This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age II.


Bancroft assists apostate mages fleeing the Gallows and Knight-Commander Meredith. Later, he learns of a tragedy: templars have slain several mage sympathizers, including Franke the Cobbler as well as Thom Beshcal and his wife. In response, Bancroft discreetly offers refuge to two mages, cautioning against bringing anyone ill to avoid attracting attention, as an ill-timed sneeze almost resulted in their capture. However, the situation escalates as Meredith instructs Ser Mettin and Ser Agatha to locate the mage hideout. Bancroft alerts the mages, advising distrust towards raiders offering passage and warning of the templars' intensified search under Meredith's command.

Upon discovering Bancroft's location, Ser Mettin plans an assault on Sundermount. Hawke, assisted by Ser Mettin and Ser Agatha, approaches the Blood Mage Refuge. Determined to resist, Bancroft starts battle, using his full powers. Determined to avoid capture, he tells the other blood mages to eliminate everyone, with a particular focus on Hawke, who is just another templar oppressor to him. Bancroft is killed in the assault.
