The survivors are being overrun by Darkspawn, they had no hope of survival until Flemmeth shows up in the form of a dragon and saves them. Aveline's husband has been stricken with the Darkspawn disease known as the Taint; he was killed as an act of mercy. The Hawke family & Aveline eventually arrive in Kirkwall as lowly refugees with nothing but what they carry.
In Kirkwall they are refused entrance their only chance is Gamlen, Marian's uncle. His plan was to sell Marian & Bethany into indentured servitude for one year, Marian at least had a choice, smugglers or mercenaries.
After a year of indentured servitude, Bethany is afraid of being caught by the Templars since she is an apostate. Marian hears of Bartrand a Dwarf who is looking to explore an old and abandoned Dwarven Thaig, Marian hopes to get hired on to the expedition as hirelings to use the money to bribe corrupt Templars, but they are refused. As they leave Varric, Bartrand's brother tells them they are looking for partner to help fund the expedition. Marian saves up enough money and fulfilling a promise to Flemmeth. After fulfilling the promise to Flemeth and adding Merril an Elven mage to her list of companions she encounters Thrask and helps him with several apostates and eventually deals with a band of Qunari criminals. Marian also needed a map of the Deep Roads to help them find the Thaig. They turn to Anders an apostate mage who was once a member of the Grey Wardens serving under Elissa who may have maps they need. After completing a job for him he turns over the maps and joins Marian on her adventures. After acquiring everything they need Marian takes Bethany, Anders, and Varric into Deep Roads. During the expedition they are betrayed by Bartrand. They find another way out of the Deep Roads but Bethany has contracted the Taint, Marian was devastated at the thought of losing her sister. Anders suggests finding Stroud a Grey Warden who could potentially save Bethany's life but it would make her a Grey Warden and she would be forced to leave.
Three years later Marian is wealthy and Qunari are maintaining a very big prescence in the city, there is also a serial killer on the loose. The Qunari's Arishok asks for Marian's help in dealing with an Elven fanatic who has stolen a poisonous gas formula. Shortly after Marian begins an investigation into the serial killer but fails to find him. A Templar by the name of Varnell has taken a Qunari delegation hostage under the orders of the Chantry's Grand Cleric. Marian refuses to side with the hostage takers. Eventually Leandra comes to the attention of the serial killer and Hawke races to save her mother's life but ultimately fails and Leandra dies in Marian's arms. The Chantry's Grand Cleric continues her mission to fuck things up with the Qunari by killing a human willingly converted to their religion and framing Marian, the plot fails and the Grand Cleric is murdered by the Qunari.
The Arishok eventually grows sick of Kirkwall's dysfunction and decides to deal with it himself by attacking the city. During the attack on the city Marian has to fight her way to Viscount's Keep to put a stop to the Arishok's machinations along the way Marian encounters a group of Grey Warden's caught in the middle, Bethany is with them. Once at Viscount's Keep you are forced to decide to turn over Isabella a friend met three years earlier while as a refugee or duel the Arishok for her safety because Isabella stole from the Qunari. Marian is named Champion of Kirkwall for saving the city and driving the Qunari out.
A year later Marian is attacked by a Dwarven gang known as the Carta, they are deranged and looking for her blood so they can free their master one of the very first Darkspawn, Corypheus a Tavinter Magister who broke into the Golden City the seat of the Maker and creators of the Blights that nearly wiped out all life on Thedas. Marian and her friends killed Corypheus.
Two years after the Qunari leave, Marian meets Tallis an Elf who converted to the Qunari's religion. She is looking for something and Marian agrees to help. They eventually kill an Orlesian noble who was working with rogue Qunari. Before they part ways Marian and Tallis kiss intimately, Isabella doesn't care.
Three years after the Qunari leave, Meredith the Knight Commander of the Templars is ruling the city, the tensions between mages and Templars are starting to boil. Due to the tensions and mistreatment of mages several mages escaped. All but three mages were recaptured, Marian is asked to find the last three, one was just a man looking to live a little since being locked up in the circle since he was six the other two turned into murderers and Marian was forced to put them down. When Marian returned to tell Meredieth of the resolution Marian berated her for her heavy handed rule and blamed all the murders on her. Mages are sneaking out sometimes for days at a time, Marian is sent to investigate, her investigation uncovers that mages & Templars are working together to oust Meredith and put a Templar that is less confrontational in charge. The group had kidnapped Bethany to use as leverage against Marian. When Marian confronted the group Thrask tried to contain the situation but was killed by his second Grace an apostate mage who wanted revenge for a fellow apostate Marian killed during her time as a refugee.
The Divine Justinia V sends Sister Nightingale to assess the situaion in Kirkwall and to determine if an Exalted March is needed or not. Marian goes to meet with the Sister and is met with hostility an extremely aggressive rogue mages whose goals are to abolish the Circles. Sister Nightingale arrives in time to slay the reinforcements. Marian recognizes Sister Nightingale as none other than Leliana a Chantry Sister from Lothering. Marian assures Leliana that an Exalted March isn't needed, Leliana departs leaving a warning, war is coming and Kirkwall is no longer safe.
Anders had become a fanatical terrorist, destroys the Chantry. All hell broke loose in the city, Marian was forced to chose between siding with the mages or the Templars and how to handle Anders. Marian wanted to rip his head off and shove it up his ass but his death would have served no one and the Spirit of Justice that Anders corrupted into the Demon of Vengeance may have escaped so she chose to let him live so he would be forced to clean up the mess he created.
Marian's support meant little in the end she was forced to kill Orsino the leader of the mages and Meredith who was driven absolutely mad by the Red Lyrium sword she possessed. Marian's support for the Templar led her to become the Viscount of Kirkwall. The Kirkwall Rebellion was concluded but the Mage-Templar War had only just begun throwing all of Thedas into turmoil for years to come.
Eventually the Templars of Kirkwall started to use Red Lyrium, they grew paranoid Marian was forced to step down as Viscount. She turned to Stroud the man who saved Bethany's life from the Taint to help her investigate.
Marian & Stroud eventually became concerned about the corruption in the Grey Warden ranks, and went into hiding. Varric contacted Marian so she could help Evelyn Trevelyan of The Inquisition deal with Corypheus since Marian had previously fought and killed Corypheus before. Marian introduced Evelyn to Stroud. Together they put an end to Corypheus' plot to take over the Grey Wardens at the cost of Stroud's life. Marian traveled to Weisshaupt to brief the Grey Wardens of what had transpired.
