I thought that Meredith actually recruited him because she agreed with his views?
In fact I thought that Gregoir specifically was said to have shipped him way out to avoid him being around mages?


That's correct! I wonder if he randomly ended up in Kirkwall, or if Meredith headhunted him?

Nope, the jerk was going to arrest me and my crew after we bailed the templars out. He salutes you and lets you go because he knows your group would flatten every last templar in the square at the end of the game.

In Witch Hunt, its daid he got shipped out somewhere else (don't remember where, but it wasn't Kirkwall) but somewhere that was away from mages, some quiet place in the country.

How he ended up in the Gallows specifically I do not know, but regardless, the Chantry should have stepped in and said "no." Since Meredith is still technically part of the Chantry, and for that matter, so was Cullen.

But then again, Meredith is another example of someone who should have never been allowed to be in a position over circle mages, given what happened with her sister. She should have been either put on assignment to some local Chantry, or put in a templar unit that only deals with apostate mages. or exalted marches.

But both were clearly mentally scarred by their experiences, and they certainly had the right to feel this way. That's normal. But it also makes them extremely poor choices for positions where they will be required to supervise and control mages who are living legally within the Chantry's limits, if the Chantry is even remotely interested in a system that is functional and working.

It would be like, say, taking a guy, whose house had been robbed and his family murdered by individuals in group A, and then taking that guy, making him a policeman or prison guard, and putting them in a position where they will have direct control of a prison filled with inmates mostly from group A. Or, putting them on patrol in a neighborhood or district of the city that is primarily ihabited by people from group A.

And then being surprised when suddenly, all hell breaks loose and chaos insues. But that's the Chantry in a nutshell.:?

I like Cullen. He can't help it if he's suffering from PTSD. I figure if Bioware can take Anders and turn him into a raving abomination, they can take Cullen and convert him into a mage-lovin revolutionary. Think of the writing challenge! (Tongue-in-cheek, here).

I think Cullen makes a fascinating character study. In Origins he saw the worst mages can do. But in Kirkwall he saw what happens when the corruption of the templars goes too far. He's seen the worst of both sides of the fence and I would like to see how he develops in DA3, companion or not.

This and i also think that he is responsible for the action.
Btw, i don't think he has the ball to arrest my Hawke after i killed almost everyone in the gallow including Meredith.

No, his character stole Greg Ellis from Anders.

So it's totally fine to respond to a genocide order with "Well, I don't really want to do this... oh well," and proceed with the head-chopping posthaste?

Well, first, you're using "genocide" wrong. Meredith doesn't want to kill every mage everywhere. She's ordered a Right of Annulment on the Kirkwall Circle. Also, mages are not a national, racial, ethnic, or religious group.

Second, this is fantasy world without a United Nations law to define genocide and punish it, so even if it were genocide, it wouldn't be illegal.

"massacre" is the right word to describe Meredith her action. And i also think Meredith is already in madness at some point at the end; therefore, this lead to me believing that "Meredith doesn't want to kill every mage everywhere" was a wrong statement. 
The RoA  pretty much telling people that The templars found no way to solve the problem and so it is their last choice. However, RoA didn't help but instead it just made the situation become more violent and triger a war. 
Mage is the person who has the ability to use magic and he or she could be any racial in any national.
In reality, i don't really think UN has that much power in term of demanding certain country to do something or force to do.
