History

Wiki here!

Krem/Bull's Chargers were hired by the Herald at Haven and have just been working with the Inquisition in the background ever since, mostly stationed out of Skyhold but he is now headed down to Kirkwall to help out there.

Personality

We come to Krem pretty late in his personal story, where most of his demons have already been conquered. He is, at this point, pretty laid back and confident in himself and the company he keeps. He has a very dryly sarcastic sense of humor, constantly cracking wise and playfully ribbing his commander and his friends, but in turn he doesn't take himself too seriously either. He is extremely loyal, and in some world-states will fight to the death for the sake of securing the Inquisition an alliance if Bull doesn't call for him to retreat. He is hard-working, frequently volunteering himself/the Chargers to take on dangerous or difficult tasks via the War Table, and through those demonstrates a good head for tactics. He is proactive: a bit of Bull's dialogue if you drag him into the Fade reveals that he talked Bull into joining up with the Inquisition (or at least, Bull lets him think that he did) calling it good fights for a good cause, and while he's eager to help out where he can he is also not squeamish about doing the dirty mercenary work asked of him either.

He didn't start out there, though: when he was younger, still living in Tevinter and trapped in the role of a woman there, he was miserable and angry. He resented his mother deeply for trying to force him to be married off to whatever merchant's son she could find to save their family from destitution, and eventually when putting on a dress and hating his own reflection in the mirror every single day became too much, he ran off to join the Imperial Army instead. The time was massive relief, as he was finally able to live as a man, but the risk of being caught also made it terribly fraught. It was only through being discovered, turning fugitive from the army and subsequently being recruited by Iron Bull that he finally learned to accept himself as he was and enjoy his life, even growing less and less terrified of his past being known after years and camaraderie and support from the Chargers. These days, he will go as far as to make binding jokes with his boss, and answer questions that the Inquisitor has about himself/his time in Tevinter. (Although he will also become annoyed if that's all somebody wants to talk with him about, or aggressive if they imply he's playing dress-up or is simply delusional.)

He likes odd, colorful characters, especially outcasts like the rest of the Chargers. He is laid back enough to get along with people as angry as Skinner (a city elf who joined the Chargers after killing a bunch of humans), and personable enough to win over just about anyone, including a lot of Orlesian mercs to your side during war table missions. He enjoys drinking and music, but his responsible streak usually demands he also keeps a watchful eye oh his team while the Chargers are getting drunk around him.

Opinions & Affiliations

Races: Krem works with all different races in the Chargers and gets along pretty well. Doesn't particularly partake of The Discourse, but probably cuts the dalish and the qunari way more slack than most people would. He minds his own business, basically, and treats everyone like they're people. Works out pretty well for him.
Chantry: Krem holds Andrastian beliefs (and he really did think the Herald was sent by Andraste) but he is not particularly devout. For a long while he was angry at the Maker for making him the way he is, but as his self-loathing died down so did his antipathy towards the Chantry. He thinks that the whole system they've got going in the South is better than the one in Tevinter, but it's still not like... good...
Mage/Templar: He is astonishingly middle-of-the-road on this entire affair, considering that he's a non-mage from the Imperium. But honestly, south of the border they're not even all that bad. Basically, Krem thinks he doesn't know enough to weigh in, thanks.
The Tevinter Imperium: Doesn't have much fondness for the Imperium considering how he left it and how he'd felt growing up there as Soporati and as, you know, himself, but he wouldn't set it on fire if he were given the option or anything. Wouldn't go back either. Doesn't mind being the token Vint around because honestly he gets a quiet kick out of people mocking the Imperium as a way to poke fun at him.

Strengths & Weaknesses

STRENGTHS

Warrior: Krem is an excellent fighter, both with weapons and in hand-to-hand brawling. He hits like a mack truck.
Mercenary: Krem has considerable experience co-running/running a mercenary company, one that has an excellent reputation for effectiveness. His background of a couple years official training as a soldier in the Imperial Army of Tevinter helps too.
Worldly: Krem has traveled all throughout Thedas during his time with Bull's Chargers, and he speaks both Tevene and the Trade tongue.

WEAKNESSES

Mercenary first: Loyalty to Bull/Bull's Chargers will always come before the Inquisition, for him.
Wanted: Krem is still a deserter from the Imperial Army and is technically wanted in Tevinter.

Inventory

Sword, shield, two-handed maul, full suit of armor, fairly heavy coinpurse.

Motivation

Krem is working with the inquisition for a number of reasons, not the least of which is because he has been hired. He thinks the Inquisition is doing Good Work (you know, saving the world and all.) Also where Bull goes the Chargers go, and Bull went here.
