Cremisius "Krem" Aclassi is a fictional character in the 2014 video game Dragon Age: Inquisition. He is a former soldier in the Tevinter Imperium's military forces, and is currently a member of the Bull's Chargers, a mercenary company led by the Iron Bull. He was created and written by Patrick Weekes. Canadian-American voice actress Jennifer Hale voiced Krem in Inquisition.

Krem is the first transgender character to appear in a BioWare video game. The character has received mostly positive reception in the Dragon Age series as a positive representation of transgender characters in video games.

Krem is the second explicitly transgender character in the Dragon Age series, the first being Maevaris Tilani from the comic mini-series Dragon Age: Those Who Speak. Patrick Weekes went into detail about the multi-year creation process for Krem in a blog post published on the official BioWare blog dated December 4, 2014. revealed that the idea for Krem first began when BioWare organised a panel discussion on how characters from the LGBTQ community are presented in its video games at a prior PAX event. Weeks claimed that an oft-repeated request from fans was for a respectful representation of transgender and/or genderqueer characters, without resorting to stereotypes or tokenism.

The writing team for Inquisition brainstormed and eventually came up with an idea to make the Iron Bull's lieutenant as such a character. Weekes developed the idea that Iron Bull's character, as a mercenary commander, would require the presence of a subordinate as a grounding force "to remind players that Bull has a history of command" and that he "is more than just hired muscle". This character would represent Iron Bull's dilemma over being pulled between a life of freedom and a life of devotion and submission to the Qunari system of thought and behavior, the Qun, and that his status as a trans man could enable them to explore gender roles in Qunari culture. Weekes noted that their writing goal was for Krem "to be a positive character who was living his life happily now", noting that a team of editors would examine every line of dialogue involving Krem and alter any dialogue and paraphrases that may give a wrong impression. Iron Bull and Krem would constantly bicker about little things as part of their relationship dynamic, but never attack each other's "truly sore spots".
