The only person who doesn't seem affected by the revelation is Vivienne, as she never held Blackwall in very high regard to begin with, though she does admit she is impressed by how well Blackwall maintained the masquerade, to the point that even she was fooled. Iron Bull, Dorian and Solas ease up a little Cullen will eventually forgive him in the Trespasser DLC and Cassandra eventually seems to warm up a little through some banter, or at least becomes less hostile to him. The only people to respect and like him still are Varric, Sera and Cole (who always knew Blackwall's secret and therefore wasn't surprised or bothered). The biggest example is Cassandra, who goes from seeing Blackwall as an ally and friend to practically regarding him as an enemy, and only working with him because he may still be in the Inquisition. When it turns out he's not the real Blackwall, most of the party vehemently dislike him. Receiving: The party, for the most part, all respect Blackwall and see him as a good man and a fine example of a Warden.Given that he respects them because he isn't actually one, it makes sense why he does. Giving on: During the Warden questline, he's shocked to see the actions his fellow Grey Wardens would do when hearing the Fake Calling and ultimately is nearly shattered completely by the end.Broken Pedestal: He's on both ends of this trope.Blackwall will acknowledge the similarity himself. Birds of a Feather: If a female Dwarven Inquisitor romances him, since both of them are ex-criminals trying to make a new life.Furthermore, if the Inquisitor romances him, they will have proof that he became Warden-Constable (second most important Warden in a whole country), which is the same title as the real Blackwall. In the Trespasser epilogue, it is stated that between his duties as a Grey Warden, he will continue to do what he did while disguised as Blackwall despite having no reason to continue acting this way. Becoming the Mask: If taken to the Grey Wardens after the battle against Corypheus, he will survive the Joining and become a true Grey Warden.If you're curious, he looks like this ◊ when the beard's removed with mods. Beardness Protection Program: He grew the beard to keep others from realizing that he wasn't really Blackwall, as well as to help distance himself from his old identity of Thom Rainier.Cassandra might have also fit before The Reveal. Bash Brothers: He best fits this with Iron Bull.He also feels unworthy over the fact the real Blackwall died saving him from a darkspawn ambush. The Atoner: He pretends to be Warden Blackwall to atone for accepting a bribe, ordering his troops to slaughter an Orlesian general and his family, and deserting his post, allowing his subordinates to be punished in his stead.The Inquisitor can say that they appreciate the honesty, but Blackwall will admonish himself for thinking something so foolish.

When the Inquisitor first speak to him at Haven, Blackwall will tell them, if they are non-human, that he expected them to be one. Averted in Trespasser, when both he and the UI use Thom Rainier to refer to him.

Artifact Alias: Blackwall will continue to go by the dead Warden's name instead of his own, even if the Inquisitor tells him to live under his real name - Thom Rainier.

It's unknown if Thom Rainier even knew Gordon's first name.

All There in the Manual: Blackwall's first name, Gordon, is only given in World of Thedas Vol.

Affectionate Nickname: If romanced, he'll call the Inquisitor 'my lady'.

He is a romance option for a female Inquisitor of any race. Warden-Constable Blackwall is a Grey Warden who was once stationed in Val Chevin, and elects to join the Inquisition.
