Ahead of a busy week at San Diego Comic-Con, BioWare has revealed who will be voicing the players’ companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, in addition to some returning actors from past games.
It’s also announced the voices of Rook, the character that the player takes control of. Players will be able to choose from one of four voices, which will be provided by Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2, Dimension 20), Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077, The Amazing World of Gumball), Bryony Corrigan (Baldur’s Gate 3, Good Omens), and Jeff Berg (Battlefield 1, NCIS).
See the full list of the voices of The Veilguard, including BioWare’s character descriptions that have some interesting teases, below:
- Ali Hillis (Mass Effect 3, Naruto), returns to the fray as Harding, the dwarven scout, a Dragon Age: Inquisition hero with a big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow – as well as unexpected magical powers.
- Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Insomniac’s Spider-Man) as Davrin, a bold and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter.
- Jee Young Han (Perry Mason, Unprisoned) as Bellara, a creative and romantic Veil Jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets.
- Jessica Clark (True Blood, Pocket Listing) as Neve, a cynic fighting for a better future, both as a private detective and a member of Tevinter’s rebellious Shadow Dragons.
- Jin Maley (Star Trek: Picard, Silicon Valley) as Taash, a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and doesn’t mind taking risks.
- Nick Boraine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Sails) as Emmrich, a necromancer of Nevarra’s Mourn Watch who comes complete with a skeletal assistant, Manfred, voiced by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Fallout 4).
- Zach Mendez (Horizon Forbidden West, Married Alive) as Lucanis, a poised & pragmatic assassin who descends from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization renowned throughout Thedas.

As previously confirmed, all of the above companions will also serve as romance options for the player.
Additionally, Gareth David-Lloyd will be reprising his role as the voice of Solas, a companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition who will play a key role in The Veilguard, while Brian Bloom will be returning as franchise mainstay Varric. BioWare also teased in its announcement that it has several other characters to introduce, including some familiar faces, but it’s waiting to reveal those “because of, you know – story spoilers.”
BioWare makes its announcement before much of its creative and voice talent heads to San Diego Comic-Con this week. The developer has various plans for the annual convention, including a panel on Friday and dev and voice actor signings.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard hasn’t revealed an official release date yet, but it’s set to debut sometime this fall. In the meantime, check out some of the details we’ve learned so far about its difficulty options, combat, and character creator, as well as our first preview.
