[ Mark thinks, privately, that after everything he's done, he really doesn't have the right to get angry at just about anyone. But, hey, if Hawke isn't thinking that, he's not going to encourage her to do so. ]
No, I was. It's only... well, I can't honestly say they were never a threat, but their hands were pretty tied when it came to dealing with me in particular.
...I really need to stop joking about how scary I am.
[ She's not! Not really! Usually? ]
No. If I'd been the usual variety of rogue mage, I'd have been arrested and dragged off to the Gallows, assuming they didn't find an excuse to kill me on the spot. You know, like looking at them funny or something. [ Someone's not a fan of templars, clearly. ] But I managed to stumble into the oh so lovable role of Champion, so arresting me would have caused more trouble than it was worth.
Something like that. I'm sure it helped that I wasn't just some nobody who strolled in to save the day, but becoming the Champion definitely protected me from a lot.
Incredibly long story short, their leader went insane. She was going to annul the Gallows, whereas I thought that was a terrible idea and tried to stop her. I could say everything sort of caught fire from that point, but the city was already burning at the time.
The end of the Knight-Commander, yes, but the templars?
No.
Those were only the ones at Kirkwall and enough of them survived to hold the tower. What was left of it, anyway. Those ones were also the ones who, thankfully, agreed that it was all crazy, so I got to walk away at the end. Far, far, far away.
