While playing through this game you will encounter agents that you can recruit into the Inquisition. Each agent is assigned to one of your advisors and can offer gains to your advisors, such as reducing the time it takes for them to complete missions on the war table.
Most agents can be found in the various locations that you visit throughout Thedas and Orlais, but a few can be recruited when you pass judgement on them in Skyhold.
There are 21 agents to be found in the game and I have listed them below, showing where to find them and how to recruit them. Unfortunately it is impossible to recruit all of them. For example, if you side with the mages then you can’t recruit Barris and if you side with the templars you can’t recruit Gereon Alexius.
Derlin Barris
Location: Therinfal Redoubt
You will only encounter Barris if you decide to side with the Templars during “Champtions of the Just”. When you get to Therinfal Redoubt you will fight your way through and eventually meet Barris. He will lead you to the Great Hall where you will encounter a magical barrier. If Barris survives this he will automatically be recruited.

Defeat him and the Blades will follow you and join the inquisition.
