Guild Wars 2

So started a charr warrior in the blood legion who has a gladium for a father and named him Valius Razorclaw after reading the wiki and trying to come up with a “roman” sounding first name.

Got up to personal story where my father goes AWOL and what do I find out his name is? Vallus Smokemane.

Lol Valius-Vallus… If only my surname matched somehow. Maybe I’ll restart my character now and name him Razormane, or Smokeclaw… :p Razorsmoke?

I don’t know very much about charr lore, but i was a bit surprised too when i did that part of the story. However, i think it kinda makes sense that if a charr’s father is an honorless gladium, the charr would change his own name, or as a cub not be named after his father at all.
But if you do want to change your name, i think an item can be bought for gem that lets you change it.:)
