So the only time Cassandra and Cullen have had any real interaction, I think, was during what's known as the "Civil War" event. To explain as briefly as possible: after a native Dalish with a shard (Sina) accidentally opened a rift within Skyhold, Cassandra freaked out a bit and started interrogating all the rifters/shardbearers to figure out just who had the ability to open rifts and who might decide to do so for their own nefarious purposes. The only rifter who ended up looking like a threat was Galadriel. Cassandra interrogated her and imprisoned her, then immediately went to the advisors to tell them what happened. The "Civil War" part comes in here, with a difference of opinion between (primarily) Leliana and Cassandra; Cassandra concerned and frightened about what the rifters might do/be capable of and just where their loyalties lie, and Leliana passionate about freedom and concerned about the implications of locking up an elven mage rifter (three marginalized groups in one) on mere suspicion of malicious intent. Cullen and Josephine were less involved, but Cullen did back up Cassandra's point of view and Josephine backed up Leliana.
After some public outcry and a letter from the Dalish, Cassandra eventually realized that keeping Galadriel locked up indefinitely wasn't an option. When Thranduil showed up and promised to take responsibility for anything Galadriel might do against the Inquisition in the future, Cassandra agreed to release her. She has her freedom but is shadowed by Templar guards wherever she goes.
Cullen wasn't hugely involved with most of this - most of it's in the advisor discussion post linked above. He did overhear Samwise Gamgee talking about Galadriel's mind control powers and went to warn the advisors about them in their final (dropped) discussion log about Galadriel before Cassandra met with Thranduil.
Seeing as nothing was ever done with Cullen's knowledge of Galadriel's mind control powers, it might be easiest to retcon it, but if you'd like to keep it I'm perfectly happy to work with you on that - it's up to you!
I'm assuming the mods already talked to you about advisor duties/the inbox - the advisor inbox and reports post are both located here. Definitely subscribe to both posts if you haven't, and it might be a good idea to read over old reports/messages just to get an idea of some of the things the advisors have signed off on or had to deal with.
Cullen and Cassandra's personal relationship was never really explored, but I'd like them to be close and am really looking forward to playing out more of their interactions! Please hit me up if you wanna work out any headcanon about their existing relationship or if you have questions about the Inquisition's structure and history in Fade Rift, the CW event, stuff from the advisor inbox or anything else.
