He runs to Kirkwall where he meets this other mage, who uses him as a bodyguard and living weapon, and (if Hawke is pro-mage) makes him kill, or save, people against his principles.
mind to quote your source ? actually its the other way around.
Fenris requires Hawkes help from start on. Additionally with his personal quests. Fenris is being asked nicely if he would like to take part of an expedition where Hawke would need some help. This is after Fenris already knows that FemHawke is a mage. Its his own decision. No one forces him to do anything.
Yet he keeps b^tchng about and backstabs at the end. <...snip>
You mean it
can be read the other way around.
If you have Fenris in your party, he does fulfil the role of a bodyguard and living weapon admirably.
In a party led by a pro-mage Hawke, there will be quests where he goes along with pro-mage Hawke in spite of his own convictions and principles.
In your playthrough he turned on your Hawke at the end, but in mine he appeased his "let's save the mages!" boyfriend and stood by Hawke, even though he did his share of cross muttering and I-can't-believe-I'm-doing-this-ing. If you tend your Fenris well, and get his
Stockholm Rivalry up to 100% he doesn't switch sides.
And a Hawke who is pro-mage and brings Fenris along to the mage-related missions
does make him help save people against his will. He complains about letting apostates go, he says that it's unwise and dangerous, he says and says and says, but remains on the whole, obedient, even if he does complain his head off. He will fight Templars to set free Starkhaven mages if Hawke tells him to, even though he clearly does not agree with setting mages free.
The thing is that he
allows this. As you say, Hawke is not in any way shown to twist Fenris' arm about it. Fenris, however, (due to game party mechanics or whatever) does keep following Hawke's commands when he says stuff along the lines of "Yep, we are letting these Starkhaven mages go." or "Haha, go to Tevinter and study hard, superpowered half-elf kid!" or "Anders, you will suffer no repercussions for what you did, stay in the party, man!" He might disagree bitterly- he does disagree vocally often- but even if he is scowling most of the time he still does as he is told, though he does not have to.
Edit for:Yeah, it’s the same with the other companions if you Rival them. Merrill will keep dating Hawke even if Hawke keeps the arulindindinholm from her and takes every possible opportunity to scold her about naughty blood magic, maybe because she is incredibly isolated and has two other friends in the whole world. Isabela will keep dating Hawke when Hawke nags her to change her ways and do some personal responsibility etc. Anders will date a pro-Circle Hawke, even if he does put his foot down hard about Hawkes who bargain with demons. Due to gameplay reasons, party members will go against what they believe in and Hawke calls the shots.
Still, none of these seem as... Stockholm syndrome messed-up as the potential Fenris example, probably because of Fenris' history.

Granted it's not the life for your Hawke if you don't believe in the Maker or Andraste. Or you like orgies.)
