Shaper Valta ( Inquisition's The Descent DLC) - A temporary companion on A Tier may seem strange, but Shaper Valta has a ton of room for growth. It strings together so many conflicts based on the Elves and the Fade that Solas is a shoe-in for A Tier, but whether or not Solas can be redeemed or just killed remains to be seen. However, the Trespasser DLC makes it clear that fans are going to have hearts broken breaking eggs when Dragon Age 4 rolls around, so this ephemeral antagonist idea works.
Solas (DA Inquisition) - Continuing the motif that it is the "Mage all players should watch for betrayal," Solas is perhaps mid-to-high tier in each department. His decisions here kick off one of the major plotlines in Inquisition, and his growth from an ally of Justice in Awakening to an abomination, accepting and perhaps unrepentant of his actions is an astounding amount of development, even if he's Hawke's LI. First, he is absolutely vital to the story of Dragon Age 2 and becomes a sort of conduit for player thought and belief on the Mage-Templar Conflict. Anders ( DA: Awakening, 2) - Anders make A Tier, which is likely a controversial choice admittedly but done so for a couple of reasons.
