It then leads Bregan through the Deep Roads and offers him a chance to escape. It explains its plans to use the Grey Wardens in a way to bring lasting peace between the darkspawn and the other races of Thedas. It further explains that the taint is rapidly spreading through his body, and will eventually turn him into a darkspawn-like hybrid. The Architect later awakens Bregan back in his cell. However, Bregan soon attempts an escape, only to be re-captured shortly after. It begins to explain the situation to Bregan, and attempts to persuade him away from his suicidal path. The Architect encounters Bregan after the darkspawn capture and take him to a prison cell in Kul-Baras. It gained Bregan's and Genevieve's assistance in its plans by promising to to locate and kill the Old Gods before they would be turned into archdemons, thus ending all future Blights forever. It worked together with Bregan as well as First Enchanter Remille and his mages to spread the taint through enchantments in the major human cities. It believed to have found that solution in the Grey Wardens, being slowly corrupted by the taint they take in during their Joining, and resolved to spread the Blight over all of Thedas, regardless of the extraordinary death toll in those who would not survive the process. Its first plan was to find a middle ground between the darkspawn and the population of Thedas. Its ultimate goal is to bring peace between the darkspawn and the other races of Thedas at any cost. While it was able to keep the other darkspawn from pursuing a group of Wardens, its control falters once their blood lust comes to a certain point. Its control over other darkspawn is tenuous.

Because of this, its darkspawn brethren look at it with fear, and therefore obey its commands - to some extent. The Architect is vastly different from his darkspawn brethren: it is able to think independently of the darkspawn group-mind, and, as such, is able to resist the calling of the Old Gods. Unlike Corypheus, who was imprisoned and retained his memory of his prior life, the Architect seems to have forgotten his mortal life, knowing only that he is a unique darkspawn. ДЄll seven magisters who reached the Golden City were tainted and cast back to Thedas as the first of the darkspawn. Like Sethius, who was now referring to himself as 'The Conductor of Silence', Urthemiel's High Priest took an alias to hide his identity in the endeavour, choosing 'Architect of the Works of Beauty'. Persuaded of the rightness of Sethius' cause, the High Priest of Urthemiel joined his plan to reach the Golden City. He was the first Magister to be approached by Sethius Amladaris, the High Priest of Dumat, to join in his endeavour to reach the Golden City.ДЄfter being spoken to by Sethius, the High Priest of Urthemiel gathered all the acolytes and priests of Urthemiel at the Temple to seek counsel from the Dragon of Beauty, who gave the same command as the Dragon of Silence: 'Open the Gates'. The Architect was the High Priest of Urthemiel and the leader of the Builders 'who constructed monuments to the glory of the gods' according to the Great Plan. With no evidence contradicting otherwise, it was henceforth assumed as truth. In an unsigned Grey Warden Report, the Architect is theorized to be one of the Magisters Sidereal, those Magisters who physically entered the Golden City in -395 Ancient.
