I'll have a very tough time if Cole or Rhys or Evangeline are party members, a very tough time indeed. Cole probably makes the most sense but I hate all of those characters from the books.

[Tinu]

I haven't read Assunder yet (will do this before Masked Empire comes out), but from what I'm reading on the wiki, it seems to me that Cole is the more interesting and complex character.

Evangeline would get in the way of Cullen. And I very much prefer my Cullen.

Perhaps Wynne doesn't really die even if you strike her down in Origins because the spirit of faith is bonded to her?

I'd guess that you'd need to kill the spirit in the fade or force the spirit to leave Wynne to really "kill" Wynne?
Who knows, maybe the spirit has tranformed Wynne into something else and after Asunder she is in the fade?

Even if Wynne is not recruited by the Warden it doesn't mean that she can't become influential member of the Circle. I'd suppose that Wynne wouldn't be travelling with Shale or never got the title of an Archmage in such a case, but perhaps it would not stop her from dooing all the things that are crucial story-wise for mage/templar coflict?

After all when the spirit saved her in the tower she had a sense of mission. That the spirit saved her for a reason.

Cassandra's warhorn sounds like an indication that companions will bring special talents and powers/spells to combat.

Though maybe it's just an item/skill tree thing, given that it looks like any character with a shield can bash enemy armour and break through doors.

The most intriguing feature for me is how the companions will add extra-capabilities to the keeps we hold. I foresee dragon-taming facilities thanks to Cass

I like (and prefer) the character from Asunder to be Cole but...and this is just throwing this out there...I think it could also refer to a Shale who has returned to dwarven form which would fit both the "character from asunder" and "the character whose appearance had changed significantly".

It would certainly be interesting. We already have a Cadash dwarf PC, and it would link to Sandal's 'prophecy', everyone will be just like they were before.

But unless Shale is the first dwarven mage as a result of this ritual, she's probably going to be a warrior, of which we're already speculatng a fair amount of.

I really want a source for this Asunder Character being a DA:I companion thing.

I'm fairly sure Matt Rhodes posted in this thread about the "character whose appearance had changed significantly", and mentioned that he only meant it was a chance to rework the designs and outfits of characters from previous games to add more personality with the Frostbite engine. 

I can't remember exactly what he wrote though, and his account hasn't got the Bioware tag so it won't show up in the list of Bioware posts. But it's.. probably 20 or 30 pages back

How could cole be a companion? Isn't he invisible or something?

[Potato Cat]

I'd love to have Fiona, though I imagine she'll be an important NPC either way. I would just love to see Vivienne b*tch slap her for denying her the chance to become First Enchanter.

[ElitePinecone]

The Inquisitor could see him, perhaps, if we're the usual RPG Most Important Person in the World with Magical Powers™

[ManchesterUnitedFan1]

But if only we could see him Cole wouldn't have any party banter.

Maybe the fade tear gives the spirit a physical presence?

But everyone else won't, which means that he wouldn't be interacting with the other companions at all and companion interactions are supposed to be more present in DAI. Beside, the guy is a demon and the Inquisition job is to close the portals and kill demons...

[chrislynn]

Cole certainly wasn't invisible in the last few pages of the book, in fact it seemed to imply that he had gained a measure of control over that aspect of his character. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for the writers to continue to evolve is his nature over time, whether we meet him already changed or see it for ourselves as part of his story.

I forgot about Matt Rhodes clarifying his statement and like you, I would have thought that Shale would be referenced as an Origins character.

[ElitePinecone]

The question of what exactly Cole is (or what he could become) is something that was left open in the companion description of him in the survey.

A long time ago, a young man died a cruel death in a dark place. And now, somehow, there is Cole. Was he a spirit or a demon? Is he human now? Cole’s not sure it matters anymore. Hounded by memories that aren’t his, invisible in a world he can stalk like a shadow, the rogue must decide between joining the living or preying on them.

If I had to guess, his identity crisis is the basis for his companion arc.

[andar91]

My bet is on Cole.

[Suledin]

My bet is on Shale as a dwarf (transformed from the golem shape).

Cole wasn't invisible.  I haven't read Asunder in awhile, but I was pretty sure that it was revealed in the end that he was subconsciously using blood magic to make people forget him.  I'm assuming now that he knows this it would not be an issue - David Gaider even wrote a little post-Asunder blurb where Cole is holding a conversation with someone in a Chantry.  Someone who is definitely not Rhys.

My vote is for him being the companion character.

[BioFan (Official)]

Is there anything from the other panels posted up yet?

@Tootles FTW: thanks for the link.

Was Cole a significant character in the book or was he more of a side character?

He wasn't significant in terms of the overall plot, but he was by far the most interesting part of Asunder. That and the book ends with him about to do something really bad ass.

Asunder shifts perspective between Rhys, Evangeline and Cole throughout the book, so yes I would consider him significant.

@hhh89 - You're welcome.
