Just bringing this back up (right click and view image to see it much larger)

Okay. If Cullen was not an important person in the game, I doubt he'd be in this picture. I'm sure we're all convinced that is him. Nor would GI have mentioned him in their DAI article. He might not be a companion (although I really hope he is), but he is definitely someone who is important enough to be in the war room.
Also, this picture:

I'm still pretty sure that's Cullen waving up at the Inquisitor in the background. And for some reason, this particular Keep that they are traveling to reminds me of the Keep at Crestwood. You can see it getting attacked in the background before the Inquisitor runs down to the Red Templar boats. Or maybe it's after, I can't quite remember. So maybe you help Cullen lead a group of regular Templars to safety, and then he becomes a companion? Just some speculation...
Maybe red lyrium is being forced on Templars, or they are taking it willingly due to their lyrium supply being cut off from the Chantry. This group of Templars, led by Cullen, doesn't want to rebel against the Chantry, but they are targets for the Red Templars because they're not switching sides. It's important somehow to keep them safe. Cullen knows what red lyrium did to Meredith, along with the other templars that were there who witnessed her madness, these could be Templars from Kirkwall who followed Cullen to "A New Home" (the title of the picture). Once they're safe in this Keep, Cullen may choose to join the Inquisitor.
