Dalish Captains are NPC's spawning in Dalish fortresses from which you can hire Dalish units. They're easily recognizable by their missing helms and the silver coin they hold in their left hand.
Upon hiring a unit from a Dalish Captain, the player earns the achievement "Dalishmen at Arms"
Behaviour[]
As with most trading NPC's, Dalish Captains stick to themselves most of the time, unless they're attacked, in which case they will defend themselves using their Dalish sword. If a Dalish Captain has been hurt, he will quickly heal himself once he's no longer in combat.

At an alignment level of +100 with Dale, you can talk to the captain and he will show you a screen that allows you to hire units. The prices and alignment requirements are as follows:
