… unknown obviously, but like others I have a theory. Nothing is hard evidence and it’s all speculation from the game.
I think E stands for the name of secretive group of Master Mesmers.
Their name could be anything obviously, but! if you you rotate an E 90 degrees it looks kind of like an M! Mesmer order confirmed! Seriously though, here’s some better evidence:
Kasmeer (a member of the secretive mesmer order) is the first one in game (that I can recall) to reference E as Mister E. Obviously anyone could come to the conclusion that you can make a pun out of a guy named E, but it raises suspicion that Kasmeer is the first one to identify the pun, almost like she knew about it when she learns the players knows of E (Suspicious).
Marjory is “thought” (cuz Mesmers) to have had a person to person interaction with E where she did not see the person who was talking to her. It’s noted that the person was a male (male Mesmer’s in the group?/or Kasmeer perhaps messing with her mind and later planting herself with Marjory?) and that the person had no Necromantic power (obviously a Mesmer then! CONFIRMED!!!!!!)
During Dragon Bash E advises the player about whispers of a threat to a Ship Counciler. Now there’s lots of ways to obtain information, but my speculation would be that being a part of a group of Mesmers might make it so you don’t even have to hear whispers. Just invade someone’s mind
. That’s all speculation there obviously, but the important thing about this is E’s line “I’d intervene myself, but circumstances prevent it.” This isn’t important now, but it’s interesting when we think about Countess Anise shortly. E later asks you to meet up with Marjory who is supposed to be a capable investigator, in order to kitten the situation after the Aetherblade attack.
It’s a trend that E rarely if ever intervenes in all of “his” references. Supposedly Countess Anise is contacted by E advising that the queen’s reputation is at risk due to rumors of conspiring with Scarlet. Interestingly Countess Anise doesn’t want to directly intervene in clearing the queen’s name, so she get’s the player to intervene (exactly what E would do!).
Interestingly Countess Anise feels Canach is rather capable, and has him do work for her (the mesmers) as well. So it seems interesting that Canach is shown joining with the player character’s group in the latest Heart of Thorns trailor. Almost like when when they find capable people E wants to band them together, and maybe Kasmeer is a piece of that glue from E to help keep the group unified (among other reasons, cough Marjory cough).
Who knows, but it’s fun to think about
