Sandal

Sandal could fold lyrium into anything you wanted. He was special like that. However, that was not the only way in which he was special. He was lyrium addled. Being abandoned in the Deep Roads left him with the ability to "enchant" as he put it. Something that only the greatest Dwarven smiths and Tranquil could do.

Sandal was found by the Dwarven merchant, Bodahn Feddic. He was then adopted as his assistant and looks up to Bodahn as a father. They ventured to the surface and started a business selling items and enchanting other items.

Bodahn taught Sandal as well as he could despite the fact he was a savant, and would never be able to live on his own. They traveled everywhere, despite having a house in Denerim, that Sandal has burnt down twice on accident, where Bodahn's wife lives. Bodahn feared that he'd never have kids and Sandal was practically already part of the family, so he was already like the child Bodahn wanted.

In the year 9:30 Dragon, Sandal and Bodahn were outside of Lothering and it was there that he'd meet two of the most important people in his life, and quite possibly, the rest of Thedas.
