Dragon Age: What Happened To Maric?

"Maric Theirin is an important Dragon Age character who has actually never appeared in the games, and is mostly known about thanks to the books. However, he is mentioned in the games, as he was the King of Ferelden before his son Cailan. He is also the father of Alistair, and the man who helped free Ferelden from its Orlesian occupation with Loghain. What surprised many fans is that Maric has never been confirmed as dead, he has only been "missing" since 9:25 Dragon." - click image for article
