Guild Wars 2

Sadly, I dragged my PS out too long so I lost overview. I went through the chatlogs on the wiki but I just cannot find the event/line that explains why Trahearne chose me as the second in command, even though I remember that it made sense to me back then.

If someone please could remind me why I was a sensible choice, I’d be obliged.

You’re not the Pact commander— I am. Back in the ranks, soldier.

But, in seriousness, I would say you got the job for your instrumental role in taking back Claw Island. You were also, along with Trahearne, one of the two people to witness the Pale Tree’s vision of Orr, and were more or less appointed by the Pale Tree for special tasks in Orr. (Trahearne to cleanse the land, and you to slay Zhaitan.)

Avatar of the Tree: To know the future, even a mere possibility, can be a great burden. I am sorry, brave heroes, that you must walk this path.
Trahearne: Must these things come to pass, Mother? Must I take up Caladbolg and travel into the heart of Orr?
Avatar of the Tree: You must both take up this mantle. Trahearne, your duty is to cleanse Orr. Your friend shall aid you…and then face the dragon.
