

ORLAIS:

From near the Eastern border. Her father (and like half her extended family) fought in the Ferelden rebellion.

Her former fiancee married up, and is now a well-off trader based out of Val Royeaux.

CIRCLES/CHANTRY:

Her brother was taken to Montsimmard as a child. He did not survive his Harrowing.

Her bff, Ser Arnault de Laurens, did not return from the mission she claims kept them out of the Spire during the Annulment.

Altered the records of deceased/red templars to cover up two of Gervais' murders.

Knows Gala through past shady shit, also knows that Gala murdered several Chantry mothers in ugly fashion and is just. Sitting on that.

Knows that Nell destroyed the Nevarra City Circle. And is also just sitting on that.

Actively hiding some blood mages in rural Orlais.

Actively hiding some long-term effects of lyrium use.

INQUISITION:

Declared the Kirkwall Chantry Garden’s forest debacle was not made through blood magic, after receiving confirmation it was totally made through blood magic.

Made a phylactery of the Archon's blood. Has not told anyone else where it is.

Probably other shit I’m forgetting atm, maybe she’s forgetting it too, the point is she LIES A LOT.

Is your character interested in espionage/engaged in espionage?

Yes, though her priority's shifted from her faction in the Chantry to the Inquisition in a big way. Her Revered Mother really isn’t happy about that!!

Could they be cultivated into an intelligence asset for Ferelden - e.g., seduced and/or bribed into giving information willingly?

She’s a married patriot with a vow of poverty, so.
