If their 'greyness' comes in the form of a man treated as an outcast because he hates how Tevinter is, then I still think they are pretty much still full-stop evil.
It could be more like... there are people who oppose what Tevinter has become. There are good people in Tevinter, who don't follow what seems to be the modus operandi. But those people are not in a position powerful enough to change things. They are silenced by social mores, or oppression, or worse. Too afraid to speak, for fear of the cost of speaking.
And here comes Dorian, privileged, talented, and powerful, who by all accounts should be happily benefiting from the system, but against all odds is appalled by it.
And he uses all that privilege and power and talent to work towards reform and redemption. At great cost to his status and his future, probably.
He isn't the sole good person in Tevinter, he's our window into that forcibly silent side of things. The tip of the iceberg, as it were. Kind of like Maevaris was, but more on the outright "good" side of the moral spectrum.
... Or at least, that's what I was thinking. I could just be an idealistic dumb.
Edit: It probably also helps, when you're debating social issues in Tevinter, to be powerful enough that you're untouchable in the shadows. Where, you know, you're otherwise likely to turn up mysteriously and tragically deceased after very publicly shaming the magisters' behavior. Just saying.
Retour en haut

). I also hope we get his character profile soon, to know more about his character and motivations. "Dashing" is good, but not enough. Also, since DA:O Tevinter has been the country I've been most interested about, so Dorian becoming our window to that society is a great opportunity.
