Yes, but only if he is still a Templar.

DA needs a real Templar companion at last.

[Reaver102]

No he is best left as NPC.

[Friera]

He is so boring, dull and typical. Please BW, NO MORE recycled characters... Varric, Cassandra, Cullen... Too many.

[The Elder King]

No I don't. We already know a lot about him as NPC and he is too much as Alistair. Cassandra will be PRO chantry, there is no need in 2 PRO CHANTRY person.
Anthought I'd liek to see him as NPC.

Pro Chantry=/=Pro Templar.

[Vulpe]

I can't get over how utterly creepy the concept of a templar and circle mage love affair is. I imagine it would be similar to a corrections officer taking a liking to one of the prisoners... Hard to escape a certain connotation. Would be interesting to have Cullen as a companion though. But Izzy takes prime precedence.

 

I think it would be something like this

That means the real templar has to desert his duties in order to join the Inquisitor. That is also why Templars almost never become grey wardens and those that do are no longer a Templar. Rolan was especial case as he was spying on Anders.

Why would a templars needs to desert to join the Inquisitor?

You say,like we have explored his background,personality and views in detail...Seriously,he said a few lines in both DA 2&Origins and people suddenly know it all about him.Even people who do like him as a character (and believe me they are the polar opposite of the image of rabid fangirls/boys people tend to have in mind,in fact happen to be one the most sane and easy going group of guys and gals,I've met on the forums.  ),are mostly speculating about him.

What is undeniable though, even by people that don't want him as a companion for their own reasons which is completely understandable, is the fact that his experiences, will make his input on current events extremely interesting,there is great potential for character development here.

This!

Well how many Templars we know of who operate outside of Order? We've only seen them participating on exalted marches and that is it. Maybe things might change now that they are rogue as the chantry has never allowed them leave or serve anywhere else. To do so was deserting.

What if the templars and the mages would send to the Inquisitor certain people to show their support of it? Or as ambassadors to their causes?

Alistair.

And yes- secon reason I don't want him in my party that he was in games. We already have Varric and Cas I am tired of previous characters. We need someone new.

Ser Wesley Vallen and blind Ser Otto disprove your statements.

Given the state of Thedas, there's no reason the Order couldn't assign a Templar to assist you. Detached duty is not a particularly noteworthy event.

Alistair was not a Templar. He was a former novitiate who takes the opportunity every time the subject comes to tell you how much he hated it.

Edit: Honestly, I couldn't care less if it's Cullen or Ser Knight Captain We've Never Heard Of, I just want an actual Templar companion for once. We've had the pro-apostate view three games running, in multiple variations. It's overdue to have a reasonable representative from the Templar perspective.

[kukumburr]

I'd like to see Cullen as a companion. I just think it'd be interesting to see how he has changed after witnessing corruption in both mages and templars. Also because Greg Ellis is awesome.

Exactly,the more military power and influence the inquisition has the more the other factions will try to get on the inquisitor's good side, unless we provoke them to do the opposite.

[Lulupab]

The Chantry would never allow it. However now that they are rogue it might happen.

 

Wesley Vallen was running.

 

Ser Otto was doing what he was meant to. He was hunting demons and blood magic.

 

So they are not examples of templars joining another faction.

You said it yourself,the templars are now a separate faction of the chantry after the events of Assunder.
I can see them trying contact a powerful organization like the inquisition, and even sent someone of their own to represent their interests.

Wesley was not running. He was on his way to Ostagar to find his wife. After the rout, they managed to find each other in Lothering.

Assisting the Inquisition does not require officially joining the Inquisition, nor leaving the Templars. I'm astounded that I even had to type that out.

US military personnel on special assignment to observe or assist other militaries don't give up being in the US military and become citizens of other nations while on the assignment.

Ambassadors don't give up their citizenship when they take up their post.

Paid consultants don't suddenly stop being part of their parent company when doing work for a client.

The list goes on and on. I suspect you know all this and are pretending ignorance to avoid having to concede the point.

[CannotCompute]

I'm interested in seeing how all of the past events changed Cullen. No doubt he's different from the way he was in DA2. Also, BioWare wouldn't include him if there wasn't any room for character growth.

[Ap0crypha]

I'm probably gonna get flamed by the Cullen fangirls for this, but no. I like Cullen just fine, but the sheer amount of love, adoration, and worship he gets from those girls has turned me off from having him as a romance option...sorta like Alistair/Fem!Queen!Cousland.

 

Now, having Cullen as a companion? Is fine. His character development so far has been well-done, and his opinions on what's going on would be interesting, especially since he witnessed the start of the Mage-Templar War. I just don't want to date him.

[Thunderfox]

Cullen has always bored me, I call him Knight-Captain Blando. His following/fandom baffles me to be honest, but I'd be willing to give him a chance... eventually in Inquisition

[Thresh the Qunari]

i would not care if he was a companion. i just realy don't think he is one

None of the real life examples are in any way similar to Templars, They don't keep their recruits with addiction nor they are given special abilities with help of a sodding drug.

 

The inquisition is a faction. Its a faction that wants peace. If a Templar joins or assists this faction it means he is either not following the Templars anymore or Templars want peace too which is highly unlikely given there will be a war between them and the mages as mages will not go back to old circles which is what the Templars want. Maybe a Templar sub faction that wants peace? That could work, this faction could be the "good Templars" and I can see Cullen being a member of this one. Not the original templars waging war.
