Most are loyalists to some degree. Maybe that's why Fiona was here so briefly.
As far as those who aren't loyalists go... You've Korrin, the qunari mage, who does not always make sense but at least she's respected. There are a few Dalish mages like Pel and Sina, and they are of course against the Circles. Bethany, of course, but it's more that she has never known the Circle and as a Warden will never know it. Morrigan who has also never know the Circles and will never. Kattrin is an Avvar mage.
Mm. Samouel Gareth is not exactly of rebel stock, not a loyalist, and he's been through the Circles. He's a good man, but if you ask him to participate in anything for freedom you'll have to be choosy about it. Christine Delacroix is worthless, refuses to be called a rebel but wants her freedom, and cannot be counted on. Inessa Serra, while a Warden, understands what it's like to want freedom, but expect her Warden vows to come first.
As far as anyone else... I've no idea where Saoirse stands. She's a possibility. I don't know your friend Kostos, if you could fill me in I'd appreciate it, and I know Vandelin by name only. There are plenty of Rifter mages who would like to keep their freedom, so they may well ally with us but they may also vanish at any moment. Petrana is sharp and careful, Sarkan is smart and... fiery, Waver is calm and collected.
[He pauses deliberately and hope enters his voice.]
And then there's Fern. One of the newer generation, who has not lived in fear of the Circles. If she can thrive, she could be exactly the model that many of the older generation need to see - a mage living outside the Circle and doing well, supported by other mages, finding her own way. Proof that not only is it doable, it's doable by them as well.
