i wanted to make a thread about theuderic haas, aka thierry, my inquisitor who made me really fall in love with DAI he was an assassin from the Anderfels originally sent to the Conclave in Ferelden as a spy for King Wilhelm Augustin, who was concerned about the outcome

i was trying to find a piece of information on thierry back when i first made him in 2022, and i found a lot of conversations between me and my friend Gabe :3 it’s really great early thierry lore!!! so im making a small thread of some screenshots :3 🧡πŸͺ‘

my favorite parts about the fake DAWiki page i made for thierry have to be the DAO-style gifts section + the lame trivia :) i still havent finished up formatting and cleaning up his background/involvement sections BUT !! these are done at least :)

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

YESS im so glad you asked about his weapon specifically !!!!!! because thierry was initially REALLY pieced together using codex entries + item descriptions. this is his canon bow in dai!!! :) EXPLANATION IN THE NEXT REPLY 😭

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

yayayay<3 this will be a long one with a lot of replies i fear lol thierry often dreams about the family ranch, his dog and old nag he used for herding. of target practice with sacks filled with clay dirt. his mother and the twins and family dinner. ngl.link/rookthrice 1️⃣

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

YAY!!!!! thank u for asking abt them πŸ₯° thierry: edelweiss / gold / summer / hiraeth (sounds pretentious but it really fits how he feels about the anderfels) vaena: marigolds / wine red / winter / stalwart ngl.link/rookthrice

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

hehehe hi :3 ok so Main AU thierry smells like linseed (from oiling his bow), cooking spices, leather, hay, and incense. maybe a little like horse. warden thierry would still have the linseed, spice, and leather!! but wears the incense a little heavier because hes paranoid about the Blight Smell

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

oh i am SO glad you asked!! i was inspired by this codex entry to make an assassin from the anderfels who was in the kings service as one of his hands of absolution. as for naming i went by the common theme of ander's names being germanic + then wanted a nicknameable version: theuderic + thierry!! 1️⃣

his armor changes depending on the game but the closest is the garb of kinship in datv! he wears leathers with minimal plating, emphasis on flowing fabric! meanwhile his special weapon is his grunsmann bow that i wrote into his backstory :) its an heirloom from his mento ngl.link/rookthrice

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

maybe oddly, but no not at all! thierry has an admittedly bordering on unhealthy relationship to the wardens. whether its dai or datv, growing up he idolizes them and can be blind to the order’s flaws. dai thierry would become a warden as a way to find a good death &&& ⬇️ ngl.link/rookthrice

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

ooh.. i think itd be more based on ease of takedown. genlock and hurlocks die easier with some arrows to the face than say, an ogre. he prefers the ability to stay long range and ogres close the gap too damn fast i also think hed want to put shrieks out of their misery quickly ngl.link/rookthrice

thierry wears a lot of loose, draped clothing. salwar is his go-to for bottoms because theyre comfortable and airy + he layers a lot, usually natural fibers like cotton and linen, and wool for outer layers. light colored fabrics and darker leathers, lots of belts, and heeled boots.

vaena was called β€œqueenie” by varric 🫢 thierry’s name is a nickname of his full first name β€œtheuderic”! its what his (orlesian) father called him varric never settled on a nickname for him… i think hed call him bambi in a world where that wasnt breaking the fourth wall πŸ’€

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

vaena speaks nevarran (and reads/writes tomb-script) and trade! she's elfblooded but never had any sort of connection to elvish thierry is a certified polyglot, he can speak 1. ander 2. orlesian 3. conversational antivan 4. conversational qunlat 5. some tevene (ty dorian)

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

ive not thought much about him as a warden yet, but in his original form, his background of being a weapon for the crown means hes REALLY good at compartmentalization and depersonalizing himself from a situation. he doesnt anger easily because hes used to blocking out strong emotion in general (1/3)

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

thierry has chronic migraines with aura! hes also allergic to apples & roses vaena has developing cataracts in her right eye, probably a little astigmatism, so she wears glasses in her downtime :) shes also got some arthritis and stiffness that comes with older age

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

thierry saw varric as a friend, but varric never really saw him as one back. not for lack of trying on either's part, but there was always a rift between them, even before hawke's demise. in haven, varric was a step away from leaving and thierry always had a mask on. ***(1/3)***

incomplete, but josh liked the post individually 50 times so i really have to uphold my end of that bargain

rook πŸ¦‡@rookwind.com

my little guyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. depending on my memory and motivation ill do these regardless of likes honestly i just wanna talk about him πŸ₯°

β€” UNIVERSES 🌎 MAIN: thierry is the inquisitor, leading after a failed assassination attempt lands him in the middle of corypheus' plans. DATV: thierry never became an assassin for the crown and instead followed his father's footsteps in joining the wardens MIX: he's tired of being the protagonist
