The star-studded cast of companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been revealed, with more than a few familiar voices in the crowd.

BioWare's next installment in the fantasy RPG features seven companions for you to balance your friendship between as you decide who gets to join you in your adventures – on and, ahem, off the battlefield.

Your heroic cast of friends and very close friends includes veterans Matthew Mercer and Zach Mendez, as well as young bloods in the gaming VO world and actors from elsewhere in screen media.

The player character, Rook, also has four voice options depending on player selection of British or American accents, including Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), Jeff Berg (Battlefield 1, NCIS), Bryony Corrigan (Baldur’s Gate 3, Good Omens) and Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077, The Amazing World of Gumball).

Dragon Age: The Veilguard companion cast

EA shared the cast list for your companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, as well as some of the places you may recognize their voices from:

  • Ali Hillis (Mass Effect 3, Naruto) returns to the fray as Harding, the dwarven scout, a Dragon Age: Inquisition hero with a big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow – as well as unexpected magical powers.
  • Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Insomniac's Spider-Man) as Davrin, a bold and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter.
  • Jee Young Han (Perry Mason, Unprisoned) as Bellara, a creative and romantic Veil Jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets.
  • Jessica Clark (True Blood, Pocket Listing) as Neve, a cynic fighting for a better future, both as a private detective and a member of Tevinter's rebellious Shadow Dragons.
  • Jin Maley (Star Trek: Picard, Silicon Valley) as Taash, a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and doesn't mind taking risks.
  • Nick Boraine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Sails) as Emmrich, a necromancer of Nevarra's Mourn Watch who comes complete with a skeletal assistant, Manfred, voiced by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Fallout 4).
  • Zach Mendez (Horizon Forbidden West, Married Alive) as Lucanis, a poised & pragmatic assassin who descends from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization renowned throughout Thedas.

“Each companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard brings a unique personality and backstory, with some of the most compelling individual storylines in franchise history,” said Ashley Barlow, Creative Performance Director at BioWare. “The talent contributing to this next game in the series is tremendous – translating stellar writing from the BioWare team into performances fans will find worthy of the drama, fantasy and romance they come to expect from Dragon Age.”

We look forward to picking our way through the tangled web of interpersonal party dynamics when Dragon Age: The Veilguard launches this fall on PS5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
