Blackwall and Solas have more in common that you might see at first glance. Both are lonely, guilty men who ran from their respective pasts and come to face the music. Each has constructed a façade behind which he hides and each finds through their time with the Inquisition that the time has come to tear it down.
We never get a chance to ask Solas how old he is. BioWare also leaves the reveal that the village he claimed to have grown up in had been in ruins for centuries until after he’s run off at the end of the game.
Our Inquisitor never gets the opportunity to confront him about his history. When you consider how much traveling he says he’s done, how much distance he’d have to cover, and the fact that he doesn’t have his own freaking horse at the very least you have to question how he’s managed to stay so smooth-faced.
