So what does that make Hawke and the Inquisitor?
Absolutely nothing.

I hope not. I want the Inquisitor to have no connection with Hawke in what ever way.
Good luck with that it is dragon age almost every other character is connected to each other even if character is on other side of thedas pretty much hawke was connected in many ways to the warden (for example anders or merril if you were dalish warden and thats only few of many).Hell we already have connection that is Varric.

I'm fine with little things like Varric, but not personal connections.
For example: the Inquisitor grew up in Kirkwall and knew Hawke.

I'd be fine with the Inquisitor being from Kirkwall but, like Nathaniel Howe, was squired out during the events of Dragon Age 2. That way he (or she) has a vested interest in what happened in Kirwall prior to the Mage-Templar war while not being directly involved in it.

He didn't have to knew hawke but for certain he heard about him as even in tevinter they know about him.
I actually think it's rather likely. We know what Kirkwall's like. We know it's culture and it's social structure. We know it's districts, we know it's architecture. We don't really know Starkhaven that well, or any of the other Marcher cities that I don't even know the name of. Being from Kirkwall, we have a better idea of what our characters mentality and history would be. We'd have a very general idea with any other city, but Kirkwall gives us a very concrete idea of the environment that shaped us.
Being from Kirkwall also gives us a personal stake in one of the game's story arcs, which is always helpful.
I mean it be cool and all but being from Starkhaven or Tantervale or another Marcher city would give us more insight and background information on that city. We want to know more about the Free Marches, not hear the same info.
Hope not, Then my PC might catch w/e was in the water in Kirkwall that made everyone stupid and insane.
I'd be happy with any City-State but Kirkwall, hopefully Tantervale or Starkhaven though since they are the most powerful.
Actually, Starkhaven and Kirkwall are the two most powerful cities in the Free Marches. But yeah, Tantervale is apart of the big 3.
Wasn't stated that revka (leandras cousin) married a trevalyan?
Source?
It would be weird if he was from kirkwall when there was no mention or appearance of him/her in DA2.
That would be my problem with it as well. If the Inquisitor is a noble from Kirkwall, why was he or she completely uninvolved in events like the Qunari occupation or the Mage-Templar War?
That isn't to say that you couldn't have an Inquisitor from Kirkwall, just that if you do, I think he/she would need to be written out of Kirkwall during the most important events in Kirkwall's recent history. Warriors and rogues would need to be studying or squiring or what have you in another city at the time, while the noble-born mages would need to be assigned to any Circle but Kirkwall's.
Which raises the question; why even bother when you can just let the Inquisitor hail from Markham or Starkhaven etc.

Oh no they didn't.
Not another Amell connection.

Wouldn't that make too many connections to Amell!Warden? I mean, having both Hawke and Trevelyan!Inquisitor as relatives... sounds awfully convenient. No other Warden has that kind of connections, and at this rate Surana!Warden is gonna feel so alone... ![]()
No, the name of the person Revka married has not been stated in any of the games or tie-in materials. I covered this idea in more detail in this post.
I'm sure someone said on a previous topic that the Devs had confirmed in the on-line Q&A that the human would not be related to Hawke or the Warden. I also speculated that if they were a mage they would have been directly involved in events because I erroneously believed there were only two Circles in the Freemarches, The Gallows and the one that burnt down in Starkhaven. However, I was informed that there were several others.
I am interested in how much background they are giving to our races. From what I have read and heard up to now it seems that it will be very basic and you can pretty much fill in whatever detail you want. That said, there must be some points where the subject will come up of events in Kirkwall, since they are still impacting on the current situation, so may be we will be given the option of choosing a dialogue that indicates greater knowledge as would come from someone who lived there or near there and then another that professes ignorance or only bits of gossip, which allows another party to fill in the gaps (which would be particularly for the benefit of those who had not played the previous games).
Oh no they didn't.

No! **** no! No more Amells, damn it!
Nobody wants to live in Kirkwall.
If the human Inquisitor was from Kirkwall, I would think that Hawks would've encountered a member of the Trevelyan family during DA2. I personally think they're from another Marcher city state.
Not being related to Hawke isn't the same as never having met Hawke.
In any event, we never interact with a Trevelyan in game in DA2 and while Hawke as champion does mingle with the nobility off screen, most of their dialogue on the subject implies they consider it to be a tedious chore; i.e., if the PC Trevalyan ever met Hawke, we didn't leave an impression.
It's also entirely possible that the Trevalyan in question is *from* Kirkwall but was simply absent from the city during Hawke's rise to power for whatever reason.
Nobody wants to live in Kirkwall.
I don't want to live there, but I do want the human inquisitor to be from there. I know how to play a human from Kirkwall. I don't know how to play someone from Starkhaven or one of the city states who's names I can't even remember.
How to play a human from kirkwall,
"Be a whiny stuck-up ******, even when you have no money and live in dark town... and if you do have money do the same thing but with better clothes and smelly perfume, to hide your natural stink."
Seriously, we never had a human from Kirkwall in hawkes party, closest we got was Varric and he was nothing like the humans from Kirkwall. He was actually a good guy. Everyone who hung-out with Hawke were travellers or from Ferelden.
All the humans we saw who were actually from Kirkwall were psychos, corrupt officials, criminals. I can't think of one that wasn't... well thats not true, i suppose most of the guardsman weren't so bad, but that's largely because after Aveline took over she cut the bad ones. Donnic was one of the few decent people we meet in Kirkwall.
