Just gotta stop in and talk about The Iron Bull for a sec. Again.

This time, I’d like to focus on how his whole storyline is basically that of someone either being freed from or doubling down on a cult-like religion. Because that’s what the Qun is. Anything that puts certain people on leashes and has “re-educators” that are meant to “fix” people who start thinking differently is a freaking cult!

Bull is shown to be on the fence when it comes to a lot of things. While he insists on being true Qunari and a follower of the Qun, he also shows discomfort when the Qunari offers the alliance with the Inquisition. He flat out says that he’s grown used to them being “over there.” He even acknowledges that the Qun isn’t the right way for everyone.

If you let the Chargers die, he says that the Qun demanded the sacrifice, but you can see cracks in his armor and how much he hates making that decision both during the battle and after Gatt and the Inquisitor secure the alliance at Skyhold. As a result, he doubles down on his devotion to the Qun. The Iron Bull becomes just a role he plays. He becomes Hissrad. How else can he deal with the guilt of leading the people who had become his family to their deaths? He has to believe that it was necessary, and to do that, he has to believe in the Qun unquestioningly.

If Cole is in the party during his betrayal in Trespasser, he comments on how Bull didn’t feel anything when he betrays the party. I’d bet anything that between the end of Inquisition and the beginning of Trespasser, he submitted willingly to the re-educators, masking his emotions and eliminating what was left of The Iron Bull.

On the other hand, if you order the retreat, he doesn’t hesitate to blow that horn. He smiles when he sees his men are safe. When you correct Gatt and say that his name is Iron Bull and not Hissrad, Bull approves. If you say that there’s still something to do to salvage the alliance, he disapproves. Once he’s Tal-Vashoth, he commits almost immediately and acts as if a weight has been lifted.

He smiles while sparring with Krem. He tells you that, whatever he regrets, he’s where he wants to be. Most of his inner conflict comes with the realization that much of what he believed was wrong, that being Tal-Vashoth doesn’t make one a monster. So, what does that make him, someone who has killed many Tal-Vashoth over the years?

No matter what playthrough I do, I will always save the Chargers, both because I love them, and because it’s the best thing for The Iron Bull. One choice allows him to move forward and become his own person. The other forces him to regress into what he once was as a way to avoid his guilt.

Iron Bull - Hissrad

Transcript:

Inquisitor: Iron Bull's name is Hissrad?

Gatt: Under the Qun, we use titles, not names.

Iron Bull: My title was "Hissrad", because I was assigned to secret work. You can translate it as "Keeper of Illusions", or...

Gatt: "Liar". It means liar.

Iron Bull: Well you don't have to put it like that.

Thoughts on Gatt's mission debrief to the Ben-Hassrath in Seheron. From World of Thedas, vol 2, page 241.

This will be long, so under the cut:

GATT ON HISSRAD

His state of mind? Am I supposed to say that he wasn't angry? Is that what I'm supposed to say so the reeducators can fill him full of qamek and send him off to break rocks with a hammer for the rest of his life? Because he was angry. Of course he was angry, after what the Tal-Vashoth did to those children. He's always been angry.

I remember the day he raided my master's ship and rescued me from that bastard. He butchered them all, and he wasn't calm as he did it. I'd have been terrified if he was. No, he fought with a righteous fury. He was every ounce of anger I'd been pushing down in my fear. He was rage, and I would have had it no other way.

He was angry when I finished my education and joined his team in Seheron. He'd smile when he greeted the locals, and he'd banter about the food at breakfast, but underneath it all, there was always the anger. How could he be anything else, after watching his friends die from poison or a knife in the back? Did you know his last commander became Tal-Vashoth? Of course you do. You've got records on everything, including the attitude I'm displaying right now that will doubtless come up as an area for improvement. Your people will tell me, and I'll sigh, and I'll take it, because I've seen the world outside the Qun, and while I might bang against the walls of this life, I'd rather be here than anywhere else.

So would Hissrad. The difference between him and me is that he's never known anything else. He grew up in this orderly world you all made, and it all makes sense to him, people make sense, and he thinks that if he does the right thing, then everything will work. He's been in Seheron for ten years trying to make everything work, telling himself that he's the tool you made him to be, doing the job he was meant to do. He hunted down and killed his old commander. He killed civilians working for the rebels. There are times I'm grateful for those Tevinter mages coming in to attack. At least Hissrad doesn't have to argue with himself after he kills them.

Now he killed the Tal-Vashoth who killed those children, and he broke himself doing it. He thinks it's his fault, that he failed to live up to the demands of the Qun. But we all know that isn't really true, is it? Seheron was a mess. We and Tevinter made certain of that. We grind ourselves down until we end up dead or turning Tal-Vashoth, and Hissrad would rather die than do that.

He's a good man. He believes in you. You owe him better than what you've done to him.

-Post-mission deposition from team member Gatt on mental state of his commander, Hissrad

1. Bull's former commander went Tal-Vashoth?! I don't recall ever hearing that in the game. That's so freaking personal. It would've felt like a slap in the face. And Bull hunted him down and killed him for it.

2. Gatt repeating how angry Bull was when he met him. How he's ALWAYS been angry, as long as Gatt knew him. Gatt acts like this is the most natural reaction in the world for what he knows Bull's life in the last decade to have been. Yet the Bull we see in DAI is so laid back that this came as a surprise to me. We see the Bull that smiles and banters. But we meet Bull years post-Seheron and post-reeducation. Was it re-education that actually helped him (or at least redirected the underlying rage), or was it being finally free of Seheron, or that he had found a happier life being farther from the Qun with his Chargers? Or some combination of all three?

3. Gatt being angry on Bull's behalf. He's so loyal, so defensive and protective of his commander, at what Bull's leadership has forced him to put up with all these years, and at the thought that they would lobotomize him when Bull finally, predictably, broke under the strain of it all. When we meet Gatt in Demands of the Qun (nice callback to the mission there) he's angry that Bull would turn his back on the Qun after all Gatt had done to defend him, probably putting his neck out for him to Ben-Hassrath leadership. Bull's repeating the pattern of his former commander that he killed and it must rankle so bad

4. Being grateful when their enemy is Tevinter magisters because at least Bull doesn't have to argue against himself after killing them. That's a clear evil to them, and it's easier to kill that which you know is evil. But Bull is constantly at war with himself in Seheron, because maybe not everyone he'd had to kill deserved killing. He's been forced to be black and white in a world of gray, he's torn between what he's told is right and what he feels innately to be right. The warning signs of his PTSD were all there, but Bull kept pushing past them in order to be the best tool for the Qun he could be (and his commanders ignored it - even though part their job is to pull agents with soul sickness to reassign them and it's SO WORRYINGLY COMMON on Seheron, yet they kept him there because he got Results)

5. Bull helped save Gatt from a Tevinter slave ship. If this was mentioned in the game, I missed it. But it makes so much sense for how we know Bull's instinct is to protect the little guy, those in need of help, especially from Tevinters (see: Krem)

6. Gatt is so offended by the assumption that they would throw Bull away for being the most dedicated and perfect weapon he could be for as long as he could be, just because he couldn't take the trauma of Seheron for a minute longer. When it's stated that 3 years is the max Qunari could be stationed on Seheron without dying or burning out and Bull had been there for 10

7. "The difference between him and me is he's never known anything else." Bull BELIEVES in the Qun with his whole heart. It's neat and orderly, it makes sense, it Works. He has his role and he is Good At It. He likes things when they're clean cut and simple like that. No thinking needs to be involved. If he does his job right, things will work out. If he's just a good enough tool, if he just follows the rules. And anything that doesn't make sense, anything that doesn't work? It must be Bull's fault for not being Good Enough.

8. "Hissrad would rather die than become Tal-Vashoth." Maybe back then he would, because he saw no other option. No other escape. The only Tal-Vashoth he knew were monsters and he wouldn't ever let himself become one. But by the time we meet him, he's seen a glimpse of the life he could lead outside the Qun - of Tal-Vasoth who were just living peaceful lives in freedom

9. "You owe him better than what you've done to him. "The fact that Bull himself has never been able to face this truth about how the Qun used him up and threw him away, but Gatt didn't give a shit and stood up for his commander. Just... ow.

The United States, since the end of the Cold War in 1989, began an approach meant and integration of the Chinese economy into the international financial markets and global trade in hopes that the growth of the Chinese economy would lead to economic and, most importantly, democratic reforms. This, unfortunately, is proving to be a colossal strategic mistake because rather than becoming a beacon…

The crossover no one asked for is here!

In this comic Guts has been iskai’d into the world of BG.

Given his last experience with *sacrifices* and being a sacrifice himself, I imagine that when Wyll first tells him about his pact, Guts would likely assume that Wyll sacrificed someone other than himself to get his powers.

In short, Guts "disapproves" of Wyll. (AKA he wants to end Wyll and Mizora, except he hasn't because his brand ain't bleeding.)

(If you have not read Berserk I highly recommend it. In fact the new evil ending for BG3 is a reference to Berserk!)

Gatt - Joining the Qun

Transcript:

Inquisitor: And you decided to start following the Qun after that?

Gatt: What do you think? I had just watched a giant, horned Warrior kill the magister who hurt me.

Inquisitor: He [Iron Bull] never told me about this.

Gatt: One of the few things he hasn't shared with you, I gather. Sure, Bull. Share the secrets of the Ben-Hassrath reports, but keep that bit where you saved the elf boy to yourself.
