Sometimes I suspect that Cole was put in as an easy way for the writers to just flat out tell you "Here, this is the character is really like, all their inner most hopes and dreams laid bare."

 

I've really gotten to love the way Cole "listens" to other people, sensing their true selves, at least the part of them that hurts, that he can heal. Seeing past any facade they would normally put up. It's funny how pretty much everyone freaks out about it. ( except maybe Solas, but even he gets caught up a bit by it on very rare occasions )

 

But what about your Inquisitor? Sure we get a small read from him when you first talk to him. Even more so if you talk to him when recruiting the Templars. But those are left intentionally brief and vague to account for the wide variety of possibilities your Inquisitor can represent.

 

I figured it'd be fun for people to come up with what they think Cole would read into their own Inquisitor. A more detailed read after he's managed to "listen" to you for some time. Listening to your Inquisitor's deeper fears, anguish, anger. But also how you face such pains; what faith or courage do you wield against the darkness inside you? What would he say about you?

 

 

So here is the challenge for you all: post what Cole would say about your Inquisitor, using his own words.

"You are not your horns but they are you.

 

A soft scarf wrapped around your head so they wouldn't show, red linen straining against more bone then flesh. It wouldn't stop them from growing.

 

It used to make you mad. They were just like your mother's.

 

But that hurt is gone now, only the memory of hurt remains. Not since the day you stood up, stood between them. Dared them to see you for what you really are.

 

'Leave her alone!' Screaming defiance loudly filling the air. You remember standing above it all, even then you were already bigger then the others. 

 

They were afraid of you that time, and you've come to expect it since. They still know you by your horns first, now trumpets of words that precede you. A false title for a true calling. 

 

It still bothers you when they don't see you.

 

But that's alright, you don't care anymore. There is a bright light where the pain used to be. You're happy with who you are now.

 

You don't wear that scarf anymore."

"I hope they don't realize I don't know what the fcuk I'm doing. It's too late now. They already do."

"The Dragon has triumphed. The World burned beneath the Shadow of it's Wings.

 

All his Friends have fallen to the Beast. The Champion of two Faiths stands alone.

 

He can not join those, who he believes in, and he can not join those, who believe in him.

 

But strong is his Will and strong is his Arm and when he looks into the Dragon's Eyes he sees a Sister.

 

The Horns on their Heads make them lonely. But they draw Strength from Solitude.

 

They clash. One stands, one falls.

 

In the End, Faith prevails."

[Sable Rhapsody]

The one in-game actually fit rather well for my Lavellan.  But if I had to do a more specific one:

 

"You worry, watch, wonder if it would be just as easy to slip into the abyss.  If the shadow you cast over Thedas will devour you whole.  You don't have to.  You are a candle in darkness, and you would sooner die than let it burn out."

[Dune01]

'Sorrow. Solitude. Stranded in a bare world without colours.

The blood of the Elhven runs through your veins, but it is not truly yours. You stand small in the shadow of the grand, your life pale. You fight through care, you fight to break free from the chains that bind you to the world of rage and death.

The Anchor, magic that you wish to be rid of, is a part of you as much as wings are a part of a high flying bird. Don't resist. There is nothing to resist.

You will find happiness in the warmth of what is considered cold. You will find truth in lie, bravery in cowardice. Do not be afraid.

You are Lavellan and you are of the Dalish. Pain is yours to mend, not give. Stand proud in a bright ray of hope and let go.

You are Lavellan and you are of the Dalish. You are the Moon to whom the Wolf howls. You are the song of the People.

You are Lavellan and you are not of the Elhven. Dawn is yours, not the night. Fight, again and again, for all that is gentle and shimmering in the loudest darkness.

You are Lavellan. Once and for all.'

 

EDIT: Perhaps it's not really in the manner of Cole, but I just got carried away. A fine topic, by the way.

[Barathos]

He likes loot. And herbs. He doesn't know what they do, but he must get them.

[Pierce Miller]

He'd probably go irrevocably mad

[Jazzpha]

"Shunned, scorned, shut out, shut away because of what you were, what you are... halls of marble transfigured into a tower of stone. The sword, wreathed in flame, burnished black on silver armor, but kind eyes, understanding eyes, compassion in dark, far-flung corners. Tried to save them, that night, couldn't. The words of their Creed, fulfilled-- the Maker's will written in their blood. And then the demon took everything from you. You fought, tried to take something back, but won little more than a pale shadow. A shadow in the form of a man, made flesh again by the wound in the sky."

 

And then Inquisitor Lucas Trevelyan spends the next five hours and several steins of beer explaining his backstory to the Inner Circle.

[LightningPoodle]

Ewwww... I'm getti- Did I just step in dog s***? I just stepped in dog s***!!!

 

And that's what Cole would read in my Inquisitors mind.

[Ticomat]

"Lonely and sad, you miss your clan, miss the woods and the halla, the tales around the camp-fire, the lessons of the keeper, and the small figurines of ironbark"

 

"Fear, you are afraid you will fail 'If I fail everyone dies, my friends, my clan, and it will be my fault!', the burden placed upon you is wearing you off, little by little, and you wonder when you will crack"

 

"You like him, Dorian, you long for his touch, wonder if he likes you back, you do not know what to say, you fear you will make things awkward and he will reject you"

 

"Corpses, at night you dream of them, the corpses at the temple of sacred ashes, turned into red and foulness. You wonder if you could have saved them, were you stronger, if you could have stopped this madness before it even began"

damned if you do, damned if you don't. Not original I'll grant you but we are dealing with demons, red lyrium, rifts and the chantry

"Maker, she really does have her full name stitched inside her clothes!"

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

"The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma..."

 

 

(I don't know. My Inquisitor's stony Qunari expression is hard to read. :S ) 

[Tielis]

Great thread, thank you!

 

Before Solas breakup:

 

"She wonders where she fits... thrashing, threadbare, thirsty...  all around is strangeness, so she looks in the old places, places where her kin might have walked forever."

 

After Solas breakup:

 

"She has his visions of the old places... scattered, shiftless, savage... but she doesn't have him.  Angry, acute, ashes... she will be strong, but only because she has to be."

[Precursor Meta]

Corey (my inquisitor) and Cassandra sittin' in a tree...

[Boomshakalakalakaboom]

Not quite what OP was asking but this is Cole and my Inquisitor.

 

Cole: "You shouldn't worry. He doesn't notice it."

Inquisitor: Turns away from the mirror and looks at Cole nervously. "Erm, who doesn't notice what?"

Cole: Smiles. "Cullen, he doesn't notice that blond hair you get just above your eyebrow that grows really long. I know that sometimes you worry because you forget to pluck it out but he doesn't notice it when that happens."

Inquisitor: Groans. "Maker, Cole, some things are just not discussed!" Turns back to mirror and pulls out the offending hair. 

[Cerulione]

" The mountain is so tall, the forest's so green. Eagles rise to the sky against the sun that blinds her eyes. She touches the sand with her hand and wonder how much her life has changed since that bleak dark tower that was her prison."

 

" She is now outside that dark scary tower, free to do as her will. But her fear of her own power chains her heart. She is afraid to hurt people."

 

" She watches him from the shadow, wishes to ease his suffering but unsure how. She can hear the song from the Fade that he hears but cannot dance to the tune."

Dark ocean, falling into blackest waters. You scream as you drown, but no one hears. No one cares.

 

The light above calls and yet it slips from your fingers. It appears smaller and smaller, leaving you to suffocate in the cold, empty depths.

[KyndredRaven]

"Tainted. Broken. Shattered. She tries to wash away the corruption, but fears that only death can rid her hands of innocent blood. 

 

The smell of the Wilds. Innocence. Radiance. She wants to go back to that simpler time. Too long ago. Her feet can't take her there. Duty won't let her. 

 

Sacrifice. Eternity. She calls for him, but does not know his name. Silver eyes guard her. Golden hair tickling her cheeks. Hands touching. Lips molding. Fingers entwining.

 

The scent of hot steel and forges. In the night, the lion roars and she feels safe. From the glass, the wolf calls to her and she is no longer certain of her faith."
