Havard was Maferath's closest friend. They were children together in the same Avvar clan. They fought side-by-side in so many battles that Maferath dubbed him, "Havard the Aegis", better to have at his side than any shield. Maferath brought Havard with him to meet with the Tevinters; it was unthinkable to stand before his enemies without his Aegis. His wounds healed instantly. And with new strength, Havard gathered up Andraste's remains and carried them safely back to the lands of the Alamarri.== Further information ==
