The Howe name was once great, known across Ferelden as honorable stewards of their lands and protectors of their people's freedom. But then Arl Rendon Howe betrayed the teyrn of Highever, assumed a title that did not belong to him, threw his lot in with a regicide, and was slain for his deeds. And yet he was the lucky one. He did not live to see his surname dragged through the mud, his family stripped of titles and lands. It is Rendon's son Nathaniel who has suffered for the sins of his father. He has been left with nothing, a pariah forced to live by wits alone. All he knows is that the father he loved is dead by a Grey Warden's hand and that those murderers have now installed themselves in his childhood home.
How to Recruit: Near the beginning of the Awakening expansion, you'll be brought to interrogate a would-be thief within the basement of Vigil's Keep. When you discover that he's Nathaniel Howe, son of Arl Rendon Howe, you can choose to invoke the Right of Conscription to bring him into the Grey Wardens and, ultimately, your party.
