Inquisitor: I’d like to know more about Anders. What was he like?

Hawke: What a guy holy shit, it's an honour to have him as a friend. This motherfucker kept half of Darktown and Lowtown alive when the Chantry's "charity" forgot their existence. This motherfucker spent six years trying to convince people maybe mages deserve basic human decency, all while evading Meredith and her bucket-head brigade. This motherfucker saved countless mage lives helping them escape from the Gallows prison right under the Chantry's nose. This motherfucker gave hope that maybe mages have a chance at living. You don't know perseverance until you've met Anders.
