He doesn't see her as a mage, which is an issue unto itself, especially combined with the cover it gives him.
[He takes a breath as well.]
Harriman's actions are what they always are in regard to a mage; Darton bore a responsibility that he did not fulfill. Just as Harriman has never bothered to stop abusing mages, because he doesn't have to. No one will take any sort of action that matters, like stripping him of Templar status.
[Abusers protect other abusers. It's how they make sure they stay in power, after all.]
And apparently this isn't the first time Darton has failed his duties. He was one of the Seekers who came to Kirkwall and turned a blind eye, by his own admission. But there's nothing I can do. I can talk at him, attempt to get him to understand there are people involved in the equation, but he doesn't hear what I say. No Seeker ever has.
