- Aedan Cousland was not at Castle Cousland during Howe's attack. He was in Denerim.
- Aedan is the twin brother to Haelia Cousland.
- Can Marry Anora (if she is queen alone, so this completely optional) and will become king, actual king. None of this consort business. Thanks to an old Orlesian law still on Ferelden's books. Called jure uxoris (which is a Real Thing).
- Otherwise he is more political savvy and lets Haelia handle the swordplay.
- Prefers archery if he has to fight.
