Meet Vivienne the mage in this Dragon Age: Inquisition video
Vivienne is a human mage and official enchanter to the Imperial court in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
According to Bioware, not only is she "respected", but she is feared because not only is she a master of the arcane arts, she can also "rip apart her opponents verbally, politically, socially."
Yikes. I'll try to be nice to her during my playthrough.
Have a look at her introductory video below.
Dragon Age: Inquisition releases on November 18 for PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
