As Dragon Age: Inquisition  players grow their organization and forces, they can recruit not only party members to travel with them, but also agents who work for one of the three Inquisition advisors (Leliana, Josephine, or Cullen). These agents are not immediately obvious or easy to find, and some can be completely missed and lost forever if players don't know where to look or how to convince them to join the Inquisition. Once recruited, each agent counts as a perk, either in Forces, Secrets, or Connections, which can help players unlock more advanced perks without needing to spend Inquisition Perk Points. They also decrease the time it takes each advisor to complete a war table mission by about 5%.

There are up to 24 Agents players can recruit across Thedas, though the ones available depend on whether the Inquisition sides with the mages or the templars and whether the player has theJaws of Hakkon DLC. To convince some agents to join the Inquisition, players will need to bring certain party members along or have unlocked some of the Knowledge Perks available at the war table. Which persuasion tactics the player uses will often determine for whom each agent will work. Here's where to find every possible Inquisition agent inDragon Age: Inquisition and how players can recruit them.

How to Recruit All Agents in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Most locations around Thedas only have one or two agents for players to recruit. Other locations, like The Hinterlands, have many. The Inquisitor can also make those enemies they face in the main story quests agents for the Inquisition if they so choose.

Players should note who they may want in their party when they come across various agents. It is also a good idea to pick up the History Knowledge, Underworld Knowledge, Nobility Knowledge, and Arcane Knowledge Inquisition Perks to make sure they can recruit any agents they meet regardless of party composition.

Gereon Alexius

  • After the Inquisition takes a prisoner to Skyhold, the Inquisitor will have the chance to Sit in Judgement. Some of the prisoners can be recruited. If players sided with the mages, they will take Gereon Alexius prisoner at the end of In Hushed Whispers. During judgement, players who have the Arcane Knowledge perk can recruit him to research his time magic for the Inquisition under Secrets.

Speaker Anais

  • Players first meet Speaker Anais in The Hinterlands at the gate to the cult of Andraste in the southwest. Speak to her after completing the Praise the Herald of Andraste quest and tell her to spread word of the Inquisition for Josephine (Connections) or listen and gather information for Leliana (Secrets).

Ser Barris

  • Players meet Ser Barris in Val Royeux during The Threat Remains but will be able to work with him at Therinfal Redoubt. He will be automatically recruited following Champions of the Just, as long as players meet a few specific conditions. Players need to keep him alive during the Holding the Great Hall part of this quest and ally with the Templars rather than conscripting them. He will work for Cullen under Forces.

Belle

  • Players will meet merchant Belle at a stand in Val Royeaux after the Inquisition party speaks to Mother Hevara and her clerics during The Threat Remains. She asks to join the Inquisition as a Connection. If players do not speak to her and go directly to talk to First Enchanter Fiona, Belle will disappear permanently.

Lord Berand

  • Lord Berand can be found with the cult in The Hinterlands in the tavern. Players meet him organically through the Love Waits quest. Players can choose to have him join the Inquisition's Forces, which recruits him for Cullen, or encourage him to go home, which recruits him as a Connection for Josephine.

Blades of Hessarian

  • Players will face the Blades of Hessarian mercenaries in the Storm Coast. Players must make an equip Mercy's Crest at any Requisition Table to enter the Blades of Hessarian camp and challenge their leader. Once he has been defeated, his mercenaries pledge loyalty to the Inquisition under Forces. Failure to equip the crest before confronting and killing the mercenaries at camp will permanently prevent the player from recruiting them.

Clemence the Tranquil

  • Players meet Clemence in The Hinterlands at Redcliffe Village. He can be found inside the Gull and Lantern after speaking to Fiona and Alexius at the start of In Hushed Whispers. After speaking to him, before saying farewell, he will ask to join the Inquisition. Players do not need to choose to side with the mages to recruit him, but they will need to speak to him before completing Champions of the Just. He will be recruited under Forces.

Horsemaster Dennet

  • In The Hinterlands, players need to complete quests for Master Dennet to secure his horses for the Inquisition's forces. After he pledges to send his finest mounts, players need to have Cassandra, Dorian, or Vivienne in their party, or have either the History or Underworld Knowledge Inquisition Perks to convince him to join. He will join under the Inquisition category and tend stables at Haven and Skyhold.

Enchanter Ellendra

  • Players will meet Enchanter Ellendra at The Crossroads in The Hinterlands during the My Lover's Phylactery quest. At first, she will resist joining the Inquisition. The player needs to bring Vivienne in their party or have the Arcane Knowledge Inquisition Perk to convince her to join. She will be recruited under Connections. Players who miss her the first time can return to her cave at The Crossroads to ask again later.

Fairbanks

  • Fairbanks is the contact players meet in The Emerald Graves. There are a series of quests players need to complete first, ending with Victims of War. After this quest is completed, players can speak to Fairbanks to recruit him as a Connection. His Noble Deeds, Noble Heart quest is not required for his recruitment.

Florianne de Chalons

  • After the Inquisition takes a prisoner to Skyhold, the Inquisitor will have the chance to Sit in Judgement. Some of the prisoners can be recruited. Florianne de Chalons from Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts is one such prisoner. If she survives the end of the quest, and players have the Nobility Knowledge Inquisition Perk, she can be recruited as a Connection but won't register under Perks like the others do. If she did not survive and her remains are judged, the Inquisitor must sentence her to community service to make her a Connection agent.

Frederic

  • Players meet Frederic the scholar in The Western Approach as he attempts to study the high dragon there. Players will need to accept and complete his series of quests, culminating in killing the Abyssal High Dragon. After completing this, he will ask to join the Inquisition and be recruited to work for Leliana under Secrets.

Helsdim Rolfsen

  • In the Jaws of Hakkon DLC, in the Frostback Basin, players can recruit the Trader Helsdin after the quest They Came From Somewhere Else. His shop can be found at the Avvar Stone-Bear Hold. Players can ask him to join under Secrets.

Jana

  • Jana is the elf players first meet in Crestwood after the encounter with the Grey Wardens outside the Village of Crestwood. She can be found in a nearby house or, if players speak to Crestwood's mayor first, on the stairs outside the mayor's house. She expresses interest in becoming a Grey Warden. Players need to have Solas in the party or have the Nobility Knowledge Perk to convince her to join the Inquisition instead under Secrets. If players enter the flooded caves during the Still Waters quest, Jana will not be able to join and her fate will be sealed during Here Lies the Abyss.

Loranil

  • At the Dalish camp in The Exalted Plains, players meet a plucky young elf named Loranil who expresses interest in joining the Inquisition. Players will need to complete By the Grace of the Daish and earn enough favor with Keeper Hawen to recruit him. He will work for Cullen under Forces.

Michel de Chevin

  • Players will meet Michel de Chevin outside the village of Sahrnia in Emprise du Lion. They need to complete the Call Me Imshael quest and choose to fight and defeat Imshael. Players need to return to Sahrnia and talk to Michel to recruit him under Forces. If players instead make a deal with Imshael, Michel will be killed.

Movran the Under

  • Players meet Movran the Under following the events of Lost Souls in the Fallow Mire and In Your Heart Shall Burn. During his judgement, the Inquisitor needs to sentence him and his clan to armed exile in Tevinter, making him an agent under Forces. He can also be sent to work for Abernache, if the noble survived the events of Champions of the Just.

Ritts

  • Players will meet a distressed scout in The Hinterlands looking for a missing scout named Ritts. This opens the Strange Bedfellows quest. Players will need to defeat the bandits before Ritts is killed. They will then need to explore the area right around where they rescue Ritts to discover what she was up to and trigger her recruitment. To convince her to join, players need either a dwarven Inquisitor, Varric, or the Underworld Knowledge Perk. She joins under Secrets. If players fail to search the surrounding area, they will not be able to recruit her, and she will disappear permanently.

Servis

  • If the Inquisitor chooses to let Servis live during the events in the Tevinter ruins in The Western Approach, he can be recruited as an Informant under Secrets during his judgement at Skyhold. Players with the Underworld Knowledge Perk can also recruit him as a smuggler, but he will not appear in the list of agents if this option is selected.

Sigrid Guldsdotten

  • In the Jaws of Hakkon DLC, in the Frostback Basin, after players complete the In Exile quest and find Sigrid, they can choose to recruit her as a Connection.

Sky Watcher

  • Players first meet Sky Watcher as they travel around the Fallow Mire. He will be standing and helping at the first Fade Rift. Players need to speak with him here. After completing Lost Souls, as the party exits the Avvar hold, they will meet Sky Watcher again. This time, he can be recruited as a Connection. If players don't speak to him before leaving the Fallow Mire, he will disappear forever.

Storvacker

  • The Inquisition helps rescue Storvacker, the Hold-Beast for Stone-Bear Hold in the Frostback Basin during the Jaws of Hakkon DLC. Players need to complete the quests Storvacker Caged and Hakkon Wintersbreath, then interact with Thane Svarah Sun-Hair at Stone-Bear Hold. She will ask the Inquisitor to judge Storvacker.

They will then need to speak to Corporal Vale and ask to Recruit the skilled. These recruits will go under Forces.
