Ultimate Dragon Age meme: five mages - Dorian Pavus | Necromancer 

“Now… what was I talking about? Ah yes, me.”

Dorian was born to the prestigious House Pavus of the Tevinter Imperium, demonstrating from an early age a flair for magic which made him the envy of his peers. Dorian studied at the Circle at Vyrantium and later served as a student under magister Gereon Alexius, though eventually Dorian became disillusioned with Tevinter lies, scheming, and the illusions of supremacy.

With his magical ability, wit and charm, it would seem he would have had a promising career in Tevinter had Dorian not become a pariah for opposing every fault his homeland is known for. Dorian bears his ostracism with pride as he feels Tevinter will only change if someone like him makes a difference.
