I don't think the companions' ages are ever mentioned in the game (correct me if I'm wrong), so I was wondering what you guys think. If I had to guess:

Anders: 31
Aveline: 36
Bethany: 25
Fenris: 34
Isabela: 29
Merrill: 23
Varric: 35

(Note: these ages are at the time when each character is first recruited.)

I've never played with Carver or Sebastian, so I don't have an estimate for them. What do you guys think?

[ladyofpayne]

Anders 31? I thought in DAA he was 20.

[Lunare]

Whats about Hawke?

[wicked_being]

Bethany and Carver were 18 at the start of the game. So by ACT 3 of DA2, they're 25 yes. Hawke was probably 19-24 at the start. Was it Gamlen or Leandra who said it's been 25 years since Leandra ran away?

Unfortunately, age and timeline are not clear in the DA universe.

Anders: 24
Aveline: 32
Bethany: 18
Carver: 18
Fenris: 25
Isabela: 28
Merrill: 18
Varric: 35
Hawke: 20-24

My guesses.

@knight of dane

I agree with all the ages except Anders. With a hairline like that plus the crows feet I'd put him around 28-32 at the start. And that's accounting for the darkspawn blood aging him faster too since even most 30 yr olds don't look as old as he does (says someone pushing 30 herself)

Bioware seems to like to make males look too old for their age. Default male Hawke looks like he's at least in his thirties, but he can't possibly be older than 24.  Arl Eamon looks much older than Teagan even though there's not suppose to be big age difference between them.

Indeed. Knight of Danes list is probably most accurate.

[ashyraine]

You make a good point. Silly Bioware. Not that I mind older...but yeah Eamon did look way too old to be Rowan's younger brother.

[CalJones]

That's true. I always thought Alistair looked about 25-28 when I is supposedly around 21 or so. Conversely, Loghain looks bloody good for a man in his early 50s.

I'm really not sure about Anders - he does look at least 30.

[Fieryeel]

Merrill is confirmed to be of approximately the same age as Mahariel and Tamlen, so 20 or so seems very likely for her.

Yep and Mahariel and Tamlen are confirmed to be.. Wait, they aren't confirmed to be any age..

Jesting aside we can only guess what they are "approximately" as Fieryeel said, that english word i can't pronounce.
The only confirmed ones are Carver And Bethany.

[Melca36]

Anders: 32 (39 By Act 3)
Aveline: 30 (37 By Act 3)
Bethany/Carver: 18 (25 by ACT 3)
Fenris: 25 (32 by Act 3)
Isabela: 28 (35 by Act 3)
Merrill: 21 (28 by Act 3
Varric: 33 (40 by Act 3)
Hawke 24 (31 by Act 3)

[DRTJR]

My guess:
Anders: 28
Aveline: 32
Bethany: 20
Carver: 20
Fenris: 25
Isabela: 26
Merrill: 19
Varric: 35
Hawke: 26

[Sabariel]

At the start of Act I, I'd say:

Man Hawke: 30
Lady Hawke: 20/21
Bethany/Carver: 19
Fenris: 25
Aveline: 30
Isabela: 28
Merrill: 15 er... I mean... 20/21
Anders: 27/28
Varric: Hard to say... maybe late 20s, early 30s
Dog: Ageless ._.

Well, Legacy et al la gives Hawke to be 24-25 years old when DA2 starts. (24 when they're running from lothering, 25 after their first year) DA2 puts Bethany and Carver at 18 when the Ogre gets one of them. These ages are given and set.

Aveline can't be more then two or more years older then Hawke. She's more mature, not necessarily older. I'd put her at 28 at the end of act 1. She treats Hawke like a younger sibling, but more so because Hawke seems less mature to her, then because she's so much older then Hawke.

Anders is similar. He's probably no more then a year or two older. I never got the impression that he was very old. If anything, he seems older thanks to justice, but otherwise.. probably 27/28 when we meet him in DA2.

Fenris is very hard to peg down, age wise. He could be 25, or he could be 21. I'd put him at 26, though, because he tells you he served Denarius for 5 years, before being on the run for 3. If he competed at 18 and "won", it would put him roughly at 26 years old. And honestly, it seems like something a brash 18 year old would do.

Merrill is Warden-age. Since Alistair had to be between 18 and 21 (and no more), I always just assumed that the warden was between those ages as well. Thus, logically Merrill is 19-22 when you meet her. Her attitude towards the keeper seems to fit into this as well.

Isabela isn't as old as everyone thinks as well. She's worldly, but I wouldn't put her much past 25 when you meet her either. Considering that she was married off at 13 and then "single" again by 18.

All in all, I'd wager to sa Varric is the only one close to 30..a nd then really I don't even get that impression in act 1 at all. He talks to Carver as if only slightly removed from that particular mode of thought. As if, when Varric was 18 he TOO was bitter about being the second brother, and as the years ticked by he managed to realize its' better to not be the oldest. S0, 26-28.

Hawke is 24-25 if Gamelen wasn't rounding off and if Leandra immediately left Kirkwall after she left the Amell family. You don't know if Leandra had been living near Kirkwall for sometime before she moved to Ferelden. The family did live in many different places, and it wasn't until 10 years ago they moved to Lothering.

I keep changing my guesses every time I play, so here are my current ones;
(At the time when you meet each one)

Anders: 27
Aveline: 26
Fenris: 25
Isabela: 30
Merrill: 20
Varric: 32

For some reason most of them have gotten a lot younger in my head, especially Aveline. But looking at that first scene where she punches the Hurlock in the face... I dunno, she doesn't look very old to me.

[Ellyria]

Ahhh age guessing, what fun. Although I prefer when ages are actually stated, whether in game/manual/by the devs. (It's a quirk of mine).

Here's my guesses, Act 1:

Anders: 25
Aveline: 28
Fenris: 25
Isabela: 27
Merrill: 22
Sebastian: 27
Varric: 29

[Ineffable Igor]

All these are from their first appearance in game:

Hawke: 24 (Prologue)
Carver and Bethany: 18 (Prologue)
Aveline: 29 (Prologue)
Varric: 28 (Act I)
Isabela: 28 (Act I)
Anders: 25 (Act I)
Fenris: 25 (Act I)
Merrill: 19 (Act I)
Sebastian: 24 (Act I)

Those are my estimates, might be a little young by modern standards, but it is ye olde medieval times.  People had to grow up fast.

[EmbryMay]

I don't think their appearances can be taken entirely into account - because it doesn't change. The game spans ten years, but they all look the same the entire time.

Anders - 25. I'm working that more on his life then anything. Presumably, he had this Harrowing around 18 years old, I'm figuring it's kind of a rite of passage thing so 18/19 years old generally, because Jowan was quite worried by not having his, so I think later then that is unusual. Then he's been repeatedly running around, so add another year or two, and then a year in solitary confinement. By the time you get to Awakening, you're looking at 22-23, and Dragon Age 2 is set very closely after Awakening. I agree he looks older, but maybe his appearance is meant to reflect his age more in Act 2 or Act 3.

Fenris - 27. I think his age is the hardest to guess. Elves generally look young anyway, so his appearance isn't a help at all. I presume he was fairly young when he had the lyrium ritual, because Danarius wanted him to be a body guard, and if he was in his late thirties or something he wouldn't be much help. As looking at around 20 then - followed by a few years with Danerius, it's not really clear to me how long he was in Danarius' service. Then in Act 1 he mentions having been on the run for 3 or 4 years I think? So I think late twenties.

Isabela - 29 at least. She's a ship Captain, and Zeveran refers to her as 'Queen of the Eastern Seas' - for her to have built up a reputation in that way.

Merrill - 20. I'm going with the idea she was about 18 in Origins, and just aging her for the time between then and meeting her in DA2, but she's quite naive in a lot of ways, so she comes across as much younger then the other companions, bar your sibling.

Aveline - 27 - she's married, she's an officer in the army, and her attitude as well toward Hawke does suggest she's a little older then Hawke, although I don't think it's a huge age gap.

Varric - 27. I keep changing my mind about Varric, he comes across as...not immature, but young sometimes in his personality, but I don't think he is young. I'll probably change my mind on this again, but generally, I think he's one of the older members - in line with Isabela and Fenris rather then Merrill and your siblings.

Sebastian - 25 at least. In Act 3 he says he hasn't been to Starkhaven in 15 years, and his family sent him from Starkhaven to the Chantry for drinking and womanising - so for him to have been old enough to be a disgrace to the family name, he must have been about 19 or 20 I think, which means by Act 3 he's about 35, so in Act 1, at least 25, possibly older if he had more time as a disgrace. But definately looks young, in contrast to Anders who looks quite old.

Hawke has to be the same age, regardless of sex, otherwise it screws up the lore. If I had to guess at the start of Act 1

Aveline 33
Isabela 31
Varric 30
Fenris 28
Anders 26
Hawke 24/25
Carver/Bethany 18
Merrill 17/18

I know. I was being sarcastic, as Man Hawke looks a lot older than Lady Hawke even though they're supposed to be the same age. At least, to me he does

[Sepewrath]

Its the beard, lady Hawke would look a lot older if she had one

[Sabariel]

His skin is way more lined, as well.
