Background

After completing the quest Isabela’s Regret, when you enter your estate in Hightown, you’ll find Isabela there, and she’ll give you this quest.

Walkthrough

Isabela will tell you that her nemesis Castillon is somewhere in Kirkwall, but that she doesn’t know where. However, she’ll inform you that she knows the location of Velasco, one of Castillon’s lieutenants, and she’ll ask you to help her get the information out of him. If you agree to this plan, then you’ll gain friendship points with Isabela. Otherwise, you’ll gain rivalry points.

You’ll find Velasco upstairs in the Blooming Rose (day or night). When you enter his room with Isabela, you’ll convince him that you’re turning her in for a reward, which will earn you 3 sovereigns. Velasco will then escort Isabela to Castillon, and Isabela will leave a trail for you to follow. Isabela won’t be in your party for this, so be sure to add another companion before you leave.

Isabela’s trail will lead you through Hightown and Lowtown, and eventually it will take you to Castillon’s Landing at the Docks (at night). Inside, you’ll have to fight Velasco and his men (#3), but you’ll have Isabela helping you out, and so the battle shouldn’t be too bad. Afterwards, you’ll find The Pairing Knife and a key on Velasco’s corpse. The key will allow you to enter Castillon’s office, where you’ll find a chest containing Incriminating Documents (#5).

After picking up the documents, as you make your way out of the building, you’ll run into Castillon. Isabela will attempt to trade the documents for Castillon’s ship, and you’ll have to decide what to do:

• If you attack Castillon, then you’ll gain rivalry points with Aveline and Varric, and you’ll earn about 600 xp for the battle. You’ll also gain rivalry points with Isabela, but then you’ll gain friendship points with her right after the battle, and they’ll balance out. Castillon won’t drop anything notable when he dies.
  
  
• If you let Isabela take the ship, then you’ll gain friendship points with Aveline, Isabela and Varric, and rivalry points with Sebastian. You won’t see Castillon again.

Regardless, you’ll earn 1200 xp for completing the quest.
