So, I did a playthrough where you work with the Templars, and at one point you get to hear some of Corphyeus's thoughts. Now keep in mind, this game is from 2014, but when he uses a line like, "I will bring fire and fury to Haven", I'm like, hell, I've heard a line like that before. I guess fire and fury is a semi-common phrase, I dunno? It was still a bit jarring though. And I won't even attempt to compare the two speakers, just saying, it suprised me.

Eh, I figure they just liked the alliteration.

Wasn’t Corypheus’ entire schtick basically “Make Tevinter Great Again?”

Yeah, but I want art to imitate life, not the other frigging way around.  |

A random coincidence.
Corypheus has a vocabulary that would melt Trump's brain. This is in spite of the fact that Trump "has the best words", and his "IQ is among the highest".

It's not really that common of a set phrase (well, I guess it will be now)...but it's not unheard of.
I'm guessing they used it because it sounds vaguely biblical and apocalyptic. Cory was setting himself up a prophet and God of the new age, after all...
Isaiah 66:15 "For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire."
