A Father to His Men: According to Riordan, Duncan couldn't help having a soft spot for his recruits.Face Death with Dignity: Fatally wounded at Ostagar, he stares down the hurlock general charging forward to kill him with axe raised without flinching.The look on his face screams he would have killed Loghain with his own hands if he could have. He then gazes with Tranquil Fury at the lit beacon, and has deduced that Loghain left Cailan and his forces to die at the walls of Ostagar. Et Tu, Brute?: Duncan, after killing the Ogre, gazes upon Cailan's dead body.Dying Moment of Awesome: Mortally wounded, he still manages to perform a flying take-down of an Ogre (a monster you most likely had a hell of a time trying to deal with at the top of the tower) and his reaction to the Hurlock charging at him with an axe is to throw it a withering Death Glare.Death by Origin Story: Inevitably he dies at Ostagar.Thus it's likely he had you gather them so that if Ostagar failed, it would still be possible to defeat the Darkspawn. Crazy-Prepared: Duncan having you gather the treaties to the Magi, Elves, and Dwarves seems odd until you remember he had his doubts about Ostagar stopping the Blight.For example, in the City Elf origin, he cannot storm the Arl's house to save you, but he can provide the means to do so.ĭaveth: All right for an old bugger. This is evident in the all of the origins, as he wants to aid the player character even without using the Right of Conscription to save them. Despite that, it's clear he still wants to help people even when it's not technically his duty. Conflicting Loyalties: As a Grey Warden, Duncan has to be neutral no matter what unless it's related to stopping the Darkspawn.The Chooser of The One: No matter your Origin, he will pick you to be a Grey Warden.

Duncan can invoke the Right of Conscription.

But Thou Must!: Don't want to become a Grey Warden? Too bad.

Badass Beard: Merrill recalls it in Dragon Age II, remembering thinking a squirrel had attached itself to his chin.

Apologetic Attacker: Tells Jory 'I'm sorry' even as he guts him like a fish.

He also seems to have connections everywhere in Ferelden. He has been a Grey Warden for quite a while now and commands great respect. The Warden-Commander responding to the growing threat in Ferelden and Team Dad to Alistair, Duncan is the one who recruits the PC.

I expect you to be worthy of that title.'
