commander
Trahearne
Sylvari
"Someday, we will eliminate the Elder Dragons. Only then will Tyria be safe." Trahearne is the first sylvari to emerge from the boughs of the Pale Tree, born in the Cycle of Dusk. He set out for Orr with a Wyld Hunt to cleanse the risen land of its corruption by Zhaitan, eventually establishing the alliance of the three Orders of Tyria and becoming the first Pact Marshal.
Nika
Human
"I will never stop protecting Cantha, even in death." Nika is a veteran assassin trained at Shing Jea Monastery. She is also a member of Cantha's elite assassin’s guild—Obsidian Flame. She was one of the heroes who helped defeat Shiro Tagachi.
Knut Whitebear
Norn
"One day, we’ll return to our ancestral lands and kick Jormag out of our homes." Knut Whitebear is an elder of the norn and the steward of Hoelbrak. Although true "leadership" among the norn can be rather vague, most regard him as the leader of their people. During the forced migration of the norn, Knut's grandfather was the hero who rended a fang from the Elder Dragon Jormag.
Smodur the Unflinching
Charr
"The right war machine’s worth fifty bodies any day." A direct descendant of the original Khan-Ur, Smodur is the imperator of the Iron Legion. Rumors say he gouged out his own eye to intimidate his opponents and thus earned the name "the Unflinching."
Countess Anise
"I must go to unconventional lengths to protect Kryta. And the queen." Countess Anise is the Master Exemplar of the Shining Blade, the queen’s royal guards. Besides Queen Jennah, she is known as one of the most powerful mesmers in Kryta. However, little else is known about her.
Shiro Tagachi
"Weaklings, I have returned. Fear my power!" Shiro Tagachi is a powerful assassin who was misled by a demon of Abaddon disguised as a fortune teller to betray and murder Cantha’s Emperor Angsiyan. Corrupted by his rage and dark deeds, he commands an army of Shiro'ken seeking vengeance. He was ultimately defeated by mortal heroes at the Temple of the Six Gods. The fate of his soul is currently unknown.
