I haven’t played in forever, so let me know if I say anything thatseems out of place/order or doesn’t make sense. >8V;;

I’m not sure where you are in your story, but (if my memory is behaving) Lindrel isn’tencountered until the Inquisitor makes it to Skyhold, so no one at Haven wouldknow about him other than his spirit friend Morial. Morial follows the Heraldaround and acts as a party member. During an early conversation at Skyhold,Morial says he has found his friend and would like the Inquisitor to helprescue him. Doing so gains Lindrel as a follower, refusing loses Morial andLindrel. I don’t know if you’ve read up on Morial (I didn’t make much contentabout him), but he’s a spirit of knowledge that’s very neutral in terms ofopinions other than ‘we need to find Lindrel.’

Lindrel usually uses Bull’sfull name of “The Iron Bull” and eventually starts using “Vhenan” after theystart hanging out more and becoming interested in each other. He starts sprinkling in “Kadan” after thenecklaces. 

Lindrel is initially veryquiet and doesn’t smile much when he is first recruited. He’s been through somecrud. Even so, he doesn’t take anything out on anyone and just dealswith it quietly in his own head. Bull kind of takes this ‘You can chill with myboys and I’ role until he starts thinking Lindrel is actually prettyinteresting. He starts seeing how creative and supportive Lindrel can be whenhe studies and helps people around Skyhold, so then he has some safe positiveshe can focus on and tries to bring Lindrel out of his shell.

Bull may be verbally flirty while he’s getting to know Lindrel(after a little time- he doesn’t immediately lay on the flirting), but he’salso very respectful of his space and doesn’t really try to touch/grab at him or pressure him into anything, especially before they’re figuring out their relationship. Like,he doesn’t want Lindrel to feel cornered. If Lindrel has been recruited but heis still new to the group, Bull would probably not refer to him as a loveinterest yet. When talking about him he would refer to things like hisintelligence, power as a mage, and how he’s also kind of scary. He talks aboutLindrel’s battle skills as an ‘I’m glad he’s on our side, ‘cause it wouldsuck to fight him’ situation.

Bull’s nickname for Lindrelis Ataashi. So if Lindrel has been acquired but he and Bull aren’t a thing,he’s probably just Ataashi to Bull.

Lindrel and Bull do not seriously discuss marriage until basicallythe end of the game. They never get officially married, but they do startwearing the necklaces. By the end of the game, Lindrel’s a punny dad joke sortof guy. Still pretty calm and quiet, but he smiles/smirks more. People think he’s more dorky than scary. 

He snorts when he laughs. This has always been a thing, but he doesn’t laugh much when he is first recruited.
