Look at a trailer of the upcoming DA expansion.
There's also info about a new companion.

Although most mages are brought into the Circle at a young age, Anders was an adolescent by the time the templars found him: he had an understanding of the outside world and knew full well what he was missing. To him, the walls of the Circle Tower were nothing more than a prison. A born troublemaker, Anders repeatedly broke out of the tower, displaying great ingenuity. But for all his resourcefulness and talent, he could never quite elude the templars. It's a lucky thing that Anders despises blood mages as much as the Chantry does, else he might have been executed as a suspected maleficarum long ago. In truth, all he wants is freedom--well, freedom, a good meal, and a pretty girl on his arm.

Finally a circle Mage who isn't a doormat to the Templars.
To be honest if I were Mage in DA and the Templars would dare to look in my direction the wrong way, I'd kill them on sight. What would you do?
