Nevertheless, fearful of having mage children, the two prayed and promised to send one of their sons to the Order if their children were to be born free of magic. And so, after three children and no sign of magic, the 9 year old Wulfram was sent to the Chantry in order to start his training in the Templar Order. Once there the boy took the Chantry's teachings to heart. Quickly becoming a true believer of the ideals espoused by the Order. Wulfram used this belief to fuel his dedication to the training, soon distinguishing himself among his peers. Eventually he earned the rank of Captain and was transferred to Denerim just as the Fereldan Rebellion gained force. Though not directly involved in the conflict, Wulfram still found himself with his hands full as he saw himself and his men having to deal with the stream of bandits and rogue mages that used the conflict to prey upon the people.
