Dragon Age has exhibited a trend over its past three releases, where the apostate mage in the party betrays the protagonist and leaves at the end of the game; Dragon Age: The Veilguard may carry on that tradition. The companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard consist of a party of seven, and include two mages: Neve Gallus, a Tevinter mage, and Emmrich Volkarin, a Mortalitasi from Nevarra.
