@Xilizhra: Adrian is not "complicated" at all.
And who set these two nobodies in their positions as leaders eh? They're not even Senior Enchanters from what I can tell (I could be wrong here)... and yet two nobodies are boosted to the positions of leaders of the two largest factions over Senior and First Enchanters. Adrian easily makes more sense - but the Rhys thing is so "out there".
Rhys was backed into a corner and didn't have the spine to say no. I say that because he was backed into the war. He did not want it.
That these two were conveniently placed into leadership roles of the two largest factions (because you're mother was a good person... WHAT?) wreaks of manipulation - my guess is from Fiona and actually... Irving, who we know to be a scheming bastard. So they could claim non-complicit behavior and save their skins should the rebellion go south - which won't work in my Inquisition playhthrough.
Wynne is a part of why Rhys was made faction leader, but not the whole reason. His charisma (at least as compared to Adrian) is listed early on as a reason he gets along better with the Libertarians than Adrian does, even though she's more a believer in their cause. He has a habit of being present for very significant moments in the Mage/Templar conflict and the fact that he is conflicted and uncertain is used to mark him as wiser than Adrian. Or for that matter...Anders.
Oversimplifying a cause into black and white dichotomies gets you into trouble in Thedas. So does waffling over complications, but it's partially because he does so that some of the Aequetarians might see him as an Avatar for their changing mind set. It's hardly the first time Bioware has had a character launched into authority due to power of personality and a reputation for competence.
He also is a Senior Enchanter, a very powerful one.
That said, you're probably right about Irving.
