The Iron Bull is all but confirmed he was in the reveal trailer about 34-38 seconds in he has the same armour type, the scar and the beard, the game informer cover story and finally Matt Rhodes concept art, he's wearing the same armour and on his left armguard is the x also the sword looks to be the same judging by his armor he might be a rogue but could be a warrior who knows.

The Bald elf appears in multiple concept arts, the war room, a new home, and the cave.

Sera the female elf with blonde hair or had green hair at some point, has been in the videos as a party member, the tavern, and there's a number of old concepts of her or another elf.

The old grey warden he's been in the video as a party member, the tavern,the concept art of him near a execution place holding the grey warden necklace.

So
Cassandra Female Human Warrior
Varic Male Dwarven Rogue
Viveane Female Human Mage
Bald Elf Male Mage Dorian?
Sera Female Elf Rogue
Iron Bull Male Tal'Valshoth Rogue or Warrior
Grey warden Human Male Warrior
Cullen Human Male Warrior
Female ? ? ?

So a ratio of 5:4 male-female
3 or 4 Warriors, 2 or 3 Rogues, 2 Mages, and one unknown
4 Human, 2 Elves, 1 Tal'Valshoth, 1 Dwarf and one unknown

Edit
Bald elf guy is a Mage since in the cave image in front of the pride demon he is holding a staff in his right hand.

I like the speculations of the characters' personalities/backstory. In fact, the description of Mr Moustache as a paranoid Tevinter mage would actually make me more interested in him than what we currently know about him (which is that he flails his arms when emotional about something).

I think Cole is perfect for a DLC character. If you go by Asunder, he's just out there, like Shale.

I think so too, that way, if you haven't read the books/don't want a book character/dislike Cole himself, you don't have to have him, but if you're interested, he's right there.

With all the Fade business, it makes sense to have a character with an intimate knowledge of it on the team - with a different perspective to a mage.

And I don't see Flail O'Fancymustache as being significantly hinted, he just appeard in the war room art, and I don't buy his others supposed appearances, besides He doesn't look Tevinter at all, he looks more Orlesian with that fancy facial hair

Baldy McSmugs looks more Tevinter with his bald of awesome and dat smirk

Also, really hope Cole would be in the party

I'll agree with you about Moustach man. I'm completely reaching on that one. I just liked the concept that popped in my head about a eccentric Tevinter Magister. The more I look at him, the more I get the feeling he is a Rogue of the swashbuckling nature.

In fact, the red headed woman on the right here:

could actually end up being the Tevinter Magister and would make sense since that balances out the the genders a bit more.

I do have to disagree about The Elf being from Tevinter. He looks so much more rugged with the animal pelt shoulder strap. It screams Dalish to me and would make sense since they really should have a representation in the Inquisition.I'm sticking to my guns on that one.

The redhead could be Leliana and I doubt she's already confirmed to not be a companion.

[Han Shot First]

The red-headed woman with hood looks like Leliana to me. I know she isn't a companion, but I wonder if she ends up an agent of some sort.

[BubbleDncr]

Once upon a time the Cullen thread convinced me it would be the greatest thing ever for Cullen to be a companion, and a romance option. So I'd be a little bummed if that doesn't end up happening. I'm hoping maybe Iron Bull or Mr. Grey Warden is secretly a rogue, so there's room for Cullen as a warrior.

If they go with what they say about having companions represent the different sides of the issues, it does make sense to have Cullen in there, since he would represent the Templar point of view - which is otherwise lacking - especially in a game where one of the main conflicts is mages vs templars. I don't really consider Cassandra as a fill in for that role - she seems more to be like Leliana - an agent of the divine. Who the Templar are currently at odds with as well.

I'm hoping for this, but I'm not sure how likely Cullen is. I think he'll be at least a (somewhat) important character, but I don't want to be disappointed if he turns out to not be a companion. He's up in the air, imo

I dunno, he looks a bit too sneaky, too malicious to be Dalish, I associate Tevinter with cunning and deceit, where Dalish elves are more, proud, more haughty. Also, he doesn't have tatoos

Regardless, I hope we'll have a Tevinter companion, even if I don't like this nation at all

[Solas]

I don't know about Iron Bull's armor indicating that he is a rogue rather than a warrior - aren't there a fair few qunari warrior enemies in DAII that are not wearing much armor at all? It seems like a bit of a cultural thing in some circumstances. That said I think it would be cool to have a qunari rogue! We've only had a qunari warrior before and rogue for qunari seems less stereotypical.

Anyway DGaider called (well I assume he was referring to the qunari we call Iron Bull) Iron Bull "the qunari" so perhaps he is no longer called Iron Bull... but then isn't that the name of one of the concept images of him so you never know.

I dunno - with all the Fade business I think it makes sense to have a character with an intimate knowledge of it on the team in the base game rather than in dlc, to "put a face" on or humanize that plot thread as a dev said in some article somewhere.. It always strikes me as off in ME3 for example that something as monumental as a living member of a long-thought-extinct race, with first-hand knowledge of fighting the reapers, was dlc (Javik). It should be something that has a real impact on the story according to the lore, but it can't really because it's dlc. Maybe that's just me though (note: I love DLC and I am not one of those people that shrieks about THAT SHOULD BE IN THE BASE GAME.. just with these sorts of characters it does strike an off chord in me. Anyway)

"If you don't like this character you don't have to have him" I don't really understand that reasoning either - you're never meant to LIKE all of the characters in these games, some of them are clearly intended to get a reaction out of people, positive or negative. I don't think "some people don't/won't like this character" is a good reason to not include them in the roster - and I don't think the devs operate on that sort of logic, either. Besides a fair amount of the time if you don't like a character you're given the option of refusing their service or killing them when they disagree with you etc.

The redhead I think is Leliana and not a companion.

I think it would be cool if he was a companion, just because it would be the first time we've seen a character that was an NPC in both previous games become a companion. It'd be like if Flemeth or Sandal was a companion...except slightly less epic.

[Han Shot First]

Cullen might not be a companion.

Besides not appearing in any of the gameplay vids or concept art, he is a pro-Chantry warrior that is slightly suspicious of mages. Cassandra, confirmed as a squadmate, is likewise a pro-Chantry warrior that is slightly suspicious of mages. With that in mind, wouldn't Cullen be redundant?

There is hint of him in one of the comic books where he is described as an "Exiled Magistrate" meaning that his been kicked out so maybe that's why he doesn't dress like them.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. What exactly does Cullen bring to the table that we don't get through Cassandra?

[coldwetn0se]

Isabella was an NPC who later became a companion, so Cullen would not be the first, if he became a companion.

To me, the difference between Cassandra and Cullen are their ultimate goals. I don't know where Cassandra ended up in her alligeinces after Asunder, but at the end of DA2 she seemed to be working for the Divine to figure out why everything was hitting the fan. I don't know at this point if she is loyal to the Divine or the Templars.

At this point, we know the Templars have split from tthe chantry. So it could be worth having a companion with the viewpoint of the Chantry (Cassandra), the templars (Cullen), and the mages (Viviene will probably be pro-circle and some other mage companion be mage-freedom).

Or maybe I misinerpret Cassandra entirely and her and Cullen would be redundant. I don't know.

What I do wonder a bit is - over the course of Varric telling Cassandra about Hawke, Cassandra ends up thinking very highly of Hawke. So I wonder if maybe Cassandra's view mages could be slightly different depending on if Hawke was a mage or not.

I guess I forgot about that. Though, Cullen did have a bigger role in both Origins and DA2 than Isabella had in Origins, so I do find it more interesting.

They haven't shown him because they're saving the best for last.

[The Elder King]

Seekers and templars aren't exactly the same, and they might be different factions. As shown in one the of the concept art about the hooded guy with the rings (which devs said has a relevance), Seekers and templars are indicated by different rings (as we'll as the red templars, who are probably indicated by the lyrium ring).

[Truffle]

Skimming through 30 pages is too much for me. Since when, where, and/or why are people saying Iron Bull is a companion? I haven't seen any indication he is confirmed.

For all we know, Cullen might be kicked out of the templars for disobeying his commander or letting Hawke go.



I mean, if that dude on the left of Inquisitor is Cullen then he doesn't seem to wearing any templar armor.

[Taleroth]

Cullen is the true big bad.

Didn't his VA tweet that he was doing sessions?

Yes, on that basis he definitely would be getting his P45.
