He was raised by Arl Eamon Guerrin of Redcliffe and due to his upbringing, believed that he is the bastard son of King Maric and his mother was a serving maid who died giving birth to him as well as believing Goldanna was his half-sister. Duncan vowed to watch over Alistair and to bring news to Maric of Alistair’s life. As an elf, a mage and a Grey Warden, Fiona is unable to raise Alistair and asks Maric to see him raised away from court and ignorant of his elf-blooded heritage. As an infant, he was presented to his father King Maric by his mother, the elven Grey Warden mage Fiona. ' I want him to be fully human and not in line for your throne, not competing with your other son and tied to this royal blood that has brought you nothing but grief.' ― Fiona to King Maric Theirin, about their sonĪlistair was born in 26 Wintermarch 9:10 Dragon, possibly in Redcliffe Village or nearby. Few Wardens have ever left the secretive Order, and he is the only of those who went on to rule a nation. When his paternal lineage was revealed at the Landsmeet, he was legitimized and assumed the throne upon the defeat of the Archdemon Urthemiel.ĭespite his rule as Ferelden's king, Alistair is still considered a hero among his countrymen for having fought against the darkspawn.

Although he was the more experienced Grey Warden, Alistair willingly gave leadership to Aedan. Throughout the course of the Blight, Alistair became good friends with Aedan Cousland. Six months prior to the Fifth Blight, he was trained as a templar in the Chantry but was conscripted into the Grey Wardens by Warden-Commander Duncan before he took his final vows. In time, when he was old enough, Eamon told Alistair of his father’s identity. Upon his birth, his mother Fiona, an elven Grey Warden mage, convinced King Maric to have Arl Eamon Guerrin raise Alistair away from the royal court and tell him his mother was a human servant maid, and Duncan agreed to keep watch over him. King Alistair I Theirin (born 9:10 Dragon) is the legitimized bastard son of King Maric I Theirin by his elven lover Fiona. To deliver unpleasant news and witty one-liners.' ―Alistair
