"Don't know what a Warden is," Theron begins on a laugh, but— "Oh. Creators, you're serious."
That's terrible. And not a little terrifying, come to mention it. Though, true, he doesn't know exactly what a Tiefling is, in turn, but it's clear enough that whatever it is, this ruddy-faced gentleman is one. Ergo, that's what a tiefling is. As well as a Hellrider, or whatever else he'd like to call himself.
Such as, for example, Zevlor. Not even Mahariel's first Zev, and he decides to count it as a good omen. Few enough of those to not be miserly about them, after all.
"A Grey Warden uh... we're a kind of knightly order?" He ends the sentence on a grimace to go with the uncertain tone, "Only not so much with the actual knights. The Wardens will accept anyone who wants to join— or try to Join, anyways. We fight Darkspawn, and end Blights, and only a Warden can kill an Archdemon, which I incidentally have done, so... That's was a Warden is. I'm assuming a Tiefling is what you are, then?"

And then, a bit belatedly, he adds:
"...I'm an elf!"
Just in case you didn't know.
