Anomen using Ajantis's picture would be a violation of his Cleric Ethos, as Ajantis is shown with what is definitely a sword-hilt. The Unnamed Male Human (wearing Plate armor) would have been better.
I can see substituting Garrick for Haer'Dalis, as at least he's holding an instrument. He'd better have cloven hooves and/or a tail, however, if he's supposed to be a Tiefling.
Skie for Nalia actually makes a great deal of sense, to my mind: Young Human noblewoman, not above a little stealing--but not too good at hiding it, though.
Coran for Valygar, however, defies all logic. He's supposed to be a semi-retired scout in the army, but anybody who looked like THAT would have been executed halfway through boot camp, just for purposes of general morale. Hello? Misshapen lunatic midget clown with a Shadow Thief mask going berserk with blood-dripping daggers? Does any of this sound like "Valygar" at all here? Hello? One really must wonder what those folks at BioWare were smoking at times. All it would have taken was one little suggestion, "Hey, instead of giving Valygar Coran's portrait, let's just use Kivan's." But nooooooo.
