Codex textSer Whitmore,When I mentioned powers greater than the templars, I didn't mean the Chantry. Sure they command the templars, but that was not always so—the Inquisition once hunted heretics and cultists as well as mages, and their reign of terror ended only with the inception of the Circle of Magi. They became the Templar Order, for good or ill the watchers of the mages and the martial arm of the Chantry.It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, but few know that the Chantry created yet another order to watch over the templars: the Seekers of Truth. I know little of them myself, but I can say the following things with certainty: they serve the Divine and they are feared. When a Seeker steps from the shadows, templars run for cover—because why would he come unless the templars somehow failed in their duties? Seekers are extremely effective investigating abuses within the Circle and hunting particularly evasive apostates. It's said they are immune to a blood mage's mind control and possess the ability to read minds or erase memories, but this is likely exaggeration.So we return to my original dilemma. Who watches powers greater than that of the templars? One assumes it's the Divine, but how much could She know about their activities when their very existence is a mystery to most?—A letter from an unknown priest, found in the Grand Cathedral archives, 8:80 Blessed[/i]

AFTER READING THIS... DON'T YOU THINK IY WOULD BE JUST AMAZING TO PLAY A SEEKER IN DA3?

I don't think the Seekers are that amazing. If "Seekers are extremely effective investigating abuses within the Circle," then why did the ongoing abuse in the Gallows, the tyranny of Meredith and the rising tension between Kirkwall templars and mages go unchecked for so long? If Seekers "watch powers greater than that of the templars," then why are all the Circles and many Templar orders breaking away from the Chantry because they’re finally fed up with all the corruption?

Let's face it: If the Seekers had been doing their jobs, then this entire mess would never have occurred.

I think the Seekers' role is to investigate pro-mage corruption. I highly doubt many care about templar abuses. In any case, that codex entry was written by a priest.

Lamberth in Asunder was the top Seeker.. And he sided with Templars against the Divine.

I think Seekers are like Spectre on ME. Above the law and some of them go corrupt
