da estel is basically leliana’s second in command, he works directly with her and closely with josephine as well but has no desire to advise the inquisition on a larger scale until he is eventually drawn into the inevitability of taking on a deeper role after the involvement of the grey wardens. but because his work is so sensitive and he works primarily in disguise / as a spy, he is extremely incognito around skyhold, to the point where he often poses as a common soldier with great success, and keeps apart from most everyone in the organization (particularly visitors unless he is engaging actively in an assigned role) with the exception of a few companions who close enough in the circle to be constantly privy to the inquisitor’s / leliana’s / josephine’s plans.
