Ponchard, the guy with Dorian's amulet. His voiceover is so delightfully over the top. "If he relinquished it, how is that my doing?"
Also the Kirkwall mages are underappreciated, I feel. In my Thedas, the Gallows was annulled (my canon Hawke was... not heroic), so these guys have been on the run for years longer than the other apostates. Instead of running crying to Tevinter the moment the Conclave exploded, they survived on their own for an impressive amount of time. Not to mention, they survived the annulment, either by fighting their way out or escaping before it went down. Plus, they survived Ser Alrik and Kirkwall's weak Veil. I still think it's very suspicious that they'd suddenly turn to demon summoning at the sight of a couple bandits. The bandit theory is Solas' words, not theirs, and like Solas always says, there are multiple sides to every story.
While we're on the subject of Kirkwall: Xebenkeck. The sum total of what we know about her is (1) she sat out of one of the ancient elven wars, ultimately getting banished for draft dodging and (2) if you try to destroy her book collection, she will murder you. Also she probably helped teach people ancient magical secrets. She's a desire demon on the outside, and a hippie college professor on the inside. She's the second-most famous Forbidden One* but has barely any fans compared to Imshael (who, to be fair, is awesome).
And let's not forget Sylaise. The quiet elven goddess who sews and tends the hearth, who championed the Way of Peace. And oh by the way, her "breath rivals Andruil's spear." Wait, what? She's the elven equivalent of "speak softly and fry your enemies in dragon fire."
Like Xebenkeck, Ashkaari Koslun also kind of seems like a hippie. One that got really misinterpreted by the Qunari. If you read his actual words, there's very little in there to justify mustering a gigantic army and conquering the world. If anything, Koslun seems to advocate harmony and, like, oneness with nature, man. Just go with the flow my dudes.
Saarath has a really tragic backstory, and he even turns on the Qunari for a bit, which often gets lost because people usually get stomped by him in the final fight. The secret is rogues+focus abilities+pitch grenades.
The Elegant Abbess is my one true love in Last Court. Everyone else can keep their Wayward Bard, meanwhile I'll be over here cavorting with the Cult of Masked Andraste and gaining favor with the Horned Knight. Who is, himself, a very underappreciated character. Why yes, faerie king, what could possibly go wrong if I eat your food and accept your gifts?

The NPCs in the romance quests are surprisingly great, considering that they're gated behind specific LIs. I listed Ponchard (that delightful little weasel), and I agree that Lord Otranto is cool too. I'm trying to think if any of the other romances have romance-locked NPCs? Are Dorian and Josephine the only ones? I guess Cullen's romance technically has a Scout Jim interaction, but Scout Jim shows up other places too.

Ser Delrin Barris, One of the best Templar and Inquisition agent to have ever grace the Dragon Age series. This man is on a mission to single handily redeem the people's and mages faith in the Templar Order, and he's now in the best possible position to weed out corruption within the Templat Order as he becomes the Knight Commander.
Sutherland and Company, no explanation needed as to why these guys are awesome.
Calpernia, all around badass tevinter mage who you can't help but sympathize and let's not forget you can convince her stand down and turn against her master. Here's to hoping we get to see her again in the next Dragon Age game, but also hoping a choice won't come between either siding with Lady Calpernia or BFF Dorian Pavus.

Add the option to kill her as we could do to companions in DAO and I'm all for it. Why people hate Bianca? It's for a variety of reasons. I don't like her because she's a massive hypocrite when it comes to Varric. Her threat towards the Inquisitor about watching out for Varric right after she tried to get him to visit her and he complained that her family tries to kill him every time and she just dismisses it is so grating. Especially since her actions already got people killed because she went behind Varric's back on the red lyrium.

Slim Couldry, Robin Hood of the Denerim Alienage. Proof that you can be a fat half-elven thief, and still kick ass. The Dark Wolf, revolutionary Batman of Amaranthine. A Warrior's weapons and armor with a Rogue's subterfuge, and possibly elven based on height and body type. I really wanted more of this guy, even if it turned out he was just a legacy bearer. Bonus points for sharing the Sith Warrior's voice actor. Ser Otto, blind and middle aged, yet still badass Templar. The fact that this disabled human ventured to protect elves from demons shows what a good Templar should be. Pol. It would have been nice to see more of what it's like for a City Elf adapting to the Dalish way of life, but you just had to run... Charade Amell. Too bad we couldn't have gotten her quest in Act 2, it would have been nice to see Leandra's reaction.

As popular as Ser Barris is, I'm surprised more people don't mention that he's basically Baurus of The Blades 2.0 from Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion .

I liked Charade Amell and was hoping for her as a cross-over companion before DAI came out. I appreciated the reference to her in the War Table mission and was surprised to discover she was a Red Jenny but that only made her better.
Calpernia had better not threaten Dorian considering I not only let her go but Dorian approved of my action and stated that Tevinter could do with more like her, so theoretically they ought to be on the same side in the future, particularly if the opposite side is Fen'Harel or the Qunari.
Another honourable mention for the Silver Order of knights that my Warden created at Vigil's Keep and then apparently were instantly killed off when they headed off on a wild goose chase looking for a cure for the taint. I really liked the idea of the Silver Order being my lasting legacy for the region. However, by DAI and particularly Trespasser it would seem that Teagan had totally forgotten everything that the Warden had done in the 5th Blight and then working in co-operation with the monarch at Vigil's Keep during Awakening. Something was clearly wrong with his short term memory because apparently Sophie Dryden was still firmly lodged there, which was ancient history that had been superseded by modern events.

Tbh, I thought Red Jenny we meet in Trespasser during Sera's cutscene was her, because I could swear it was her voice.

They didn't categorically say the Silver Order had gone but it wasn't mentioned either and considering the letter from Clarel to Teagan in the main game and then his attitude in Trespasser it seemed to me like the events of Awakening had been airbrushed from history. Also I don't think its creation is specifically recorded in the Keep, which would also suggest it was decided not to incorporate it into the world state being carried forward. However, they do record whether you managed to save the Keep, Amaranthine or both and with the latter I thought that was only possible if you fully upgraded both the Keep and its soldiers and then went to help Amaranthine. If your soldiers had fully upgraded armour, then I thought that was when you gave them silverite armour, hence them being called the Silver Order.
Anyway, for all my efforts at saving both the Keep and Amaranthine, you'd think it had never happened the way the attitude to the Wardens is portrayed. Ferelden's wardens are under the control of Clarel, when surely your second in command at Vigil's Keep would carry on in your absence. She appeals to Teagan to allow the Orlesian Wardens back into Ferelden to assist with re-building the order as though the events of Awakening had never happened, since there the monarch has already authorised the Grey Warden presence and agreed to the experiment where they are given temporal power over an area. (It should also be borne in mind that if the Warden does the US, then their replacement actually comes from Orlais). Finally both Clarel and later Teagan reference the events surrounding Sophie Dryden as though this was still considered sufficient reason to ban the Wardens from Ferelden after first Maric, then Cailen and then whoever succeeded him had approved their return, they had ended the 5th Blight in record time and then gone on to deal with the darkspawn menace in the north as well. So what was the point of recording anything in the Keep with regard to this?

Because the game doesn't allow you to counter her threat. You're forced to just stand there and take it. Also, she is rather dishonest. I was more ticked about how she just gets to walk away after admitting to voluntarily giving the location of red lyrium to Corypheus. I at least got to kill the Architect for his involvement in causing the Blight my 2nd round through.

To be fair, she didn't give the information to Corypheus in his guise of darkspawn Magister, she gave it to whoever Hawke left alive in Legacy, who were possessed by Corypheus. I'm not sure whether she said this was before or after she discovered that red lyrium had the Blight but I think it was after. If that was the case then it is sort of forgivable that she consulted with a Grey Warden and let them have the location because she thought they might be able to help. At the end of the day it is the Grey Wardens who should have alerted everyone to the danger that Corypheus posed once it was clear his prison had been breached because they knew it wasn't that easy to kill him and they also knew how arch-demons regenerate on death, which the majority of the population don't, so they might reasonably conjecture that Corypheus might be able to do the same, even if they assumed he jumped to the nearest darkspawn not the nearest Grey Warden.

Additionally, when you call her out on it, she's defiant and refuses to take full responsibility. That because it was unintentional, she shouldn't be properly reprimanded and gets in your face for even starting to get upset about it. She's a child. a dangerous child.

That because it was unintentional, she shouldn't be properly reprimanded and gets in your face for even starting to get upset about it. She's a child. a dangerous child. In fairness to Bianca giving the location to Corypheus in the guise of Janeka/Larius, he would have gotten the location anyway. During the "Finding Nathaniel" quest in DA2 (around 9:37), Nathaniel reveals that the Wardens were engaged in an expedition to the Primeval Thaig. When Varric comments on how they knew of it's location, he reveals that they were told by Bartrand, at some point between the expedition in 9:31 and his return to Kirkwall in 9:34. So I don't think we can blame Bianca entirely for leaking it's location, since the genie was (probably) already out of the bottle.
