LOGHAIN DRAGON AGE ORIGINS FREE

Co-Dragons: Howe and Cauthrien are this to him.(Even in the supplemental prequel novel The Stolen Throne, Flemeth warns Maric that 'Loghain will betray you, each time worse than the last.') He only really breaks out of it if the Warden defeats and spares him in single combat, and allows him to atone for his crimes. Most of the Warden's army in the endgame are Loghain's former allies that the Warden saved from his treachery. He promises to merely act as Queen Anora's general, but practically usurps her when she speaks out against him. He promises Jowan he'd fix things with the Circle if he kills Eamon, but abandons him to Isolde. He promises Lady Isolde he'd find a tutor for her mage son, but sends an assassin to poison her husband instead. He promises to help Uldred and the rebel mages, but abandons them to the Templars. He abandons Cailan and the Grey Wardens to die at Ostagar, then pins the blame on the surviving Grey Wardens. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: While not quite as bad as Howe or Anora, Loghain betrays and abandons nearly every ally over the game.As noted, one of his deepest desires is 'a line, clearly drawn, that I can defend.' Black-and-White Morality: How Loghain sees the world.Poisoning his primary political opponent winds up with the man not only cured, but further alienates the nobility, who don't have proof of his involvement but find it awfully convenient that Eamon mysteriously fell ill right before Loghain took power. Hiring an assassin (which might have been Howe's idea) winds up with the assassin either dead or recruited by the person Loghain sent him to kill. His retreating from Ostagar, declaring himself regent, and demanding troops from the Fereldan nobles starts a civil war. The only one of his plans that goes off properly was abandoning his son-in-law at Ostagar. Big Bad Wannabe: Loghain would be a legitimate Big Bad if the Archdemon wasn't in the game as it is, he's a genuine threat, but not the main one.Any time it's brought up (even by him), he nearly boils into a frothy rage.

Berserk Button: Orlais' century-long occupation of Ferelden.However, by the Landsmeet he's been repeating his story so many times he completely believes it, and loudly and proudly proclaims it without so much as a blink. It's unclear how much he believed his claim at the time, but there are hints that he felt at least some guilt, such as his inability to look Anora in the eye when she asked him point-blank if he killed Cailan. Believing Their Own Lies: Right after leaving Cailan and the Wardens to die, he pins the blame on the surviving Wardens an obvious scapegoat maneuver since the Warden sees Loghain at the same war meeting where Duncan cautioned Cailan against charging into the horde as much as him.

Became Their Own Antithesis: After Loghain seizes power, many people accuse him of being every bit as cruel, intolerant and oppressive as the Orlesians he and Maric battled in their youth.

Many find it difficult to reconcile the hero who helped free them from oppression with the despot whose corrupt regime has created so much injustice in the land. The country is deeply divided on the subject of his character and his stewardship of Ferelden. (firmly) But if you can make this the end, Warden, I will follow you. Whether or not you can do better remains to be seen. All of this can rightly be called my fault. I want a line, clearly drawn, that I can defend. (fiercely) I want to ride back to Denerim and sit in the war room and find no empty chairs at the table. Loghain: (taken aback) What I want? What an odd question.
