Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Protagonist Will Have 4 Voice Actors
As for Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Rook, BioWare has revealed that the game's protagonist will have four voice actors in total. Bryony Corrigan (Baldur's Gate 3, The Goes Wrong Show) and Erika Ishii (Destiny 2, Apex Legends) will be the options for Rook's female voices, whereas Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon's Dogma 3) and Jeff Berg (Persona 3 Reload, Battlefield 1, NCIS) will provide the character's male voices.

Aside from the aforementioned return of Ali Hillis of Mass Effect 3 and Naruto fame, the game's cast also includes Ike Amadi (Halo 5: Guardians, Mass Effect 3), who will play a monster-hunting Grey Warden called Davrin. Veil Jumper Bellara will be portrayed by Jee Young Han (Perry Mason, Anthem, Unprisoned), whereas Jessica Clark (True Blood, The Doll Maker) will lend her voice to Shadow Dragons member Neve.
