So I was reading Connor’s wiki and found this

[He was named after his grandfather’s lover, a man whom his father, Eamon, came to known as father.]

Whaaat?? After who??

[Rendorn Guerrin

“There are things we must do, things that must be done, to survive. Queen Moira did them and so shall her son.”

Rendorn Guerrin is the Arl of Redcliffe during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden. He is one of the leading figures of the Fereldan Rebellion which rose up against King Meghren and the Orlesian rule.

He has three children: Rowan, Eamon and Teagan, is married to Arlessa Marina, and has a lover named Connor.[1][2]]

[A coronation for the Rebel Queen was held at Redcliffe.[4] Rendorn, along with his lover Connor,[1][2], then went forth from Redcliffe to join the rebellion, and the Arl became one of the queen’s generals. After Moira was slain by traitors, Arl Rendorn took command of the rebellion. He was killed during the disastrous battle at West Hill, along with most of the rebel army, including Connor, at 8:99 Blessed.

TriviaRendorn is erroneously referred to as Connor in the codex entry for Fort Connor in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Instead of fixing the issue, Patrick Weekes decided to write a lover named Connor into Rendorn and Marina’s relationship.]

Why no one told me about this?? This is gold! Btw, here are sources from wiki 1 and 2 (sadly without links, because tumblr hides this post other way)

[Patrick Weekes on Twitter: So I got Arl Eamon’s father’s name wrong in a codex. Old name already existed. We’ve decided Arl Eamon had two dads.]

[Codex entry: Fort Connor

Fort Connor was constructed by a young Arl Eamon after the Orlesians were driven from Ferelden. It was named in honor of Eamon’s father, who died at the battle of West Hill—and after whom the arl named his son.

Eamon was determined for Redcliffe to stand as shining example of Fereldan strength. He constructed Fort Connor to watch the King’s Highway and protect the Hinterlands against all enemies. It proved its fortitude against darkspawn during the Fifth Blight, suffering damage only when the darkspawn deployed emissaries. Eamon said proudly at the time that Fort Connor was “unbreakable by anything short of magic, and for that, thank the Maker we have templars.”
