Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone, I recently turned lvl 28 and I’m doing the Ever Vigilant quest for the Vigil, in which I have to kill Howl. For background purposes, I’m Iron Legion and my sparring partner is Clawspur.
Now the thing is, before I got this quest I was listening to the kinematics for joining the Vigil and I remember my charr telling Clawspur that he was going to lead the warband now and that he was going to stay in the Citadel, now, I get this quest and he’s in there with me. Why?

Second question.

I haven’t seen my entire warband in like 4 quests, where did they go?

You’ll never see your Warband again. You can see them in your home instance but can’t talk to them or any other character there for some reason. Yea it’s kinda annoying how there’s the whole buildup about how a Charr’s Warband is everything and it only matters for such a tiny portion of the game before you brush it off to never see the characters again.
