If it turns out to be only one character, I think it will be either Rhys or Cole or Lambert. I'm not convinced that we will see exactly and only one, though. There are several characters whom it would make sense to see in Inquisition, given their roles.
It occurs to me as I write this, though, that the character we see might well turn out to be Fiona, or the Divine. I don't think it's a good idea to discount them just because they appeared previously in other games or books. If a Dev didn't specify that the character debuted in Asunder, let's not go assuming that's what they meant.
Also, OP, bear in mind that Vivienne is pro Circle--presumably this means she's an Aequitarian like Wynne or Irving, or possibly even a Loyalist. I see no reason why we couldn't have Adrian as a companion just to represent the opposite view. Having two mages on opposite ends of that spectrum as companions would be interesting, I think; especially if both women turned out to actually like each other.
In response to the first paragraph: Yes I imagine we will see more than one character from Asunder, given the importance of many figures that appeared in the novel and the roles they may come to play in the Mage-Templar War. I personally believe that Cole will be the companion, but I also think that we will indeed see Rhys, Adrian and potentially Evangeline if she is alive.
In response to the second paragraph: I was not discounting any other characters who had débuted in previous Dragon Age installments (I apologize for the confusion my phrasing may have caused); for the sake of my own ‘arguments’ I decided to limit the number of character speculations to those who débuted in Asunder.
However, I stand by my point that it is equally fair to assume he did mean a character new from Asunder as it is fair to say he just meant a character that appeared in Asunder.
This is the tweet Mike Laidlaw was responding to:
Is it possible that a certain character from a certain book might make an appearance in a certain game?
We have no reason to assume that it will be one of the newer characters, but we also have no reason to assume that’s not what they meant. I think if he meant a character like Leliana or Fiona, he would have said something more like ‘from a DLC’ or ‘one of the DA novels’ rather than Asunder specifically.
This early in the game, so to speak, anything could happen. It’s rather exciting, don't you think? I'm positvely shivering with antici..
pation.
In response to the third paragraph: I was taking into consideration that Vivienne is (extemely) for the Circle system – however when asked if she was like Wynne, multiple devs appeared to laugh.
Hysterically. (Scroll down to see the Wynne 'comparison')
Hers is apparently a bit less “calm” a personality than Wynne, or something of that fashion. I don’t know if she is from the Aequitarians or the Loyalists – or if she even is a member of one of the groups (though most Senior Enchanters are, as alluded to in the Magi Origin by Torrin, I believe). It would be interesting to see her as a Loyalist though - we haven't seen a proper, non-rediculous, Loyalist yet.
I believe in the original post I said, “It's not to say that both couldn't be companions, but I personally can't see it happening.”
Vivienne and Adrian very well could both be companions, I just don’t think that it will happen. It would be interesting to have Adrian there to present reasons why mages should not follow the Circle system, but even then, I don’t think Adrian would be a great candidate to do that (more likely she's interested in working with her own 'forces' rather than joining the Inquisition, but its all guessing; there will likely be a character who does present those issues to the Inquisitor, I just don’t know if I’d bet on it being Adrian.
However, I
really don’t think the two will/would like one another.
I’m going by complete speculation obviously, but given their statuses as two Orlesian Senior Enchanters (potentially meaning that they both may have interacted with one another in the politics of the Orlesian Circles or at the College of Magi) with directly opposed views on the Circle, I feel that, at least, Adrian would strongly dislike Vivienne for the same reasons she dislikes Wynne. It appears that any mage who does not follow along with her separationist views (even Rhys [she didn’t dislike him per say, but that is neither here nor there]) is someone that she would be rather upset at – especially when said person is an influential member of the Circle of Magi like Wynne and Vivienne are. Whether Vivienne would have any opinion of her is another matter entirely.
