Dragon Age 2 - New Character - Fenris

There's an update at the Dragon Age 2 site that introduces Fenris, who almost looks a little jRPG-inspired to me.  The blurb:

Once slave to a Tevinter magister, Fenris was altered: lyrium was burned into his flesh, its magic both stripping his memory as well as changing him forever. He became a living weapon, and eventually used his power to escape his chains. Now he finds himself in a strange land with no friends—and a former master that refuses to let him be.
