Guild Wars 2

Ok, so as we approach the release of Heart of Thorns, I read lots of threads about what will happen and who’ll be there. But I keep thinking about the Mysterious Stranger we saw lurking around during last pieces of the living story.

Who is this, and what is his relevance to the story? Why is he watching over us from high above? Is he a descendant of the White Mantle? Is he working for the Mursaat? Is he Saul D’Alessio?

What are your thoughts on this stranger, and why doesn’t he have a page on the wiki?

He is mentioned here but doesn’t have his own page.

I’ve never noticed that stranger before, but it could be that mysterious person, called " E", that interacts with certain characters during Living World Season 1 and 2 and seems to know a lot about what’s going on.

I thought he was a centaur and was only mysterious until we found the camp of friendly centaurs?

Donari, the one you’re thinking of is a different NPC.

The OP is referring to this human NPC who you can spot in the background during the LW Season 2 mission “Tracking the Aspect Masters” as he’s watching the player character’s progress from a ledge in the cave. During the release of the episode, there were many speculations on the forum who this person might’ve been, including this thread where the linked screenshot is from.

I still think E might be Magister Ela Makkay for reasons I’ve posted earlier. As for who this Mysterious Stranger might be, we have too little information to really say one thing or another. Whether he’s related to the “New Kryta” (aka bandits working for the White Mantle) hiding deeper in the Heart of Maguuma as hinted by the items scattered in the Silverwastes or if he’s part of something else remains to be seen. Both the identity of E and this Mysterious Stranger are actually some of the plot threads I look forward to experiencing in Heart of Thorns.

Oh interesting. He looks like Wild-Eyed Miller, probably because there is only one full beard available.

He is Mr. E

I’m just going to leave this here

Maybe he the human form of the dragon

We’ve never seen dragons take on human forms in GW though.

Have any of our jump masters gotten up there to chat with him yet? I made a few attempts but had no luck.

Hmm I’ve got a pocketful of Experimental Teleportation Guns, I might give it a go later I can’t remember exactly where he is though.

“E” is obviously Elminster, keeping an eye on the Bhaalspawn

Now who is our Volo? Maybe the guy from Tyrian Explorer’s Guild that keeps writing you when you do map completion.

Helped out a guildie in this mission. Saw him and remembered him, figured I’d hop up there and check him out. I’ve got a screenshot of him submitted to the wiki, I’ll include that below.

As for dialogue, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all he’s got is the one sided conversation lines.
Mysterious Stranger:
“I like it here.”
“You seem friendly.”
“Are you well?”
“Greetings.”
“Did you need something?”

As for the similarities to the Wild-Eyed Miller model. They seem to be the same models, the rest is all up to y’all.

I’m just a jumper.
