Thank you for your responses. I might be a little less wary of him now. He does not seem to be in his Templar armor in the Last Supper screenshot. Is that significant?
It's still uncertain, but the tagline in the trailer as they show that scene says, "whatever we were before, now we are the Inquisition". My interpretation would imply that the people in the shot have left their previous faction to throw in with the Inquisition.

We've discussed that, and the general consensus seems to be... it might be. He may have left the Templar Order, or it may be that he's wearing different clothing for some other reason or his model isn't finished.
@ellisgreg: Perhaps I should ask @bioware if I should play @dragonage
Would I become immersed in myself?

I am both an adult and a mental health professional, and it would be completely irresponsible for me to tweet a "playing with yourself" joke.

Why did you have to go and do that? 
If I get grief about this at work tomorrow, I'm blaming YOU! 
Does anybody have a link to a video of Cullen arguing that the surrendered mages should be spared and talking about the duties of a templar? (It's in the templar ending.) I think it's his shining moment, but I can't find a clip of it for some reason!

"The Devil's Advocate" is my middle name. 
Thank you for your responses. I might be a little less wary of him now. He does not seem to be in his Templar armor in the Last Supper screenshot. Is that significant?
Possibly? We've never seen Cullen without it before. It was kind of his defining thing. Cullen is a Templar. He served the Chantry, and was proud to do so. Perhaps the events with Meredith rattled his faith, or what happened with Lambert in Asunder, or maybe the Red Templars have made it dangerous to wear the symbol without, like, proof of being aligned with the Divine.
I like to think he left the Chantry and started his own independent, moderate Templars to try and keep the people safe during the war. I think it would add to his character (especially for newcomers) if Cullen were leading a military-type force already before he (possibly) becomes the Inquisition's Military Advisor.
They are so truly the everliving hell out of us.
It's nice to have the attention, though. [PREENS]

Personally, I think it is significant. As someone else pointed out, the inquisitor says in the trailer, "Whatever we were before, we are now the inquisition." And if Cullen is going to be a military adviser of some sort, that means he is going to be advising the head of the inquisition ... not the head of the templars.
IF he is still a templar, then what I'm picturing is him and a few other loyal templars have left the Order (under Lambert) and are now serving the Divine, along with Cass and Leliana. Being a templar is a very sacred and personal thing for Cullen, so I don't see him giving that "sacred duty" (as he sees it) up lightly. Someone would have to make it so impossible, so reprehensible for him to continue being a part of the Order for him to leave it. As repulsed as he was by Meredith actions, I don't think they were enough for him to ditch the Order. So, I'm foreseeing a variety of possibilities here...
1. He was removed from the Order against his wishes. This would interesting story-wise and I think it would be cool if we had to rescue him from a prison or something (for betraying his knight-commander or perhaps for not siding with Lambert). Alternatively, they could've told him (for example) join with Lambert or leave the Order, and he chose to leave, but somehow I don't see him doing that. The Order (or rather, what the Order stands for) is too dear to him. Then again, he's been through hell. Who knows what's going through his mind at this point.
2. He broke away from the Order and has formed/joined a sort of rebel Order loyal to the Divine. To me this seems the most likely case. He was, after all, wearing the templar uniform in the survey leak, but, then again, things change. He was dressed in non-templar clothes in the War Room concept art.
Both of these possibilities will allow his character to continue to grow, and I really can't wait to see what's become of him! The reason I love Cullen is because he's such a well-written character. He is written with such complexity and nuance; he is not a black-and-white character, so to speak. He is a good person who has done bad things and wrestles with what he's done and what he perhaps should have or shouldn't have done. He is, in effect, very much a real person, flaws and all. For an NPC, he really shines in DA2 (which is when I first met him).
He is handsome, and that's definitely a plus when it comes to wanting to romance him with my character. Is he personally my type, no not at all. But I like my characters' boyfriends and girlfriends to be good-looking people; if that's shallow of me, oh well. Hence why I'm so disappointed with the current crop of potential companions, but as always, we'll have to wait and see. Maybe I'll come around to one or two of them.

Found it. Starts at 2:00 minute mark (I do not know how to add time stamps to videos).
Thank you! That's it. 
DaySeeker, I encourage you to have a look at this if you haven't already. (Assuming you're still reading.) Particularly noteworthy, I think, are how Cullen describes what being a templar means, the fact that he's stating the opinion that accused blood mages may be innocent of wrongdoing, and that he now seems to think saving the Ferelden mages was the right call and he was wrong to demand their deaths. Cullen isn't perfect even at the end, but he's made a lot of progress!
*GASP* well Hannah, you have to do it now. If you don't, all the neighborhood kids will know you're a wimp.
We can't have that! No one takes Hannah for a wimp!
I'm so awkwaaaaard! Why did I tweet that? Now Greg is going to judge me. *hides head in shame*

I both laughed so hard I had to catch my breath, and saved that image for future use.
...Wait, Greg favorited my tweet? I don't fail the internet forever. Thank goodness he's a good sport! 
@ellisgreg You should certainly play @dragonage Inquisition!
We also suggest playing Origins as a Mage #Cullenites never forget!
I found this gif earlier when I searched "excited" and wondered why someone would ever need it ... and now ... here we are:
When you want someone to notice you and then realize it was for the wrong reasons. xD
Haha, that is a perfect approximation of my emotions! Also saved for future use.

Now you see why I encouraged you. Dirty remarks almost always get a favorite from our saucy little VO. 
Now you see why I encouraged you.
Haha you were right! I am seriously the weirdest person - I will restrain an acting out adolescent without hesitation or fear, but the possibility that I might have said something embarrassing on the internet, particularly in front of someone "official," reduces me to a quivering pile of terrified jelly. So awkward!

Considering Mr. Ellis has made jokes about Cullen and oral sex before, I wouldn't worry about embarrassing yourself in front of him.

Greg Ellis@ellisgregDid #Cullenties catch my 'amazing pun' I wonder - Are you (bio)aware …My fav line of the day - "Will Greg Ellis give Culleningus"#blush
Oh Maker. Greg Ellis is really too cool with us. I kinda feel like he is trapped in a Cullenite's basement being forced to type these, or someone is wearing him like a suit and tweeting.
*EDIT* Top of the page Cullen!

I don't know what you are talking about! I don't even have a basement! #suspiciouslydefensive
Nah, as soon as he found out Cullen is actually quite popular, he embraced the crazy all on his own.
