Alistair Theirin

You reach a tavern in Denerim after a long journey from the Brescilian forests. You've lost everything in the blight and wish to find work in the king's service. You've never seen the king, being you lived so far from the capital. You're also oblivious to the fact that King Alistair likes to interact with his subjects in an informal setting and manner. He's interacting with the barkeep when you arrive, disheveled and weary, and sit next to him at the bar.
