VEZZ (#keeper vezz)FULL NAME Vezz of Cautti
ALIAS The Butcher of Theta-9
AGE 39
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Steve Staley
SHORT INTRO Probably the most unlikely of the commander group, Vezz had a very tumultuous route to the place he holds today. From a troubled childhood to a difficult time in college and an unfortunate tenure with the Inquest, he was someone who - in his old classmate Zojja's words - had nothing to lose and everything to gain. And while he started out as something of a death seeker after she roped him into her project, especially in the aftermath of his rampage in the defunct Theta-9 laboratory, he came to accept that he wasn't going to find absolution in anyone but himself. Though he often struggled with his mental health, he still managed to make significant strides. He married fellow commander Rissia after he and Garrus returned from their untimely deaths at Balthazar's hands and remained commander until retiring following the fall of Kralkatorrik. He and Rissia have twin progeny together, a son named Tybalt and a daughter named Sieran, and have settled in a small cottage in Applenook. More recently, they've sent the twins to stay with Rissia's parents while they step back into the saddle to handle the mess the Inquest has caused in Castora at Zojja's request.

OAKLINNA (#oaklinna)FULL NAME Oaklinna
ALIAS Linna, Twig
AGE 13
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY aroace
VOICE CLAIM Minnie Driver
SHORT INTRO A sylvari fifthborn who woke in the Cycle of Dawn, there are some that joke that Oaklinna ran to get out of her pod before the Pale Tree could hand her any sense. Nonetheless, she came into the world deeply curious, energetic, friendly, and awestruck by so many things. Led by her Wyld Hunt to "begin at the ending," she followed the path to become commander, meeting with the rest of the newly forming guild before the events at Claw Island. She and Trahearne had a very close relationship, not romantic but something else, and she was devastated by what happened to him. Insisting to be the one to end his suffering, she disappeared after his death in Heart of Thorns, only to resurface during Path of Fire having finally found her calling: a new tree had sprung up where Trahearne fell, with the firstborn himself becoming its avatar. She now helps with seeing to the newly awakened sylvari of the Brother Tree as its Knight. She loves good food and a good conversation, and has in more recent months encouraged her friends to come to see the new tree and what they've accomplished. She still does like to sample new foods, though, and often asks them to bring her things when they visit.

QIRRI (#qirri tinkerfirst)FULL NAME Qirri of Pazz
ALIAS Qiqi, Qirri Tinkerfirst
AGE 28
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM Colleen O'Shaughnessy
SHORT INTRO The younger sister of Vezz's wife and co-commander Rissia, Qirri was an oopsie baby and born dangerously premature, resulting in underdeveloped lungs and a weak immune system. A prodigy recognized from a young age, she became Zojja's first apprentice when she was eleven, entering the College of Dynamics the next year at twelve. Her college plans got derailed, however, when a bad spell caused her mother to insist she withdraw until her health improved... and that was when Rissia helped her run away from home. From here, she met another of the commanders - Garrus Firstblood - who adopted her as part of his warband and gave her the name Tinkerfirst. Along with fellow apprentice Taimi, she would go on to found the Dragonwatch Krewe. She had multiple near misses due to her health, including contracting a terrible fever in the Maguuma Jungle and nearly being crushed to death by Bangar during the events of Icebrood Saga. She and the rest of the krewe have since settled in Cantha, offering their space for Zojja and Leyya in the aftermath of SotO until they returned to Rata Sum, and working on the energy crisis as a team. She was thrilled when she learned Zojja had come home.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri
ALIAS Lightbringer, Lee
AGE 39
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Stephanie Beatriz
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents, she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she works as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. She found herself possessed by a weak Kryptis after Zojja's injuries in Maguuma, a symbiotic relationship that worked for a time. But when Zojja disappeared at the start of End of Dragons, her mental health started to deteriorate, coming to a head during SotO. Eparch triggered a violent transformation, with Cepir and Leyya warring for control of her own body. She was nearly killed in the attempt to save her life. Currently she's her baby sister Chuui's legal guardian, living with Zojja in Rata Sum while her long time companion - now wife - navigates her new role on the Arcane Council.

AGAUE (#agaue whiptail)FULL NAME Agaue Whiptail
ALIAS Aggie
AGE 36
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM Heather Headley
SHORT INTRO An Ash Legion spy, Agaue is a prickly, stand offish loner with a significant number of chips on her shoulder. Born to a mother who escaped her bonds in the Flame Legion while pregnant with her and a sibling that didn't survive childbirth, she was all too aware of what happened to her mother Medea - and her sire's status as a Flame Legion Shaman - constantly hanging around her neck like a noose. As such, she vowed to be stronger, harder, and more dangerous than anyone else in the fahrar with her, ensuring she would be able to claw back some modicum of respect. When Garrus Firstblood rose to commander, she was ordered to follow him to see what he was up to. Originally, their relationship was rocky- Agaue found him frustratingly easygoing, far too quick to cozy up to the other races they encountered. But with time, she began to warm up to him, and by the time of Path of Fire, they'd started a somewhat tentative relationship. He helped her get her mother to the Olmakhan when they were discovered and was the one to get her out of trouble after she killed her sire, Sanctus Acridflash, at the All Legions Rally. She joined her mother with the Olmakhan, and Garrus has since joined her there as well.

DESHAUNA (#deshauna tahir)FULL NAME Deshauna Tahir
ALIAS Pact Marshal, Shauna, Lady Tahir
AGE 37
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Toks Olagundoye
SHORT INTRO Born into nobility but raised with firm morals, Deshauna grew up in the small village of New Hope, loyal to Lion's Arch and not far from Applenook. Founded by Elonian refugees, her family has been there for generations, constantly uplifting the work and efforts of their neighbors and instilling in their children a sense of community. As such, Deshauna is a well known philanthropist. While she had little involvement with the guild initially outside of helping raise funds for the Pact's activities, the alleged death of Captain Logan Thackeray in Arah and the death of her beloved older brother Jelani in Maguuma during the Mordremoth campaign spurred her to action. She's since stepped up as Pact Marshal alongside her wife, Eshara Ulvhit. Deshauna is politically savvy, which came in handy when the Tyrian Alliance was founded. She's made no secret of her intense dislike of Isgarren, though - for Zojja's sake - she remains civil with him whenever at all possible. She even took up her spear to assist in the Janthir region while the commanders were busy and Odetta, Leyya, and Zojja were recovering. Her previous romantic relationship with Countess Anise is still the basis of a great deal of gossip.

PHEAZZA (#pheazza)FULL NAME Pheazza of Rhonn
ALIAS Phee
AGE 38
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Wendie Malick
SHORT INTRO The daughter of a merchant and a former sea captain, Pheazza spent much of her life in Lion's Arch, raised along the ramshackle streets and helping her parents in their sundries shop near the harbor. While she did attend the College of Synergetics at her father's behest, life within the magitech stone structures just wasn't for her. It was here, though, that she met her first partner Dhass, who was on a krewe with her, Vezz, and one of Rissia and Qirri's older sisters, Izza. She held a grudge against Vezz for years when he got into a fight with Dhass and left to join the Inquest, but she softened toward him significantly when he brought she and Dhass's kidnapped daughter Yixxi back from Theta-9 where the overseer Zaige was experimenting on progeny. Presently, she works out of Lion's Arch as the guild's requisitions officer. Seems she always "knows a guy who knows a guy," something that comes in handy when they need unusual goods from unusual places. Due to having stayed in Lion's Arch as long as she could to help evacuate people during the attack in Season 1, she suffers from a mild case of Scarlet's Rattle. She also has a working situationship with the ruthless crime lord Makko, who finds her fascinating.

YMPP (#ympp)FULL NAME Ympp of No One
ALIAS Troublemaker, Gopher
AGE 30
GENDER male (trans, he/him)
SEXUALITY gay
VOICE CLAIM Michael Kovach
SHORT INTRO If he'd been anyone else, Ympp may have been set up for success. An only child whose mother died in childbirth, he was always street smart but his skills intellectually didn't quite match up to any of his peers. His impish personality and tendency to get into trouble didn't help him much either. As a result, his scores in college didn't match up to the sorts of heights his father Binn expected of him... and so his father made an attempt to bribe the dean into getting him better grades. After finding out, Ympp dropped out and ran away, eventually getting caught sneaking into the Vigil's coffers. Conscripted into the order, he became Almorra's gopher. Eventually, she became like a surrogate mother to him, and she was equally fond of him, even if she did her best not to show any kind of favoritism. He was never much of a fighter, but having someone good at getting into tight spaces and excellent at picking locks did have its place, even somewhere like the Vigil. When she died, however, that death cut him deeply. He disappeared from anyone's radar for a while, but has since headed to Cantha to join up with Qirri and Taimi's krewe, and he's since started dating Yao.

NUNZIO (#nunzio fortino)FULL NAME Nunzio Fortino
ALIAS The Viper, Zio
AGE 36
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY pansexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO A former bandit captain under the name Nunzio the Viper, few people know the surly, sometimes a bit harsh young man's origins. Born in a village in Queensdale roughly ten years after his next oldest brother to their mother's second husband after the death of her first, Nunzio is actually the younger half brother of Logan (and Dylan) Thackeray. While he didn't much care for his oldest brother due to Dylan seeing him and his father as "replacements" of some kind, he idolized Logan growing up, especially as Logan went on to become a mercenary scout in stark contrast to Dylan's work as captain of the Seraph under the crown. It was Dylan's death and Logan's decision to take up their oldest brother's mantle, however, that illusion was shattered, and that moment is what led him to become a bandit. In the process, he was partnered with an Inquest liquidator named Iialli. After the reveal of the White Mantle, the pair of them left Brisban for Lion's Arch, with Nunzio joining the Lionguard and Iialli getting a job at Odetta's soap shop. They've since both entered into a relationship with the young woman. He secretly regrets not being able to reconcile with Logan before his (alleged) death in Arah.

IIALLI (#iialli)FULL NAME Iialli of Miyya
ALIAS n/a
AGE 36
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Ashley Nichols
SHORT INTRO One of the terrifying Miyya's only surviving children,Iialli began life as a brilliant girl who grew into someone with a lot more violence than one little body could handle. She eventually joined the liquidators, a position she excelled in, and she quickly climbed the ranks... sometimes unsettling her cohorts with how energetically she dealt with those that needed liquidating. Her enthusiasm eventually got her assigned to the joint efforts in the Brisban Wildlands, stationed at the camp of one Nunzio the Viper. The two had a pretty vitriolic relationship initially, though they warmed up to one another with time, winding up in a kind of frienemies with benefits situation for a time. After the reveal of the White Mantle infiltrating bandit camps, she decided to leave with Nunzio to head to Lion's Arch, breaking with the Inquest to find better work. After taking on a job at Odetta's soap shop, she grew pretty close to the young woman as well, and - along with Nunzio - struck up a relationship with her. She's honestly pretty happy in her new line of work and sometimes serves as the shop's bouncer when a drunk or thief meanders in. She's a big fan of the Metal Legion and is still pretty bummed they broke up.

PYXSI (#pyxsi)FULL NAME Pyxsi of Haia
ALIAS n/a
AGE 35
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO The grandniece of Councilor Haia, Pyxsi has lived in her great aunt's care since she was a small child. A talented mesmer, she grew up learning to utilize her magic in a variety of ways, including replacing her left arm, which she was born without. Creating a mesmer construct to serve as her prosthesis,she was happy to use this as a way to navigate the world, but as she got older, she began to question a lot of things... including what really happened to her parents and grandparents. It wasn't until after college, when her old college bestie Rissia was traveling as the commander, that she realized the truth: her great aunt had orchestrated their deaths in order to raise Pyxsi in her own footsteps. With her worldview shattered, Pyxsi turned very hard. Already calculating thanks to Haia's machinations, she used that to her advantage, though both of the women have been at an impasse for years: Pyxsi knows her aunt orchestrated the killings, but lacked hard evidence, and Haia knew Pyxsi was onto her, but couldn't act due to the risk of being found out. She's been orchestrating plans of her own ever since, with the intention of making absolutely certain Haia finally pays for her crimes.

ATSAIN (#atsain the curious)FULL NAME Atsain the Curious
ALIAS n/a
AGE 3
GENDER nonbinary (she/they)
SEXUALITY aroace
VOICE CLAIM none
SHORT INTRO Atsain is something of a mystery to many. A firstborn of the mysteriou Brother Tree, the tree that grew in Maguuma in the place where Trahearne died with the Pale Tree firstborn serving as its avatar, she's bright, enthusiastic, and deeply curious. They also awakened fully mute, though the memories of the Dream imparted on them ways to communicate in the sign languages of most of the major Tyrian races, developing a modified version to more easily communicate.. As the Brother Tree shares its memories of the Dream with the Pale Tree, she received a Wyld Hunt upon awakening: find the girl the late Sieran called Ruby Eyes before her death on Claw Island. While they were confused by their hunt, Trahearne and Oaklinna were able to get them pointed in the right direction. She made a beeline for Cantha, learning as much as she could along the way. On their arrival, the krewe was pretty confused,but Atsain proved to be a fairly talented engineer in their own right. As such, she's stuck right alongside them, striking up a friendship with Yao and learning as much as she can to help with both Taimi and Qirri's sensitive health issues. They're a welcome addition to the krewe.

NAQAI (#naqai)FULL NAME Naqai of Flax
ALIAS Nicky
AGE 22
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY Kate Micucci
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO The young daughter of high councilor Flax's late daughter, Naqai's parents were unfortunately lost in a horrible lab accident when she was just a baby. And despite his known prickly attitude, Flax took her in without question, and he dotes on her endlessly, making sure she never wanted for anything as she grew up, only entering the finest progeny schools and pre-college prep classes. Unfortunately for him, Naqai turned out much more like her late mother than her grandfather might have hoped, and she came up with a much bigger heart than anyone would have expected. That being said, Naqai is a talented young elementalist, and since her recent graduation from the College of Synergetics, she's trained herself up as an Evoker. Even more surprising to those who know her family, upon Zojja's election as a new member of the Arcane Council, she immediately applied as her assistant. She was thrilled to get the position and happily goes about doing any kind of errand her new boss may need, including periodically babysitting Zojja's wife's little sister Chuui. She has done her best to try to dissuade her grandfather from further work with the Inquest, but she hasn't had much luck.

CHUUI (#chuui)FULL NAME Chuui of Orann
ALIAS Choochoo
AGE 11
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY undetermined
VOICE CLAIM Madalen Mills
SHORT INTRO Leyya's youngest sibling overall and the youngest of her dad's seven kids, Chuui is a prodigy who got a pretty rough start in life. Her mother died when she was fairly young, leaving her in her father's care until Leyya stumbled upon knowledge of her existence. Having largely taken care of herself for several years before her sister came into the picture, she was a bit wary of the older woman, but after getting to know her, it was clear she was enamored. It wasn't long after that Leyya petitioned to become her legal guardian and Chuui instead went to live with her and Zojja. She's started to thrive since then, gaining weight she'd lost over years of trying her best to take care of herself with her father rarely noticing her, and proving to be quite a bright study. She even becomes Zojja's newest apprentice once she moves in, eager to go into either Synergetics or her sister's alma mater, the College of Dynamics. Now that she's had a chance to be a kid, she's funny and cheeky and loves to explore. Whenever Leyya and Zojja can't mind her, she's usually being watched by Zojja's assistant Naqai or by Leyya's mother Pruri, neither of whom Chuui minds spending time with at all.

CEPIR (#cepir the greedy)FULL NAME Cepir the Greedy
ALIAS Parasite, Pest
AGE unknown
GENDER agender (he/him)
SEXUALITY aroace
VOICE CLAIM Alex Brightman
SHORT INTRO While he would often try to make himself out to be a very powerful, dangerous Kryptis, that couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, Cepir spent much of his life in Nayos as effectively Eparch's jester. Some time into his tenure, however, he managed to offend his master greatly enough that he got himself exiled, trapped in a dagger called Rapacity hidden away out in Tyria until he was eventually uncovered during the events of Heart of Thorns by Leyya. When the dagger cut her skin, he was able to crawl into her mind, but being the lowest of the low that he was, that's about all he could do. Eventually, the pair developed a symbiotic relationship, with Leyya often commenting that she understood why he got fired as Eparch's gesture... but as time went on, it became almost a vitriolic friendship. During SotO, however, Eparch's actions nearly killed he and Leyya both, causing his power - which had grown over the years - to overwhelm her. Though they managed to save both of their lives, nearly killing Leyya in the process, it was a lot to process. He's since moved with Leyya and Zojja to Rata Sum, where Chuui kind of treats him like a weird house pet. He doesn't seem to mind.

RHENN (#rhenn of no one)FULL NAME Rhenn of No One
ALIAS Prototype-01
AGE 32
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY pansexual
VOICE CLAIM Jorge Rivera-Herrans
SHORT INTROThe magnum opus of Project Genesis, helmed by the former principal biomancer of the Inquest Prikk, Rhenn was custom designed in a gestation tank to be the perfect living weapon. Taller, stronger, and faster than other asura with high stamina, an extraordinarily high tolerance for pain, and a resistance to most toxins and illnesses. He grew up being trained as a custom designed soldier, undergoing constant brutal tests, training, and highly unethical experimental surgeries to perfect him even further. On becoming commander, it was his first time venturing outside the Helix Biomagitech lab, and the culture shock was intense. Before they even reached Zhaitan, he had removed the bracers from the captive charr Prikk sent with him, and as he progressed, he started actively working against his father's interests by actually helping people. It was during Season 3 that it really hit just how messed up his upbringing had been, and by Season 4 he left the Inquest for good. Initially brash, arrogant, and cocky, once he's cut his father's strings, a more tentative, uneasy, almost shy young man starts to emerge. He and Kippa's relationship, too, changed drastically over time, with her loathing him initially but starting to realize he was being far more manipulated than he realized. The two eventually fell in love, and currently they have one progeny, a little girl named Suzzi. Things in Castora, though, have gotten difficult... with Sebb, his father/creator's former apprentice, showing up, he realized he hadn't cut ties with the Inquest as much as he would've liked, and he's had a bad mental crash as a result.

KIPPA (#mender kippa)FULL NAME Kippa of Suzzi
ALIAS Oracle of Aurene, Kips, Kip, Kippers
AGE 34
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM Mandy Moore
SHORT INTRO A young healer who grew up in the since destroyed city of Rata Thauma in northern Metrica, a city annihilated by the explosion at Thaumanova, Kippa is a soft spoken, gentle young woman who may seem to be an open book at first blush, but the loss of her entire family except her uncle Gixx made her keep people at arm's length, terrified to let anyone close lest she wind up hurt again. Of course, the Inquest's involvement in the loss of Rata Thauma is why her initial reaction to Rhenn was so viscerally bitter. Insisting to follow him to make sure he didn't harm Iuno further (or at least that was her excuse), she became part of his entourage... but as time went on, she started to realize he wasn't what he appeared to be at first glance. Slowly, she let herself open up to him as he struggled to navigate an unfamiliar world, helping as he started to become his own person outside of his father's control. During Heart of Thorns, she felt a strong, startling pull towards the egg, though it wouldn't be until much later - starting around Aurene's brief death - that she would realize the truth. She was Aurene's Oracle, something wholly new, explaining her elemental magic being absurdly powerful and the pull she felt towards the egg to begin with. Her power broke through in full when Bangar nearly killed Rhenn, and he's helped her navigate the troubling waters since. She wound up (accidentally) becoming the Wayfinder and the biggest thorn in Isgarren's side he ever could've wanted. It was during her time as Wayfinder that she discovered she was pregnant with she and Rhenn's first progeny, a little girl named Suzzi after her late mother.

SID (#sid hackwrench)FULL NAME Sidera Hackwrench
ALIAS Sid
AGE 31
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Ashley Johnson
SHORT INTRO The youngest member of the Wrench warband, Sidera - known as "Sid" by her bandmates - was found as an infant progeny in the destroyed remains of a merchant caravan that had been set on by Separatists. As the asuran merchant had been a friend of theirs, and the aging warband was well aware he had no love lost for the home he and his family had been banished from, they made the decision to take in the girl and raise her themselves. As such, Sid isn't a very good asura, but she's a very good (if quite small) charr, despite her appearance. Having done her own time in the fahrar with the scars to prove it, she learned to hold her own from a very young age, using a quickly developing bright intellect and her small size, needle-like teeth, and sharp claws to her advantage. During her time in the fahrar, she made good friends with Iuno Wrathtalon, remaining in touch with her after returning to Wrench. Sid is known to be crass, loud, and surprisingly sturdy when drinking with bandmates, but she's deeply loyal to her warband and the Iron Legion at the end of the day. She's known for her startling sense of humor, razor sharp wit, and deep affection for the warband that's been her family since as long as she can remember. After her legionnaire Calix Quickwrench's death in Icebrood Saga at the hands of his indoctrinated son Pirithous Forgemind, she's been promoted to the legionnaire of the Wrench warband, and as the High Legions navigate the changes in the wake of Bangar's death, they've started following Rhenn and Kippa to provide support where they can. She's also made things official with Iuno.

RHIIA (#researcher rhiia)FULL NAME Rhiia of Nixxe
ALIAS Riri
AGE 47
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY aroace
VOICE CLAIM Teagan Earley
SHORT INTRO The biological daughter of Prikk and Nixxe and Prikk's only natural born child, Rhiia ran away at age fifteen when Rhenn was first taken out of the gestation tube. This was at her mother's insistence, as Nixxe was certain Prikk would kill her now that he had his "perfect specimen." During her departure, Rhiia was found and taken in by Uenno, who took her back to the Astral Ward, where she's been ever since. Training under Mabon, she's tried to keep close tabs on Rhenn's progress as he grew, and though she kept trying her best to get the wizards to involve on Rhenn's behalf, Isgarren continued to forbid her from interfering. She was able to rescue her mother's consciousness from Prikk's personal console after his death, keeping her in the Wizard Tower with her in a small personal golem. She was thrilled to meet Kippa when she arrived in the Horn of Maguuma, but meeting Rhenn was a whole different ball game. His anger over knowing there was someone who saw him but never helped felt like being plunged into cold water, and she's been forced to face her own priorities, torn between the organization that saved her life and the little brother she desperately wishes she could have helped. And that's only gotten worse since the events in Castora, seeing just how much control the Inquest still had over Rhenn. Up until recently, she'd been considering finally following Mabon's teachings and ascending, but now that she's had her eyes open as to the things she's missed and the ways they could have actually put time into protecting the world but didn't, she's not so sure.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri
ALIAS Lightbringer, Lee
AGE 39
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Stephanie Beatriz
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend that grew into something more as they got older, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents (her siblings are all half siblings on one side or the other), she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she worked as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand, helping with any little thing she might need doing... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. She lost her eye after being attacked by Teyo's twin sister, Tiiya, while helping Rhenn search for Zojja and Logan in Maguuma. As such, she spent a lot of recovery time right beside Zojja first in the Priory camp where Kippa cared for both of them and later in a private clinic run by an old classmate of Kippa's, someone she trusted more with their care than a council run hospital. She's since moved more to information and logistics work with Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's eyes on intel as she navigates her new position as a sitting councilor. It's not been the easiest path to walk, but they're certainly doing their best. The pair recently contracted after years of will-they-won't-they and Leyya has gotten custody of her baby sister, her father's youngest child, Chuui. She enjoys popping in on Rhenn on his various exploits "just to check in." She has been deeply worried about him lately, however.

DANICA (#danika helkin)FULL NAME Danika Helkin
ALIAS Dani
AGE unknown
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY pansexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO Big of heart and some other things, Danika is a necromancer with a lot of love for the world around her and the people in her life. The life partner of Barend, a boistrous norn who inexplicably decided Rhenn and his cohorts were great fun to have around, she and Iuno hit it off pretty quickly, and once she learned of the fate of Kippa's family, she immediately took it upon herself to welcome her into her own family. And Barend's, which he didn't really have many objections to. Despite not being the brightest out there, she's warm and good natured, as well as a significantly talented Scourge who has learned to use snow similarly to sand in her attacks. During the aftermath of Rhenn's injuries in Icebrood Saga and the sudden, violent emergence of Kippa's role as the Oracle of Aurene, she stepped up immediately to help keep the peace, quelling fears of the awesome power Kippa now wielded and making sure no one thought Rhenn had just magically returned from the dead a second time, alleviating fears he may have instead been some kind of Awakened or Undead. It was hard work, but her earnestness paid off tenfold, giving the pair much needed time to recover as others stepped up to help with the duties Rhenn was unable to fulfill. After, she made sure to impress on both of them that their home was always open to them, especially as it was in close proximity to the Priory, allowing them to visit Kippa's uncle more frequently should they stay. Somewhat unsurprisingly, she's considered Rhenn and Kippa's little baby Suzzi's godmother, and she dotes on the little progeny as much as if she were her own daughter.

SIGNE (#signe robbasdottir)FULL NAME Signe Robbasdottir
ALIAS n/a
AGE unknown
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY asexual biromantic
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO The younger sister of Barend Robbasson, Signe is the outlier of her family, dedicated to Snow Leopard instead of Bear. As a girl, while visiting the Snow Leopard shrine, they were set upon by Sons of Svanir set on destroying it. She was only nine at the time, and while she was severely injured, she remembers a mother snow leopard leaping to her aid, killing dozens of Svanir by herself before coming to sit protectively by her until the Havroun was able to get to her. She knew that day that she had been chosen, and she became an acolyte of Snow Leopard from that day forward. Since then, she's been training to take over as the next Havroun of Snow Leopard. In the meantime, she helps out around her brother's homestead, and she was the first to sense the strange magic that lingered around Kippa, feeling vindicated when she was realized as the Oracle of Aurene. When the time came for Braham to reach out to the Spirits during the events of Icebrood Saga, she offered her knowledge and assistance, walking beside him with the blessing of the Havroun. It was a long and lonely journey with him, but she feels she came out stronger on the other side. She was present at the final fight against Soo Won, but has since returned to Hoelbrak to rededicate herself to her training in earnest. She still keeps in touch, but she has far less time for contact these days. Most recently, she's journeyed to the wilds of Janthir to see the ways of the Lowland Kodan, where she met a young healer named Whispering Hollyhock. The two young women have become close since then, though no one really knows just what their relationship may be.

PYJAX (#pyjax)FULL NAME Pyjax
ALIAS Jax
AGE 38
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Jordan Fisher
SHORT INTRO A childhood friend of Khialli and her college crush, Pyjax was a gangly teenager in his college years who grew until the tough young man he is now. Part of that was assisted by his time spent at sea, as after graduation, he left a crystal telling his best friend where he was headed and joined a merchant krewe to sail until he could figure out what he wanted to do with his life. On his return, he had bulked up significantly, a far cry from the lanky youth he had been when he left. He applied with and was accepted into the Peacemakers, just like his grandmother had before her promotion. And he's quite popular among the other Peacemakers, too, and looks to be making a good name for himself, with the same drive to succeed that had seen his grandmother become head of the Arcane Eye before her sudden disappearance. And it's her death in the short month after the Thaumanova disaster that drove him to greater heights, with hopes of climbing the ranks to uncover the secrets of what really happened to the woman who raised him to the man he is.Of course, running into his old sweetheart may throw a kink in those plans, especially since he has no idea what she's been up to since the last time they saw each other. He didn't learn until later that the crystal he left for her never wound up in her hands, and he's been trying to reach out to her through his investigation into what happened to his grandmother to clear the air, hoping she's not mad at him since he really had meant for her to know what he was up to. What he discovers about her and his grandmother's involvement, however, will change them both forever.

LOPPFULL NAME Lopp of Kairee
ALIAS n/a
AGE 44 (deceased)
GENDER nonbinary (they/them)
SEXUALITY demisexual
VOICE CLAIM none
SHORT INTRO A Snaff Savant prize winner and highly respected golemancer around Rata Sum, Lopp was Praxxi's spouse and a shoe-in for Zojja's new project seeking out and destroying the Elder Dragons. They knew that their partner and son worried a great deal about them getting involved with all of that, but they had been a skilled guardian working with consulting for the Peacemakers for years and assured them both that things would turn out fine. And for a while, it seemed they were mostly correct. Things progressed as well as they could given the circumstances, and Lopp's generally easygoing and personable demeanor went a long way for helping Destiny's Edge reconcile as time passed. What no one expected was that during the intense fighting against Zhaitan once they reached Arah, Lopp would take a significant injury that no one noticed until it was far too late. Upon arriving back at Fort Trinity, Lopp abruptly collapsed, bleeding out in Eir's arms as Caithe ran to find a healer. Their death shocked their surviving family, leaving Praxxi catatonic and Khaill devastated. But from their death, hope would spring. Their beloved wife would step up to lead the Pact in the wake of their death, managing to keep things together despite her own immense grief. Still, Lopp's loss has left a distinct hole, one that's managed to keep the members of Destiny's Edge and Dragon's Watch much more tightly knit than they might have been before, keeping everyone pushing forward. There is a memorial to them in Fort Trinity, a statue and small plaque dedicated to their bravery, steadfastness, and loyalty, letting people pay homage to the commander even after their death.

PRAXXI (#professor praxxi)FULL NAME Praxxi of Moyrha
ALIAS Professor, Teach
AGE 55
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Patina Miller
SHORT INTRO A former professor at the College of Statics before she resigned to take up her spouse's mantle, Praxxi is a generally fair, soft spoken woman who was more than happy with her lot in life. Though she worried about Lopp when they took up Zojja's offer to work on her project after they won that year's Snaff Savant prize, she had faith in their abilities as a guardian and tried not to pay it much mind. Instead, she focused on her work at the college and the raising of their then sixteen year old son Khaill. Lopp's death, however, absolutely shattered her, and it was all she could to to go through the motions until the events of Season 1. Given an invitation to the Queen's Jubilee by Logan, who came to check in on her, she attended in her spouse's place and found herself thrust into the spotlight. Since then, she's been the acting commander of the Pact, though she's refused that title outright, preferring to be called Professor by those around her. She regrets not being able to spend more time with her son, though he's incredibly supportive of her actions in the field, and never shies away from telling people how proud he is of her. She even sponsored Zojja's council run after she and Leyya returned to Rata Sum after the events in Maguuma. Her shock came in Amnytas, where she learned her youngest sister Poppi - thought lost in a munitions incident during the fight against Zhaitan - had been with the wizards ever since. Struggling even more with that knowledge, Castora has given her a new issue: the mysterious Inquest director Vloxx, who has taken more than just a professional interest in her.

POPPI (#acolyte poppi)FULL NAME Poppi of Moyrha
ALIAS Pip
AGE 34
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY asexual biromantic
VOICE CLAIM Shoba Narayan
SHORT INTRO The youngest of six siblings with Praxxi being the oldest, Poppi graduated from the College of Dynamics with a strong lean towards demolitions. Her passion and drive let her graduate Genius First Grade, with the turquoise band to prove it. She had initially joined the Incinergen Krewe in Soren Draa after leaving college, but it didn't really scratch the itch to help the world she had lingering in her chest. This led her to immediately opt to join the Pact when things started going under Lopp, something that would ultimately spell a big change for her... and for her whole family. While on a run to sink Dead Ships interfering with their actions in Orr, she opted to handle the underwater mines herself. On realizing that she just didn't have time to get free, however, she sent up the signal and the explosives went off around her. Her family was informed she had died. In truth, a member of the Astral Ward embedded in the Pact rescued her and took her to the Wizard Tower to recover. She's been with them ever since, honing her abilities and hoping to someday help out her big sister again, even if Mabon gently informed her that it may not necessarily be possible. On meeting her again during the events of SotO, she was deeply apologetic, eager to help, especially after learning the wedge it drove into their family after her disappearance. She's been a great help in Castora, though she doesn't much trust Vloxx, despite how good he is to Praxxi. She still sometimes behaves a bit childishly, but she's brave when it counts. She's been trying to figure out how to fix things between Praxxi and the rest of their siblings.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri
ALIAS Lightbringer, Lee
AGE 39
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Stephanie Beatriz
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend that grew into something more as they got older, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents (her siblings are all half siblings on one side or the other), she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she worked as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand, helping with any little thing she might need doing... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. She was nearly captured alongside Zojja during the events of Maguuma, but managed to fight away while trying to save her, winding up losing her eye to a horrific acid burn from one of the Mordrem she was fighting. It took her months to recover. Praxxi visited her and Zojja constantly and got them set up in the clinic where her son, Khaill, worked with his partner Ambii. She's since moved more to information and logistics work with Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's eyes on intel as she navigates her new position as a sitting councilor. The pair recently contracted after years of will-they-won't-they and Leyya has gotten custody of her baby sister, her father's youngest child, Chuui. Praxxi tends to mother her when she's around, much like how she treats Zojja, and though both young woman huff about it at times, they do appreciate her concern and constant checkups.

ROSIE (#rosie marriner)FULL NAME Rosamund Isaye Marriner
ALIAS Rosy-Posy
AGE 30
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Jessie Mueller
SHORT INTRO The youngest of four kids, Rosamund "Rosie" Marriner grew up running the streets of the free city of Lion's Arch. The great-granddaughter of Cobiah Marriner himself, she was always incredibly proud of the city she grew up in and very aware of the law of the land. Her own mother Julianna, the late wife of Lawson Marriner, was a pirate captain for years before retiring. She knew thieves and prostitutes and pirates, was well aware of all sorts of dens and hovels throughout the city, and never once feared what Lion's Arch could do so long as she knew where to step. Alongside her best friend Guinevere "Ginny" Villemont, the two were known but loved troublemakers throughout their childhood. When Rosie was ten, however, tragedy struck: a storm swept through Lion's Arch and she found herself caught out on an old wooden walkways. Julianna spotted her, rushed out to throw her to dry land and her own old friend Tiran Tidefolly, right before a wave swept the bridge away, taking Julianna with it. Her body was found days later on the rocks around Claw Island, identified by the pendant Lawson gave her for their wedding. Rosie blamed herself for years and nearly let herself drown in a riptide at twelve when a voice told her to SWIM. She'd become a revenant, channeling her great-grandfather's one time ally Councilor Macha. Years later, she and Ginny would get swept into the fight against the dragon that her great-grandfather once faced and then some, making new friends and - for Rosie - new loves, in her case in the wild young Braham Eirsson.

UMBRA (#umbra shadowshot)FULL NAME Umbra Shadowshot
ALIAS Gladium
AGE 32
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Ashleigh Ball
SHORT INTRO Umbra probably wouldn't have wound up traveling with Rosie and Ginny under most circumstances. Once a member of the Ash Legion's Shadow warband, betrayal within the ranks left all but her and their traitorous Legionnaire dead. Knowing what she had to do, Umbra turned the tables, taking his life to avenge the rest of her warband. This, however, left her a gladium... not that she ever let it get her down. A talented necromancer, she found after they had passed that she could actually speak and interact with the dead. Her warband continued to stay close by her, eventually assisting her as spirits on the battlefield, and it was on one such occasion as Rosie and Ginny were traveling through charr territory that the group met up. Intrigued by her story, the two girls gladly welcomed her into their traveling party. And she gave as good as she was able, supporting them through everything they came up against. The ultimate surprise for all of them was on finding Rata Novus, when Taimi's experimentation activated a pod that contained an asura who'd been frozen there since the day the city was overrun. Xeonna was ready to fight just about everyone at first, but eventually Umbra was able to bridge the gap and the two became close as Xeonna began to travel with the rest of the party. She has stayed loyal and steadfast, too, all the way through the campaigns, though she was clearly uncomfortable at the All Legions Rally... something made even harder when Xeonna took Braham's place as Primordus's champion. It was only through her that Xeonna found her way back.

XEONNA (#xeonna the lost)FULL NAME Xeonna of Rata Novus
ALIAS Zee
AGE 37 (technically ~187)
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM Eden Espinosa
SHORT INTRO One of many asura who followed Zinn after he was exiled by Oola, Xeonna, her wife, and the rest of her family were more than happy with their new life in Rata Novus. Xeonna worked as a guard in the dragon research laboratories, making friends with researchers and her fellow guards, building a life for herself as they turned Rata Novus into a thriving, vibrant community. Her wife worked on the light pipe system that brought sunlight back down from the surface, and they had just welcomed their first child together into the world when the worst came to pass: the chak overran Rata Novus. After helping sound the alarms to get people to evacuate, she hung back at the dragon labs, hoping against hope that if nothing else, her wife and son and the rest of their family would get to safety. During the last bit of fighting, however, she was knocked over the railing on the platform they were standing on, landing in a containment tank that flash froze her, suspending her in time. It wouldn't be until almost 150 years later, when Taimi was doing research in the lab, that her pod was activated, freeing her once more. She spent days recovering from what Taimi referred to as "stasis sickness" and it took her even longer to acclimate to the coexistence of charr with everyone else and the existence of the sylvari. With nowhere else to go, she began to travel with the commanders, striking up a friendship with Umbra... one that later saved her life after she took on the role of Primordus's champion, feeling she had nothing left to lose, with only Umbra able to reach in and pull her back from the brink.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri

VOICE CLAIM Stephanie Beatriz
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend that grew into something more as they got older, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents (her siblings are all half siblings on one side or the other), she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she worked as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand, helping with any little thing she might need doing... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. During the Pact's activities in Maguuma, while Zojja was overseeing logistics at one of the forward camps, she traveled with Rosie, Ginny, Umbra, and Braham deeper into the jungle to try to find Eir. It was while on that excursion that she acted to distract Faolain from the party, losing her eye in the process. After they returned, she returned to Rata Sum with Zojja, where she opted to support her on her run for an Arcane Council seat while she recovered. She's since moved to more intelligence and logistics work with the Order of Whispers, feeding information to Rosie and Ginny whenever she's able, though she does like to check in on them on occasion. She's recently (finally) married Zojja officially and taken on her youngest sister Chuui as her ward. She's been constantly teasing Rosie about her and Braham finally tying the knot.

EVVA (#evva of quora sum)FULL NAME Evva of Quora Sum
ALIAS Experiment 1895
AGE 23
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
SHORT INTRO In a perfect world, Evva wouldn't even be part of this story. A young agricultural engineer whose primary job was helping with the care of Quora Sum's mushroom orchards, she was bubbly, bright, and had a strong future ahead of her as the six underground cities continued to grow... until Primordus stirred and the Destroyers came. Evva was in the process of fleeing with her family when the world suddenly became bright, flashing colors and noise. When she woke up, she was in the medical ward of a laboratory... a guest of the Inquest. An ambitious overseer, Myrrd, had pulled her forward from her own time to the modern day. Since her arrival, she's been quiet and withdrawn, struggling with the modernity of the world she's found herself in. She speaks no New Krytan and painfully little modern asuran; her speech patterns are dated, more in line with the archaic asuran of the first of their race to reach the surface almost 300 years ago. She managed to escape with a young researcher named Auk, though he unfortunately died in the attempt. She's since been taken in by the Priory, and after successfully verifying her story against historical records and a family who marked a daughter, Evva, as vanishing in what they thought was an explosion of chaos magic, they've started trying to acclimate her to the modern world. On learning of her existence, Xeonna was quick to jump in and assist as best she could. She has one living relative, a descendant of one of her sisters: Councilor Phlunt. They've been introduced, and right now, he's one of the handful of people she really trusts.

TIRANFULL NAME Tiran Tidefolly
ALIAS Tire
AGE 67
GENDER male (trans, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Brian Murray
SHORT INTRO Though advanced in age, the old helmsman Tiran Tidefolly of the Bloody Duke's Folly, the ship once captained by Julianna Marriner, is no less energetic and keen as he was in his youth. He served for many years as her loyal crewmate and, when she left the ship to marry Lawson Marriner and become a mother, he gladly followed her to land as well, taking up a position as her personal assistant as she aided her husband with his duties on the captain's council. Still, he would often take up side jobs assisting around the harbor, something Julianna often encouraged. Her death when young Rosie was only ten devastated him and the rest of the old crew, and he vowed to do his best to take care of her and her older brothers in the wake of her passing. Several years later, he was framed for the murder of a Seraph visiting Lion's Arch, and Rosie and her best friend Ginny had to step in to investigate. It was an action that got the girls started on their route to becoming commander. He worries a great deal about the two girls in their journey and even pulled Logan aside to make sure he knew, in absolutely no uncertain terms, that if he did not keep those two young women safe, he'd gut him and hang him by his innards from the main-mast of the tallest ship in the harbor. He keeps in touch with them through letters and, more recently, through a communicator Taimi gifted him, though it's clear he isn't quite sure on how to use it most of the time. He's not a fan of Ellen Kiel, either, and consistently gives her grief when out and about in town, regardless of Magnus's bluffing.

AKKUA (#mistologist akkua)FULL NAME Akkua of Shurri
ALIAS Archon
AGE 34
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO A bright, bold, sassy young archon in the Priory, Akkua's field of study largely pertains to mists research, an extremely volatile, little explored, and dangerous magical field, but she finds it suits her just fine. Much of her time is usually spent in the field, journeying into the mists to study the flora or working with those coming back from the mist wars to see if there's any unusual affects on their physiology. She's even studied herself when other subjects were slim. That being said, she will never force anyone to work with her. When the Priory took in the mysterious Evva, however, she was genuinely in her element. While other researchers worked to verify her claims through family records left by those who escaped the deep underground when Primordus rose, she turned her expertise to the unique ley magic surrounding the girl. That corroborating evidence went a long way to help prove her claims. Since then, she's been assigned to work closely with her, as technically Evva IS a mists anomaly, and Akkua has been as careful and understandable as possible. She's been teaching her modern asuran since it's clear she doesn't like or want to learn New Krytan, and figures that's something they can work up to with time, on top of acclimating her to other races and taking her out for very small exposures to sunlight. She's become something of a sister to her, and a connection Evva dearly needed. She makes sure to keep the commanders and their company updated on her progress and welcomes them when they visit.

ISLWYN (#islwyn the penitent)FULL NAME Islwyn
ALIAS Silly
AGE 7
GENDER male (trans, he/him)
SEXUALITY gay
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO Islwyn's time on Tyria has been tumultuous thus far, to say the least. Found wandering alone in the Shiverpeaks by a well meaning norn, he was returned to the Pale Tree in Caledon, thinking he was just a lost Pale Tree sylvari. But Islwyn had no connection to these people and wound up first joining the soundless then later trying his hand with the Nightmare Court. After Heart of Thorns, he was captured and sent to the Priory... only to find he wasn't from the Pale Tree at all. He had originated from a massive pine deep in the Shiverpeaks Mountains. His time with the Court, however, may not have corrupted him, but it made him bitter towards the world, frustrated with those around him much more easily, misunderstanding of the actions they took. But instead of killing him, the decision was made to try to reform him so he could perhaps one day return to his own tree. He traveled with the Pact for a time and later found himself entranced by Aurene, joining the Crystal Bloom as one of her adherents. It was here that he was given a new opportunity: the reformation of someone else. After Ryland Steelcatcher's defeat, Islwyn stepped in to help work with him, to bring him to a better future like the one he had found over time. The pair has a somewhat vitriolic relationship, and often times they butt heads, but Islwyn's time spent working to undo the damage the Nightmare Court did to him has done much to help Ryland turn a corner. They've got a long road to walk, but they're walking it together, and that's really the best they can hope for.

MENELAUS (#menelaus havocheart)FULL NAME Menelaus Havocheart
ALIAS Legionnaire, Centurion, Menny
AGE 37
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO The third youngest of the many cubs of legendary Blood Legion centurion Liath Slaughterclaw, Menelaus knew - much like all his siblings - that he lived under a long shadow. Still, he was consistently loyal to the Blood Legion, climbing the ranks to become a well liked legionnaire in his own right. He's a fierce fighter, one with a strong sense of justice and a fierce dedication to his friends and warband. Meticulous and sharp witted, he's a skilled tactician, and as such the Havoc warband has a reputation for their prowess in battle. While Menelaus will claim he hasn't let it go to his head, he's more proud of his bandmates than most ever get to hear him say. More recently, he's found himself dragged into a mess thanks to the legacy of his sire, who fled to the Flame Legion after his younger sister came out as trans and Liath beat him senseless for mistreating her after. That got him noticed, even moreso due to his older half brother Rytlock Brimstone. He tried to keep his nose to the grindstone, a loyal Blood Legion charr who was unquestioning of the world he grew up in. When Catreus Havocbane sold their warband out to the Flame Legion, he immediately stepped up to tear him down, and that was the beginning of him climbing the ranks. It was right after the events of Claw Island that he ended up back in Skrittsburgh following some clues, meeting a little asura living among the skritt named Mharnii. Following her, he gained the alliance of the sylvari Khaya, Rhoslinn, and Therin, though Therin betrayed them in the end. He's continued as steadfastly as he could, though as time has passed, he's begun to question his place in the High Legions and with their checkered past. His relationship with his half brother Rytlock has slowly improved, at the very least. SotO did not happen in his setting; he and Mharnii were away until they were called back for Janthir.

MHARNII (#mharnii)FULL NAME Mharnii of Skrittsburg
ALIAS Marmar
AGE 34
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO A young asura who ran away from home at age 13, right as she was starting college. She was all set to go into the College of Dynamics, but one day while running some errands, she heard some of her old progeny school classmates laughing at something. On checking it out, she discovered that they were harassing a little skritt kit. Angry, she demanded they stop. But they wouldn't be dissuaded, shoving the little skritt to the ground before moving to circle her, insisting to her that it was just a skritt. She was being silly. Immediately set off, she shoved one of the bigger kids out of the way, scooping up the kit before trying to run. She wound up getting beat pretty badly, but escaped regardless, finding her way to Skrittsburg with the girl. The skritt scratch was immediately grateful for bringing the kit home and adopted her in as one of her own, tending to her injuries and nursing her back to health. The kit, Trika'cee, became like a little sister to her, and while with the scratch, she took in and raised a dire wolf cub she named Korri'ta. She's fiercely protective of the scratch, as they've been her family for ten years now, and she loves them all dearly. All of that would change, however, when the charr commander Menelaus came through while doing research. She was immediately wary of him, but the king told her to follow him. Make sure he didn't cause any trouble for the skritt. And for a long time, that was the most she was willing to tolerate. Over time, however, it became clear that she and Menelaus were growing far closer than anyone ever expected. It took him nearly dying during the events of Icebrood Saga to get them to admit their feelings, and after the events in Cantha, the pair took some time for a much needed vacation, returning just in time to learn of a strange new alliance with a mysterious faction of wizards and the bizarre, otherworldly Kryptis.

RHOSLINN (#rhoslinn)FULL NAME Rhoslinn
ALIAS Rhos, Rosy
AGE 13
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO A secondborn sylvari who came far too close to falling to Nightmare, Rhoslinn had a rough start of it. Frustrated at what little information the Pale Tree was able to provide them and swayed by Faolain's lies, she had begun the process of joining the court when her fellow secondborn Khaya finally tracked her down. The two were at odds for weeks as Khaya attempted to change her mind, but it wasn't until Rhoslinn witnessed a courtier murder a very new thirdborn for the crime of simply questioning why they would follow a path of anger, violence, and hatred that she realized the error of her ways. It took even longer for she and Khaya to mend the wo unds opened between one another by Rhoslinn's initial decisions, but in the end, they managed to work it out. It wasn't long after that the two of them joined up with Menelaus after he first met Trahearne, alongside a friend of theirs named Therin. Coy and flirtatious, she's nonetheless dedicated to Khaya, despite what other people may suspect of her. She's a talented mesmer and was more than happy to offer her services to get out of Caledon for a while. It was clear early on to Menelaus that she wasn't entirely comfortable around Therin, something that was a point of contention until time went on. When he betrayed the party right before the Zhaitan fight, Menelaus saved her life, and she vowed to return the favor someday. Most of the time, partly because Khaya is easily distractable and she absolutely does not trust either Menelaus or Mharnii with a cookpot, she handles the cooking for the party. When it comes to combat, however, she and Khaya both tend to blend into the background, largely on account of their style... Khaya as a thief and Rhoslinn using her clones. Still, at the end of the day, she's a loyal friend and happy to be traveling along with the rest of the party.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri

SEXUALITY lesbian
VOICE CLAIM Stephanie Beatriz
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend that grew into something more as they got older, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents (her siblings are all half siblings on one side or the other), she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she worked as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand, helping with any little thing she might need doing... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. She and Zojja were separated during the initial crash of the airships in Maguuma, losing her eye and significantly scarring her face from burns she received during the incident. The pair were reunited at a Priory medical camp, and once the dust had settled, Rhoslinn and Khaya reached out to some menders they knew in the Grove to see to the care of both of them, far from the interference and machinations of Rata Sum. Once the pair recovered, they headed back to Rata Sum independently, with Zojja gunning for and winning a seat on the Arcane Council as Leyya moved to a role involving more information and logistics with the Order of Whispers. They were two of the first to step up when the Wizards and newly christened King Peitha of the Kryptis reached out to the rest of Tyria, and it was Leyya who sought to reach out to Menelaus through Rhoslinn and Khaya in order to let him know of the new shakeup. She's stayed in touch since they've stepped back in, helping coordinate information between all parties so that no one is kept out of the loop. She's just not sure where the information on Castora came from.

OLLYNEFULL NAME Ollyne the Lost
ALIAS Ollie
AGE unknown (appears to be ~30)
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual
VOICE CLAIM undecided
SHORT INTRO A harpy who woke up in Shaemoor after inexplicably appearing during the battle defending the village from centaurs, Ollyne remembers very little of her life before waking up in Andrew and Petra's inn in Salma District. Just her name, the importance of the magically preserved feather in her hair, and brief flashes of walls of ivory and gold. Unable to do much more than forge ahead, she agreed to assist Logan in his plan to deal with the Elder Dragons, becoming commander with the hope something along the way would jog her memory. What she couldn't remember is that she was a wizard with the Astral Ward, having joined after her people began to lose their connection to Tyria's magic. As her sister began to behave erratically, she took one of her feathers and left to seek help... only to lose herself in ascension, forgetting the life she left behind or the people she wanted to save. An accident during a mists experiment in Amnytas around the time of the start of the Personal Story saw her thrown through the mists, landing in Shaemoor with no memory of the many decades of events previous and her magic somehow obscured from the Ward. She did at least make good friends with Petra during her time in Divinity's Reach, and time will tell which life she prefers to live: to stay with the family she's built in Tyria or to return to the wizards who saved her from the magical severing that affected the other harpies hundreds of years ago. She has done her best in her role as commander, even if she feels incredibly awkward at times. She was furious when, after his apparent death in Arah, Logan appeared again with the wizards who had just considered her lost forever when the experiment went wrong. She's on very poor terms with her former companions with the exception of Dagda, who's done the most work in reaching out.

AHLMA (#necrologist ahlma)FULL NAME Ahlma of Skotti
ALIAS n/a
AGE 37
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
SHORT INTRO A former member of the Durmand Priory, Ahlma left to join the Order of Whispers after an argument with Steward Gixx within which she was furious that they weren't willing to go far enough to contain or destroy artifacts that were particularly dangerous. After joining, and after spending some time acclimating, she was given an assignment to work with a charr who had recently been taken in. He was a Flame Legion refugee named Silas Dreadpyre, and while he was hard to get used to, she did her best to work with him as he provided information... in exchange for information of his own. It eventually came out he was with a contingent of charr allied with Efram Greetsglory, a warband that had abandoned the ways of old Flame and were attempting to turn it into something better. While he at first was unpleasant about her being trans, he learned very quickly to respect her, and after some time the pair developed a friendly - and then later romantic - relationship. And it was while traveling with Silas, following the founding of the Pact, that she met Ollyne. She was fascinated at meeting a fully sapient harpy and despite the fact that she was no longer with the Priory, her natural curiosity was still there: she wanted to know more about the woman. Alongside her stalwart charr companion, she stepped up to travel alongside her. It was because of her connections back in Rata Sum that Ollyne was able to get Zojja to somewhere safe for treatment after her injuries in Maguuma, and she stepped up a lot to help out Taimi with the many difficulties they came across in the meantime. When Ollyne learned the truth of what happened to her and why she had no memories of her past or why she wound up in Shaemoor, she was more than happy to sit with her and let her vent or cry, whatever she needed. As such, she's quite chilly towards most of the ward and does not like Isgarren.

SILAS (#silas dreadpyre)FULL NAME Silas Dreadpyre
ALIAS Grumpy
AGE 39
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
SHORT INTRO Silas Dreadpyre, real name Silas Boldglory, is a member of Efram's "nu Flame" warband who left to get a read on how the rest of Tyria was viewing the Flame Legion in the wake of Gaheron Baelfire's death. Positioning himself as a Flame Legionnaire who was defecting as he'd gotten sick of the politics, he approached the Order of Whispers, where he was assigned to a sharp witted asuran woman named Ahlma. He didn't quite understand her initially- he may have believed in Efram's philosophies, but he couldn't understand why Ahlma decided to live as a woman. She put him in his place very quickly, and he took the time to learn. It took some time, but the pair eventually became friendly. And after a while longer, that relationship turned romantic. He's gruff and has what Ahlma affectionately refers to as a resting bitch face, but underneath he's a guy who's doing his best. While it may not always seem that way, he cares a great deal about the people in his life; he's just really bad showing it. Silas had just gotten his footing in Whispers when Ollyne came into the picture, and he had a much harder time getting used to her than Ahlma did. But he did warm up eventually, and became one of her strongest advocates as the fight against the Elder Dragons moved forward. He even started (grudgingly) working with Rytlock for support from the High Legions, mostly because he knew very little of how the politics there functioned. After the Flame Legion was welcomed back to the Black Citadel following the events of Icebrood Saga, he was offered the opportunity to return as a tribune under Efram. Silas, however, wanted to focus on his friends and Ahlma, and instead he opted to stay with them. He, much like Ahlma, has zero love for the wizards, especially after how they treated Ollyne, and he very nearly punched Logan when they first encountered him. He kind of regrets not doing it.

LEYYA (#infiltrator leyya)FULL NAME Leyya of Pruri
ALIAS Lightbringer, Lee
AGE 39
GENDER female (trans, she/her)
SEXUALITY lesbian
SHORT INTRO Zojja's childhood best friend that grew into something more as they got older, Leyya is a skilled spy and assassin, known for her sharp wit and easy way about people. Deep down, though, she deals with a lot of insecurities. The oldest of thirteen siblings and the only one born to both her parents (her siblings are all half siblings on one side or the other), she never connected with her father and sometimes acted out with her mother regardless of how hard Pruri tried. As an adult, she worked as a Lighbringer with the Order of Whispers, though more often than not she's Zojja's right hand, helping with any little thing she might need doing... partially due to her own unfortunate mindset that if she can't be wanted, she will make herself needed. She was with Ollyne when they found Zojja's pod, and while working to get her free, they were attacked by several Mordrem, and a firebomb thrown in the fight resulted in her face and arm being horribly scarred, causing her to lose her right eye. She went back to Rata Sum with Zojja to recover with a physician in Ahlma's family. After this, she took on an advisory role in Whispers and began supporting Zojja in her run for a seat on the Arcane Council. And since gaining that seat, with her so busy, Leyya's become her eyes and ears, passing information from Ollyne to Zojja and from Zojja regarding the Council back to Ollyne. Thankfully, she and Ahlma knew each other quite well from the Order of Whispers, so that gave her a leg up in being able to pass messages in a way they wouldn't be easily intercepted by those with ill intentions. Since then, she's gotten custody of her baby sister Chuui from her father Orann and has reconnected with her mother Pruri. She's settled down a lot and has been working on some of her attachment issues, but she still loves hearing the tea from the commander and co. She does wish she could beat up Logan herself, though.

MIYYA (#miyya)FULL NAME Miyya
ALIAS Asuran Resources Director
AGE unknown
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual
VOICE CLAIM Eartha Kitt
VERSES all
SHORT INTRO From the Inquest Ethics Committee's secret hideout deep in Mount Maelstrom, Asuran Resource Director Miyya cuts a terrifying figure in the Inquest. Entire subkrewes live or die, literally, on her direction, and she loathes the waste of resources... which included in her own children, many of whom she killed for being a waste of resources themselves. Just getting a lab inspection from one of her inspectors is bad enough, getting a message from her is a death sentence, and if you get called to her office directly? No one knows what might happen exactly, but it's likely a fate worse than death. No one knows exactly what gets you chosen for a position on the Ethics Committee, but one should be mindful if they receive a proper summons from her. As the head of the Ethics Committee, Miyya has a surprising amount of power in the Inquest, calling shots whenever the Director isn't available to do so themselves. She's highly respected... but also justly feared. Due to the power of her role, she answers only to the director of the Inquest, and while she is annoyed at how little Vloxx allows her to "deal with" problem employees, she does admire his efficiency and resource management skills. Kuda's later takeover, however, is back to the status quo... and that's something Miyya is certainly more than happy to work with.

VOICE CLAIM Carrie Anne Moss
VERSES all
SHORT INTRO Very little is known about one of the cruelest crime lords in Lion's Arch other than no one knows her true name, and very few even know her real identity. Those who know the proprietor of the high end Hammerhead Salon know a shrewd businesswoman who came to Lion's Arch from Rata Sum to build a bustling business selling high end goods to those with the coin to pay. But to those in the know enough to have one of her coveted basalt pins knows a different tale: the charming, well spoken Lady Makko is the most powerful smuggler in the city, coming into power many years ago from a two bit criminal named Scrimm. She went from a nobody to a terrifying force on the bodies of all who dared to get in her way, and while she manages to keep her illicit dealings well hidden beneath the veneer of respectability her salon carries, those with special access to her "rare stock" will be able to purchase almost anything their heart desires, smuggled into the city from well paid pirates with whom she has a lucrative partnership. She has been known, however, to kill slavers outright, and refuses to deal in "living merchandise." Of course, she wasn't always the feared and respected queen of the underground she is today, but no one really knows her true origins. For all her cruelty, however, she does take care of those less fortunate or in need. She knows what that feels like all too well.

VOICE CLAIM Suzanne Plechette
VERSES Tyria-404, Tyria-2007, Tyria-1070
SHORT INTRO Elektra Vowbreaker, formerly Elektra Rendstone. About a year or so older than Crecia, she escaped the Flame Legion at sixteen after being born into the faction. She wound up in the Stone warband alongside Rytlock and Crecia, and she and Cre had an almost sisterly relationship for a huge chunk of their lives. Crecia even helped her liberate the daughters she'd borne while still in the control of the Flame Legion. So when the All Legions Rally happened and she learned that the idea for bringing the Flame Legion back into the fold was Crecia's? Elektra was furious. After a blow-up argument between the pair that ripped open some grievous emotional wounds, Elektra stormed off... and began to enact her plan. Seeking out and folding into her leadership any charr she could find that escaped the Flame Legion and had either witnessed or been subjected to their brutality, she formed the Breaker warband, made up of those who also felt betrayed by the High Legions decision to forgive the horrific crimes of the Flame Legionnaires, feeling their "gentler" side under Efram was only an act. And Elektra herself took on the name Vowbreaker, both to remind Crecia of her betrayal and to remind herself of the life she left to make the legions safer for all charr. And if she has to slit a few throats to make that happen? Well. That's just what she'll have to do.

EHDNA (#alchemist ehdna)FULL NAME Ehdna of Dayn
ALIAS Overseer
AGE 49
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Donna Murphy
VERSES Tyria-404, Tyria-34
SHORT INTRO A ranked researcher and talented alchemist in one of the Inquest's top biomancy labs, Ehdna is a no nonsense woman who runs a tight ship in her subkrewe. Known to use her subordinates as test dummies for her work, she made sure to file all of the requisite paperwork every single time, and dozens of "wasteful" lackeys lost their lives to ensure her experiments wouldn't in the end kill her. As a result, her personal experimentation that turned her into an Amalgam had few violent side effects, though she does occasionally complain of migraines since completing her work. Ehdna is popular for her intellect but incredibly intimidating to those around her, despite her diminutive stature. She's even had a couple of contracts, one of which produced two progeny, though she has no contact with that previous partner or either of her children, as they all fled the Inquest and she lost track of their whereabouts. Nowadays, she's continuing her work, finding better ways to blend her genetic structure with that of the ferrous ooze she developed. Her subordinates continue to bear the brunt of her violent desire for progress, but she gets such stellar results that the Ethics Committee has yet to bat an eye at her. It's left her more or less free to her own devices, and that suits Ehdna just fine. After all, she has an ex to spring up and children to reclaim.

STUMPP (#archivist stumpp)FULL NAME Stumpp of Locc
ALIAS Archivist, Mouse
AGE 29
GENDER male (trans, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Patrick Stump
VERSES Tyria-404, Tyria-1070
SHORT INTRO Honestly it's a wonder Stumpp has survived the Inquest; he's such a soft hearted little guy that the fact he's stuck around so long is a testament to how smart (and therefore how useful) he really is. A brilliant mathematician with a keen mind for numbers and analytics, Stumpp was never the most popular of asura in any of his college classes. Known for being kind of a pushover, he often got bullied into handling all the work on group projects and despite being seen as a rising star in his field, his professors often pointed out he was a bit too timid to really make a dent in academia. After graduation, he pretty much got drafted by the Inquest, mostly as a result of his difficulty saying no even in situations that didn't necessarily benefit him. And since joining, he's managed to sort of fail his way upwards, all the way up to being an advisor to the current director. Being an actual genius does have its advantages, after all. Unfortunately for him, those advantages have consistently involved advancing ever further in an organization he's increasingly uncomfortable being involved with. Still, he's been desperately trying to find a way out, hoping to maybe one day to escape to Cantha and start a singing career. He's got a startlingly impressive voice, and when others hear him, they typically will stop to listen as long as he's going. He just has to get over his stage fright first.

TEALL (#agent teall)FULL NAME Teall of Larrs
ALIAS Agent
AGE 34
GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY straight
VOICE CLAIM undecided
VERSES Tyria-432
SHORT INTRO Perhaps someone should have seen early on that Teall may have been something of a problem. The second son of a molecular gastronomist named Cautti and her second partner, Larrs, he was told by his father from a very young age that he was always the better son compared to Cautti's first child, a somewhat meek boy named Vezz. And despite Cautti's attempts to keep things amicable between the two boys, Larrs nipped that in the bud after she ended their contract. As such, Teall grew up convinced Vezz was ruining his mother's life, and that bled into his professional career. First joining the Peacemakers, he very clearly became recognized as a bully with a badge... and his hatred of his older half brother came in handy from there, as when Vezz became commander alongside Rissia, Oaklinna, and Garrus, the council saw a purpose in him. He was promoted to the Arcane Eye and given a new task: he became the handler of a powerful, unstable elementalist named Pheebii, with the intent of using her to "take over" the commanders' roles should they become too much trouble. He treats Pheebii incredibly poorly, terrorizing her during her "training" while lovebombing her and treating her like his lover to keep her off balance. He's extremely disliked, even within the Arcane Eye, but he's Councilor Flax's pet project... so no one can really touch him.

ALIAS The Eradicator

SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM Hailee Steinfeld
VERSES Tyria-404, Tyria-1070
SHORT INTRO A dangerous liquidator, Tiiya and her twin sister Teyo had some inkling of power in the Inquest. She never really understood her sister's fascination with Zojja of all asura, but she always encouraged her attempts to win her over. In the end, though, when Teyo's actions got her killed by the commander, she became understandably enraged. Unable to attack the commander directly (in one case because he died on Claw Island and the other because the charr was too dangerous to get too close to), she focused her attention on making Zojja hurt instead for not returning her twin sister's affections. She decided the best way to do that? Was to kill Zojja's long time companion Leyya. And in one case, she did at least succeed in taking her eye. Since then, she's been pursuing the group, eventually wound up with the timid Stumpp as her handler. Though he tries to curb her more violent tendencies, it rarely works, and too often the poor guy wound up dragged along on her attempts on Leyya's life... at least until Stumpp got promoted again. That released her shackles, and she's redoubled her efforts to kill the Whispers agent. That's become much more difficult since Leyya's stationed in Rata Sum, but time has done little to quell Tiiya's thirst for vengeance. It's only a matter of time before she makes another attempt; she just needs the right angle.

PHEEBII (#apprentice pheebii)FULL NAME Pheebii of Kronn
ALIAS Apprentice, Experiment 74847
AGE 32
GENDER female (cis, she/her)
SEXUALITY demisexual/romantic
VOICE CLAIM undecided
VERSES Tyria-432
SHORT INTRO Calling Pheebii a "villain" is honestly a bit of a stretch. A nervous, uncertain young woman, her parents were loving but genuinely worried about her as she got older and her magic got stronger. After an accident in Soren Draa where she lost control entirely, accidentally killing several in the immediate area - including her parents, she was snatched up by the Arcane Council, who saw potential in the volatile elementalist. Flax saw her as an excellent opportunity to overtake the commanders should they become too much of a problem, and so she was given over to his pet project in the Arcane Eye: Teall. Officially a member of the Inquest, she has been subjected to rigorous, tortuous "training" under Teall's control, but with nowhere else she can really go, she hasn't bothered to try to escape. Meanwhile Teall alternates between violence and lovebombing, keeping her constantly off kilter as she tries to figure out why her magic is so unstable. And when Teall isn't there, she tends to her own devices: gardening and writing. As she begins to gain more control over her magic, however, she also has been gaining confidence. It's only a matter of time before she realizes Teall has no real defense and his only real power over her is his rank and orders, neither of which can stop any raging element. And when that day comes, he'll never know what hit him.

LHUMMOT (#lhummot)FULL NAME Lhummot

SEXUALITY bisexual
VOICE CLAIM Patrick Page
VERSES Tyria-404
SHORT INTRO A deeply mysterious but incredibly powerful figure within the Inquest, known by very few as the director prior to Vloxx, very little is known about Lhummot. A college acquaintance of Councilor Flax, he's ambitious and intense, his brilliance only outshone by his cruelty. Of course, that doesn't mean he has no attachments in his life. He had a whirlwind romance in Lion's Arch over two decades ago, and even now thinks of the woman and her vicious ambition. Of course, that's often tinted by anger, considering she kept their daughter hidden from him for years, something he did his best to rectify on discovering her location. All that being said, most members of the Inquest who are familiar with him are utterly terrified of him. He oversees the organization with an iron fist and has consistently endorsed the policy of leaving the Inquest ending in a body bag. He personally signed off on Prikk's genetic research and frequently dropped by the lab to see the progress he was making with Project Genesis, even if he wasn't terribly fond of his later apprentice, the unstable young man named Sebb. Currently, he hasn't been seen since the events around Rata Primus in Sandswept Isles, an understandable situation considering everything that happened with regards to Palawa Joko. It's generally uncertain if he's dead or just missing.

VOICE CLAIM Eva Noblezada
VERSES all
SHORT INTRO The overseer of a small, mostly ignored lab out in Brisban Wildlands, Khialli's position is one of punishment instead of prestige. After the destruction of the Thaumanova Reactor facility while she was overseer there, the Inquest Ethics Committee dubbed her too valuable to kill or demote... or at least that's what she's always been told. As far as she's concerned, she was used as a scapegoat, blamed internally for Scarlet's actions while the council was told of "a negligent overseer who has since been taken care of." Furious, she's been trying to make the best of where she is, but so far she's not seen much progress. Even worse, it's not like she ever really wanted to be part of the Inquest. In the aftermath of her grandmother's death and the disappearance of her childhood sweetheart, she was approached by the director's assistance, and now she's in the position she is. And now there's a new wrench in the works: her old college sweetheart Pyjax, looking for answers regarding the death of his grandmother... something that brings too many new tangles to Khialli's life, including the mystery of her biological parents, why she has been protected so significantly in the Inquest, and whether or not her old flame with Pyjax could possibly be rekindled. Not that Khialli thinks she deserves that kind of happiness now. She's just along for the ride.

AGIITHA (#agiitha)FULL NAME Agiitha

VOICE CLAIM undecided
VERSES all
SHORT INTRO Best described as something of a PR director, Agiitha is Councilor Yahk's personal assistant and surprisingly sharp witted. Known by the other councilors for being dry and acting incredibly bored when regarding many of their ideas. Despite the rumors, however, she's actually quite pleasant... around people she likes. Not that there are many people who fall into that category outside of her cousin Ehdna and AR Director Miyya, but the fact remains the same. When it came to Yahk's attention that Zojja was making a run for a recently vacated council seat, she threw herself into finding any dirt on her that could possibly be used to turn public opinion against her. Her ploy failed, but that doesn't mean she's made it easy for her since then, even going so far as to suggest to Yahk interfering in Leyya's attempt to take in her baby sister Chuui. She was a favorite of Director Lhummot, though she isn't particularly fond of Vloxx and his methodology. She finds him too soft, and his handling of the Inquest something of an affront to its storied history of asuran supremacy and knowledge and progress at any possible cost. She would have preferred Kuda in that role, but the young woman's missteps in Elona cost her that role... at least for the time being. She's watching the news feeds for any mentions of goings on in Castora closely. Her job could depend on the outcome.

VOICE CLAIM Vivian Nixon
VERSES Tyria-432
SHORT INTRO Spunky, energetic, violent, and honestly pretty competent, Zhinnia was originally from a tiny little hamlet at the far north of Metrica, joining the Inquest before the Thaumanova disaster, and thankfully her family was evacuated in the early hours, so no one died. "Just a misstep," she liked to say when asked. And she enjoyed her job in the Inquest! She got to be pointed in a direction to absolutely wreck someone when they became inconvenient. She got temporarily (or it was supposed to be temporary at the time) demoted after she failed to kill Leyya at Teyo's request, largely helped by the fact that Teyo got herself killed by Vezz before she could finish, nullifying the contract. Since she had still TECHNICALLY failed, she had to be punished somehow! Unfortunately for the Liquidators, it turns out she really liked the little krewe she got stuck with. She got attached and made the decision to stay with them full time, especially since having someone actually competent helped them look at least a little more legitimate. She and her companions largely do work to undermine and mess with inventors who "get in the way" of more notable researchers. Problem is, they're really bad at their jobs. In the team's benefit, they are really good at being a nuisance, and as they don't really cause issues for the rest of the organization, they're mostly left alone

VERSES Tyria-404
SHORT INTRO A genius biomancer with vanishingly few peers and no real equal, Prikk was - for many years - the overseer of Helix Biomagitech. He graduated top of his class and genius first grade from the College of Iatrics in the since destroyed city of Rata Thauma with a primary focus in genetic engineering. His magnum opus had always been to create the perfect asura... and then replicate the results to create an army of made to order super soldiers, loyal to the Inquest. Though he was never able to perfect the process, he did manage to create one "perfect" creation: the boy who would become commander, Rhenn. His experiments on the child were brutal and tireless, leaving Rhenn with no understanding of a normal childhood. To him, the boy was an object. A thing to perfect, replicate, use, and discard. In the end, his hubris doomed him. After his creation began to pull away from him, he pursued the group to Elona, where he made a deal with the devil: Palawa Joko. He just didn't understand what it would entail. Killed and Awakened along with his entourage. It was here that Rhenn finally faced down his creator and, with the newfound knowledge of his own origins, put the man in the dirt permanently, smashing his head to a fine pulp with his hammer until he had to be restrained. He left a horrific legacy in his wake, but his research may not be as dead as its progenitor...

NIXXE (#nixxe)FULL NAME Nixxe

VERSES Tyria-404
SHORT INTRO A once greatly respected inspector on the infamous Inquest Ethics Committee, Nixxe was an analytical mind like no other. Highly intelligent with a keen intellect, she was talented at finding patterns in datasets and rooting out inconsistencies, discrepancies, and inefficient use of resources with significant ease. As such, she was one of Miyya's best inspectors for years, ranked quite highly in the subkrewe's hierarchy. That upward trajectory may have continued, as well, had it not been for a chance meeting early in her career with the (eventual) overseer of the genetics lab Applied Maginetics, Prikk. They had one daughter together initially, Rhiia, and it was as the girl grew that Nixxe began to become disillusioned with the organization as a whole, seeing too late the pain of their real work. Once Rhiia was fifteen, she urged her to run away. Unfortunately, a few years after the "birth" of her and Prikk's son Rhenn - created in a test tube using a dubiously acquired sample of genetic material on Nixxe's part - she made her first moves towards escaping. Her intention had been to take Rhenn and meet up with Rhiia outside the Inquest, find somewhere safe to raise the boy. In the meantime, she'd at least tried to raise him as well as she could. When the time came for her to make her move, however... that was when Nixxe disappeared.

ZOJJAFULL NAME Zojja

SEXUALITY lesbian
TYRIA-432 In Tyria-432, Zojja spends some time post-Maguuma living in Lion's Arch at the home attached to Odetta's soap shop along with Leyya. It's not until right before the start of End of Dragons, on finding letters written between Snaff and a mysterious asura named Uenno, that she leaves to seek out answers. She spends a little over a year with the wizards and nearly ascends, but decides to return home. After spending some time back in Lion's Arch and then later in Cantha while Leyya recovered, the pair returned to Rata Sum. She's since been elected to the Arcane Council.
OTHER TYRIAS In all other Tyrias, she does not go to the wizards at all, instead returning to Rata Sum with Leyya to recover before being elected to the Arcane Council in order to assist through the rest of the story. How she recovers varies (Rhenn makes sure Kippa treats her injuries before sending her to a private clinic run by one of Kippa's old classmates, Praxxi has her sent to the clinic her son works at, Menelaus visits constantly, she doesn't wind up in the blighting pod in Rosie's verse, etc), but she never even meets the wizards in any other verse.

SEXUALITY bisexual
TYRIA-432 Though the injuries she took were significant and very nearly killed her, leading to her to spend months fighting for her life while comatose, Eir managed to survive her injuries in the end... though word of her recovery didn't reach her son until it was far too late. She frequently visited Zojja and Leyya in Lion's Arch after completing her prosthetic leg, a hand carved masterpiece of wood and stone with reliefs of fallen comrades: Snaff. Logan. Later on, Trahearne. She returns to working as a sculptor in Hoelbrak and advises Knut Whitebear as the story progresses. When the Tyrian Alliance is formed, she travels to Lion's Arch with her son and Skarti to support her old friends and the commanders. She's since helped carve a new prosthesis for Vezz for his journey with Rissia into Castora.
TYRIA-2007 While she does still die in this setting, as in any other, it's different here: she dies in a blighting pod while Rosie and Ginny are trying to reach her and Zojja and Leyya are managing logistics at a Pact forward camp. Braham is with the girls when they reach her.

LOGANFULL NAME Logan Thackeray

GENDER male (cis, he/him)
SEXUALITY bisexual
TYRIA-432 Logan is largely true to canon until Arah, where - instead of rejoining the Pact fleet after Zhaitan's fall - it's revealed he apparently lost his life in the effort to ensure the airships were able to escape. While everyone grieves his loss, they are unaware of the truth: he was found by a member of the Astral Ward embedded in the newly formed Pact and taken back to the Horn of Maguuma to recover, where he's been ever since. He helps guide Zojja when she finally arrives, though when she chooses to return home to Tyria, he chooses to stay with the wizards.
TYRIA-404 Canon until Heart of Thorns, where he dies before Rhenn can reach him in his Blighting Pod.
TYRIA-2007 Stricken by guilt and grief after his actions seemed to result in the loss of Snaff and Glint, Logan leaves the Seraph to become a mercenary scout once more. It's this that leads him after a dire plot involving the murder of one of his former Seraph cohorts, with the clues pointing to a former pirate, Tiran Tidefolly. His involvement leads Rosie and Ginny into the role of commander. He returns to the Seraph after Heart of Thorns.
TYRIA-701 Similar to Tyria-432, he's believed to have died in Arah but later is rediscovered with the wizards, now fully aware of Ollyne's past with the Astral Ward. Due to their previous intimate relationship, it causes significant strain.

Replacing Zojja in that setting specifically, he's still very vague about his origins, though he does imply to them that the tree he came from is no longer a concern since Mordremoth's fall. He and Narcisse seem to have some history together, though any issues they had with one another appears to now be water under the bridge. He finds Rosie and Ginny very interesting.
