Male Human Mage (Knight Enchanter)

To follow. Will edit this post when I finish drawing it. For now...
Physical Description:
This tall young man has a fair complexion; amber-colored eyes; and dark hair. His athletic frame is clad in fine, elaborate clothing. He carries the air of dignity, and moves with an elegant grace, all typical of Orlesian nobility. His face has soft features, giving him a rather feminine beauty, although his stance and physique is decidedly masculine. In his hand is a finely-crafted walking stick that is made of a black metal.
History:
Arken is the son of the Grey-Warden Mage, Bethany Hawke, with a powerful warrior whose identity she had never disclosed. He was left in the care of Enchanter Vivienne of Orlais when the Grey Wardens began to hear Corypheus' false Call. When he began to exhibit magical abilities, she took him as her apprentice, and so he was taken along when Enchanter Vivienne moved to Skyhold to join the Inquisition. There, Arken completed his training, becoming a full-fledged Knight Enchanter, weaving together swordplay and the arcane. More importantly, there he had met and had grown up alongside the Inquisitor and Iron Bull's only child. Now, as that child has grown to assume the leadership of the Inquisition, he stands at the ready to continue the work that his mentor and his mother had begun.
Personality:
Having grown up in the company of Grand Enchanter Vivienne, Arken has come to be a connoisseur of fashion and beauty, always wearing fine clothes and accessories.
He has also imbibed Vivienne's acumen in politics and decision-making, always focusing on goals and not getting bogged down or trapped into a single course of action.
He is slow to trust, but fiercely loyal to those who have earned his trust and friendship.
Notes:
His arcane device is an obsidian rod that is cleverly housed within the top part of his walking stick. This rod is shaped like a sword hilt, and is also used to channel and produce his Spirit Blade.
