Casden

Casden is a Grey Warden from Weisshaupt Fortress. Before becoming a Grey Warden, Casden was from Amaranthine where he was an orpahn, turning to thievery to survive. He always stole from the nobility and never from the commoners. One day, he followed a man into the Crown and Lion and picked his pocket. Casden ran from the inn only to be knocked over by the man he had stolen from. The man turned out to be a Grey Warden named Duncan. He was brought before the guards, but before they could punish him for his actions, Duncan invoked the Right of Conscription on Casden. He was then sent to Weisshaupt to join the Grey Wardens and help them there. The Fifth Blight then began and Casden couldn't make it to Fereldan in time to help. Hearing about Duncan's death some months later, Casden decided to leave Weisshaupt and journey elsewhere. Casden came to the settlement not knowing of the dangers that were plaguing the town and its people. The citizens ran out to greet him and told him of the plight. He introduced himself and decided he would investigate the cause of these organized attacks. During one of the raids, he followed the darkspawn to their hideout. He followed them until the reached a cave connecting to a series of tunnels that lead to caverns located under South Reach. The citizens were being dragged through the ground and into these caverns to then be brought farther into the caves. He followed them until they reached the main cavern where he saw what was leading these darkspawn.....A Brood Mother. He knew he couldn't do this on his own so he returned to the surface and asked for volunteers to join him, but they were to scared to go. Casden walked to the road and saw an injured dwarf lying near a turned over carriage. He ran over and helped the dwarf into town. He revived the dwarf and asked the dwarf to join him against the darkspawn and their Brood Mother. The dwarf, who introduced himself as Nolhah Grimkiller. They proceeded into the cave and fought many darkspawn on the way to the Brood Mother. They finally reached the Brood Mother and battled her and her personal minions. Casden got the killing blow on the Brood Mother and the attacks ceased. Casden and Nolhah returned to South Reach and Casden inducted Nolhah into the Grey Wardens. Casden used the empty Bann estate as a Grey Warden sanctuary and Nolhah would be lead recruiter.
