I'm Hawke. I've a talent with healing, although it's not at all the kind of healing you mostly seem to have here. More magic, less things that go beep beep beep a lot. I also have experience with animals, especially handling dogs.
And I'm not, or wasn't, uh... precisely.... a government official? I'm the Champion of Kirkwall. It's sort of a government thing, sort of not, not sure it means much of anything to anyone who's not a Marcher. Most Free Marches things don't.
