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? There's probably gossip now and then about whether he is actually Maric's son, which was never confirmed, and what he's up to, which for the most part has been "nothing except killing darkspawn," with a spike in interest when he (reportedly) helped return Maric Theirin's body earlier this year but didn't attend the funeral.

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? To whatever extent tabs are kept on him, he's tended to disappear (due to going literally underground or otherwise where no one can follow) and pop up again all over for Warden Business, except in Ferelden, where he remains politely exiled and has only occasionally ignored that exile to visit. I've alluded to some Theirin Royalists still existing and making grumbling noises, and maybe more in recent months since it turned out Maric Theirin was alive all this time and they could try to claim any decision about the crown made before he was actually dead is invalid, but Alistair doesn't have any intentional contact with them. If the crown cares enough about the prospect of a next-gen Theirin heir to pay attention to his love life, they might know he's involved with an Orlesian elf, but it's subtle enough that people would have to care/intercept correspondence/etc. to figure it out, so maybe not.

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

Can he bring this up publicly? Sure.

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

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

Would you be open to Byerly drugging and/or interrogating your character? Sure.

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

Is your character interested in espionage/engaged in espionage? Nah.

Could they be cultivated into an intelligence asset for Ferelden - e.g., seduced and/or bribed into giving information willingly? Not really — seduction and bribery are both a no-go and if he had information relevant to Ferelden's security he would probably just volunteer it, as long as it didn't jeopardize anything Wardeny.

Is there anything else I should know? I love you.
