So after Morrigan joins me, the village chief sends his son with me out of gratitude. The kid is a regular, non companion troop, meaning I can't change his gear. He's a beast skill wise, but he's more expensive than most nobles, has the horse archer AI with its love of melee, and wears what looks like a plain tunic, so I suspect he's not long for the world if I use him in battle. Does he play a role in the rest of the quest events? Do I need to keep him in garrison to keep him alive? If so, when do I need to bring him out for events to trigger?
