Venatori Mages (Venatori General's Bodyguard) image - Dragon Age: Total War mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

With the Mage-Templar war raging throughout southern Thedas, many groups of rebel mages and apostates have turned to desperate measures in order to escape what seems to be certain death at the hands of the Templars. Playing on their fear and despair, agents of the Venatori have succeeded in recruiting many of the rebel mages, corrupting them to Elder One's cause with promises of freedom, protection, power, and victory. Apprenticed to a rogue Magister and bolstered by Laetans from Tevinter, these mages have become all the more fearsome, learning from the Tevinters the forbidden arts of demonology and blood magic and being encouraged to utilize their dark powers on the battlefield. Too far gone to ever return to the Chantry or their Circles, these mages will do whatever it takes to protect their master and crush the enemies of Corypheus.
