Chances are, he's an apostate hiding from the Templars. If I was a Mage, I wouldn't be walking around in Mage robes that's for sure...though the staff is a bit of a giveaway.
That's why I think a Mage should have a wand or a dagger they can channel spells through.
Awe yeah.
Well I think the situation would be a lot different considering the war. But we'll have to see how the game chooses to frame the war itself and everything surrounding it.
Considering that is a picture of a child/teenager and BEM is an adult, I think you'll be safe there.
Personally, I don't mind the bald look on elves. I always thought it looked pretty sharp myself.
Actually if BEM's personality was like tenzin's i wouldn't matter at all

Yes! I would love to have somebody like Tenzin as a companion.

How so? Wearing flamboyant robes screams target to the enemy. Especially if you're trying to remain hidden. War isn't always about open warfare.
Well, sure but we don't really know how it has evolved, actually. Maybe Templars are completely gone from the cities or something. Maybe mages are proud to wear those things.
But I guess it's just that mages need to wear their staffs on their backs so the players know they're mages 
Hahah. Good points.Well, sure but we don't really know how it has evolved, actually. Maybe Templars are completely gone from the cities or something. Maybe mages are proud to wear those things.

My dalish Mage will be based off Marethari.....but could you imagine a King bumi?I'm basing my Dalish Rogue after Toph.

Not to mention that we already have concept art of a bunch of people wearing similar clothing to him (in fact, almost exactly the same outfit) who were hiding from the Templars - they're runaways of some sort, and the art is titled "Apostates".
With the Chantry splintering, we do know that some bands of Templars struck out on their own to hunt apostates and abominations - so it's not like mages are free to just walk around throwing spells anywhere without anyone caring.

Do you think runaways have some sort of uniform? They wear what they could get.
Right, that explains why everyone in that image is wearing the same fur patch on their shoulder.
I suppose they went and killed a bunch of squirrels together.
It's meant to be iconic.
All i see is some sort of fur cape on 2 of them.

Then again, Hawke, Merill and Anders ran around in Kirkwall, and no one bat an eye. So if BW take the same path in this game, the clothing shouldn´t matter.
^ I think they've said in the past that player complaints about walking around as a mage without any attention were noted. A lot of people particularly disliked the lack of reactivity to doing blood magic openly in the street, and it's something they promised to look at for DA:I.
Supposedly there was a conversation planned for the early part of DA2 where you'd come to an agreement with the guards or Merideth to be left alone (I forget exactly who it was now), but it didn't make it into the game due to time or resource constraints.
So I don't think it was a deliberate move to ignore the 'apostate' mages in the party, just something that reflected the lack of time they had to do many things in DA2.

EDIT: But of course, in DAI any mages that accompany the player get whatever privileges the world is giving the Inquisition generally, so I doubt anybody except the qunari would kick up a fuss about mages in the party.
And that concept art does show mages being attacked by the Templars. We shouldn't assume that just because Hawke's mage party members got immunity by virtue of being special plot snowflakes, that *every* mage in the world will be protected. The player's companions are all freakishly unusual people, and the plot will bend to accommodate the player in ways that don't apply to every other person in the DA universe.

Bloodbending ='blood magic!Ahhh good, the Avatar references have stopped and my likes are once again safe.
Actually, as I was saying in the Cullen thread, (the cool one, not the DAI ones), I was thinking how what we can speculate from Beardface's execution concept art, it could mirror Cullen's story arc somewhat, albeit he has abandoned his Order already. So of they were both companions, I was thinking the Beardface/Cullen relationship and banter could very well be reminiscent of the Iroh/Zuko relationship.
Anyway, yes, I'm pro-Tenzin companion. (Though I would far prefer a Lin companion)
I'm calling it now.
He is the dalish mage that's in masked empire.
*Drops Mic.

The Dalish have Vasselin. Unless he's a child, he's probably not Dalish. Plus we've already had two Dalish elf mages, our Inquisitor elf will be Dalish. I hope he's not.

I hope he is, based upon the little I read. We are probably getting a non-Dalish elf too, given the game footage showing the blonde girl.
Masked Empire descriptive spoilers follow.
I still think he's of the somniari, possibly from Tevinter. I think there's great potential to explore the somniari lore furthermore within Inquisition, what with the Fade-problems and all. I almost feel like Feynriel's quest was a nod towards Inquisition in this respect.

How could you...
