Zaahiriel, a sword and shield hunter of Clan Lavellan, was tasked with going to the Conclave with Nailah, but was stationed miles away from the venue and thus wasn’t caught up in the blast. Upon the creation of the Inquisition, he took on the title of Lieutenant, occasionally working alongside Cullen when he feels he needs to be kept in check. While Zaahiriel and Nailah had a somewhat rocky relationship growing up, the two are closer than ever thanks to the Inquisition.

Upon the disbanding of the Inquisition and Cullen’s retirement, Zaahiriel takes both the title and position of Commander of their handful of troops.

Captivated by Solas’s intimate knowledge of the fade and general soft-spoken demeanor, Nailah quickly found herself taken with him. The two began a relationship that seemed to be going well until the Temple of Mythal, after which Solas ended the relationship in order to stay on his own path. Heartbroken, Nailah struggles to come to terms with their new dynamic in the face of the impending doom brought about by Corypheus.

After the events of Trespasser, Nailah, always one to see the good in people, resolves to find a way to change Solas’s mind and bring him back from the ledge, much to the disapproval of her brother and Inner Circle.

Inherently fascinated by all things “weird,” Cole’s situation piqued Nailah’s interest. As she got to know him more, she saw how they shared some similarities and her heart went out to him. They became close very quick; Nailah’s one of few people who can usually stay on the same track with Cole, understanding and relating to his words no matter how scrambled they may seem to others.

Considering the Lavellans his family, Cole stays with them both post-game and post-Trespasser, where he continues to help others and learn the ins and outs of being a person through Nailah’s influence.

When Sera joined the Inquisition, no one could have imagined how close she and Nailah would become. Sera provides a balance to Nailah’s life by getting her involved with the smaller aspects of the Inquisition and by getting her to have a little fun for once. The two obviously have a number of differences, but they’re able to compromise on them and get along regardless.

Sera returns to the Red Jenny’s post-Trespasser, though her friends keep an eye out for the Inquisitor should she need anything. They don’t write often because they’re both always on the move, but when they do cross paths, hijinks follow.
