History
The Venatori were an armed cult of mages from the Tevinter Imperium that existed in the lands of Thedas.
A group of Venatori led by Magister Gereon Alexius travelled south in the hopes of seizing control of the rebellious southern Mages by offering them Tevinter citizenship, thus allowing them to escape their Templar pursuers. However, in the wake of the Breach into the Fade at the Temple of Sacred Ashes which destroyed the Divine's conclave, Grand Enchanter Fiona offers an alliance with the newly reformed Inquisition. Realizing the southern Rebel Mages are on the brink of joining forces with the Inquisition and slipping beyond the Venatori's grasp, Alexius uses time warping magic to go back in time and arrive in Redcliffe Village during a supposedly imminent templar attack. Alexius persuades the rebel mages that fleeing to Tevinter is their only hope of survival and offers them his protection in exchange for their indentured servitude. When the rebel mages agree to his terms, Alexius takes things further by seizing control of Redcliffe Castle and driving out Arl Teagan Guerrin. When the Herald of Andraste and a party of Inquisition operatives arrive to speak with the mages, Alexius announces that the mages have already agreed to become his indentured servants, in exchange for eventual Tevinter citizenship. Alexius invites the Inquisitor to Redcliffe Castle to 'negotiate'; intending to ambush the Herald for his master. However, his son Felix Alexius, and his apprentice Dorian Pavus, reveal his plot to the Inquisition.
Overview
In appearance, the Venatori were an armed cult that sprung up amongst the Tevinter.
It was said that the Venatori did not represent the views of the Tevinter Imperium. In fact, the Imperium would disavow any suggestion of involvement with these 'dangerous cultists'. However, many Tevinter magisters were said to privately agree with the actions of the Venatori.
A central figure among the cult was a figure they called the Elder One who was said to be a mystical Tevinter figure.
