I actually personally disliked a lot of the nobility in the game. Except for Teeeeeeegaaan, he was alright.
I'm not really a fan of Teagan either. Okay, he has one moment of glory, standing up to Loghain and even that is tempered by him starting a civil war (Loghain staged a coup, Teagan turned it into a civil war) while a Blight is on. Maybe he should have waited with that, just a little.
Then you run into him, where he is bravely protecting the, well, protected area. I mean, there's certainly no people with lighter wounds that could do that, or, say, a commoner rather than a noble who has been trained to fight and has better gear. No, just a quick word of "hey, incompetent fool, how about you stay in there and 'protect the women, last line of defense' so you don't get your lame *** in our way" and he's happily out of the picture.
Mind you, he could have led the knights into the castle himself before the players even got there, but no, that'd require a willingness to put his people before himself and do his duty. He doesn't even help set up
the defenses. Isn't out training the guys practicing. He isn't helping to build barricades. He isn't helping to tend the wounded. He isn't running around town inspiring people, like the barkeep, the elf, and the blacksmith to help. He isn't out saying "hey, we got some oil in the shop we can use."
And what does he do when the party shows up? Does he encourage them to go into the castle and end the threat? Nope, he has them spend the day setting up defenses and hides the fact that he can even get them into the castle. Basically, if the party is inclined to help, he could have gotten them to agree to delay going in regardless. And if they weren't, they could have gone in and at least provided a distraction.
So then Isolde, who is more incompetent than Teagan shows up, and say "hey, come to the castle, this cannot possibly turn out badly" and the fool agrees, justifying it because it'll form a distraction so you can sneak into the castle. This ultimately leads to him leading a bunch of guards to attack you.
The players have restored some semblence of order to the castle. So he gets to stay home and play wet nurse, not really accomplishing anything.
Finally, the players restore his brother. Now you can actually get things accomplished. The brother has a plan. The brother can inspire people. At this point, Teagan becomes even less of a factor than he was before.
Basically, Isolde is a stupid cow. But Teagan is an incompetent fool.
