Orglos

Orglos is a fictional character from the *Dragon Age* video game series, developed by BioWare. Introduced in *Dragon Age: Origins*, Orglos is a human warrior and one of the main protagonists of the game’s first chapter, "A Call to Arms." He serves as the player’s companion during the early stages of the story, guiding them through the events of Ferelden’s civil war against the Blight.

Orglos is a skilled swordsman and a former member of the Templar Order, though he later leaves due to personal and ideological conflicts. His character is defined by his loyalty, honor, and deep sense of duty, though he struggles with the moral complexities of the war. He is known for his blunt honesty and unwavering commitment to protecting Ferelden, even at great personal cost.

The character’s name, "Orglos," is derived from the Old Fereldane language and translates roughly to "light of the dawn," reflecting his role as a beacon of hope in times of darkness. His backstory is explored further in *Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening*, a prequel expansion, where his past is detailed, including his time as a Templar and his eventual disillusionment with the Order.

Orglos remains a fan-favorite character due to his compelling narrative, strong moral compass, and memorable dialogue. His arc in *Dragon Age: Origins* sets the tone for the game’s themes of duty, sacrifice, and the struggle between personal conviction and larger conflicts. While he does not appear in later installments of the series, his influence on the lore and player experience remains significant.
