New companions besides Anders
#1

In the trailers i have seen a gaunt man with dark close cropped hair and trimmed goatee (for instance seen at 0.37 in the Awakening trailer), also seen wearing red armor during the Queen trailer. Probably a warrior, because he's seen using a mace and a shield in the trailer.
I have also seen a dark haired man (looks like some kind of pageboy hairstyle) with light armor and dual wield, so he's probably a rogue.
And there's also the female (possibly Templar, since she was wearing a templar armor) with reddish hair parted in the middle, also seen with a sword and a shield behind the warden in the Anders trailer. So, also a warrior.
So, that leaves one companion, probably another mage to balance things up, or maybe a rogue...
What have you seen?

Male Dwarf Warrior = Oghren
Male Human Mage = Anders
My guesses...
Female Elf Mage = the blond haired woman in the forest attacking the Wild Sylvans
Female Human Warrior = the Templar woman
Male Human Rogue = the dude in the medium red armour dual weapon style
Female Qunari Rogue = just guessing, seems likely to fill the slots

Perhaps an Arcane Warrior?
That is certainly the most versatile class if you were designing characters with limited numbers that had to fill alot of roles...
Of course, I may feel slightly catty and competitive with him... unless he gives me shiny things and has a sleazy European vibe!
EDIT: apparently catty works but the dog word doesn't

Possible female companion near the PC when Anders introduces. Considering Anders doesn't jump of joy or fear to see a known face in the video, and she is quite silent, my guess is that she is a new companion.

A party shot. Anders and Oghren being clearly visible. Third being a sword and shieldist, possibly the PC, and fourth a dual wielding heavy armored person. The quality might be making illusions, but all appear to be pretty male-ish. I could be very wrong. Will update when I get more pics.

Oghren, Anders, Dual wielder (here in light armor, in some he's wearing a heavy armor), PC

PC (he's the second kind of the PC, as seen in the mage vs sylvan short piece of video, at least that's my guess), Sword and Shield man, Anders and "below" him, Oghren.

Oghren, PC (I guess), Anders and another one, my guess being the dual wielder, with his standard heavy armor.

PC, Oghren, Dual wielder (now clearly visible in face) and Anders.

Same shot, different characters... or almost.
Dual Wielder, sword and Shield guy, Anders and PC.

Same characters as the picture above, at least I guess.

Picture of a dwarf and possibly the PC. The dwarf seems like Oghren wearing the Legion of the dead armor, while the PC the Juggernaut armor.
And that's all I took from the trailers.
Also, I have no idea what the last NPC could be. My guess is female mage.

IF he has a new color and if he's really Oghren, then we might as well conclude that BioWare remodeled Oghren and therefore making him have another reason to be in the expansion. Why should they add more work on a character that shouldn't be present.
Note : remodeled I mean just changed hair color.

2 warriors
2 mages

I heartily approve of that division, but my gut tells me that the distribution will most likely be a proportional repeat of the core game: 1 mage, 1 rogue and 4 warriors/warrior-esque creatures.
Consequently my guesses are:
Male Dwarf Warrior (Oghren)
Male Human Mage (Anders)
Male Human Rogue - dual-wielding (guess: a pragmatic reformed ne'er-do-well)
Male Human Warrior - sword & board (guess: a do-gooder)
Female Human Warrior - Templar (guess: zealot, but with redeeming features since the female lead)
Top-secret 'Warrior' of a non-playable race (e.g. werewolf, darkspawn, undead)

The first new character is Anders the human male mage.
The second new character seems to be the dual wielding human rogue.
Along with Oghren and the PC, they seem to comprise the bulk of the four choices we see onscreen. Note that they are all male.
The third new character might well be the female Templar warrior with black hair. The one scolding Anders in his video.
The fourth new character (I think) is the blonde female mage seen blasting two Wild Sylvans in the first game trailer.
The fifth we still don't know about, but a female Qunari Rogue makes the most sense (in terms of variety).
Assuming the above is correct, that would be three human companions and one from each of the other three races (dwarf, elf and qunari). Two warriors, two Rogues and two Mages. That seems about as good a mix as you can get.
I think Bioware may have some sort of DLC after Awakening that lets you get a Dragon into the party (a bit like the Stone Prisoner DLC).
I also imagine at some stage (in a future expansion) we might get a Darkspawn companion, which would be a neat twist.
I also wonder will we be allowed to choose a Qunari race if creating a new character this time in Awakening?

Dunno if you've ever played a female character, but Sten seems quite perturbed that there are female warriors in Ferelden. Which leads me to believe there will never been Qunari female party members, unless it's a very unique individual. I'd say it's unlikely given world lore though.

Is that a proportional representation of the first game though?
2 mages, 2 rogues, 3 warriors and Dog.
That would be 1.5 mages, 1.5 rogues, 2.25 warriors and 0.75 Dog.
Also I think with the Dagger mechanics fixed and higher-level meaning more stat points (and thus possibly better armour) I think Rogues will actually be better 'fighters' than they were in first game. So I'm not sure I agree we will see four warrior companions. For starters the game only supports three melee weapon styles (and one of those is just as much Rogue as Warrior), and we have already seen so many warriors in the first game that I think they will try something different.
Consequently my guesses are:
Male Dwarf Warrior (Oghren)
Male Human Mage (Anders)
Male Human Rogue - dual-wielding (guess: a pragmatic reformed ne'er-do-well)
Male Human Warrior - sword & board (guess: a do-gooder)
Female Human Warrior - Templar (guess: zealot, but with redeeming features since the female lead)
Top-secret 'Warrior' of a non-playable race (e.g. werewolf, darkspawn, undead)
Could be. Although I could see Top Secret Characters being saved for future post-Awakening DLC.
