Hessarian, also known as Hessarian the Redeemed, was the Archon of the Tevinter Imperium during the time of Andraste. He is a critical figure in Chantry lore for his role in ordering the prophet's death by fire. He was also the first to convert to the Chant of Light. An Ash Wraith with Hessarian's appearance is encountered in the The Gauntlet as part of the first trial in A Test of Faith, however it is not known if the shade came from Hessarian's immolation as a part of a ritual or not.
