Q:

Did Koss have any children after the fall of Abbadon?
Did he ‘marry’ Melonni, or run off with his Corsair ‘associate’?
There really isn’t much more said on Koss, other than a back peice item called “Koss on Koss”.
Please my Lore Gurus, enlighten me?
And thank you in advance

I have Splinter Barrage- I am a Ritualist.
I have a pet- I am a Ranger.
I have Avatar of Balthazar- I am a Dervish.

A:

Which really only extends so far as to show that “Koss on Koss” in Tyria is not a book written by Koss about his five sons named Koss, Koss, Koss, Koss, and Koss, but an autobiographical book by Koss, and aside from writing this book only confirms he married Melonni.

Yeah, that text is completely new and different than what I wrote so many years ago…

The funny thing is that both versions seem completely viable for Koss.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

the book “Koss on Koss” is also in the Hidden Arcana S2 mission but the only extra info it had (thats related to this post) was that Koss did marry Melonni

The next GW: Beyond episode was supposed to feature Koss and his relationship with Melonni (à la Hearts of the North with Keiran and Gwen) but it got cancelled because GW2.
I like to think that his descent is at the head of the Sunspears, fighting off the evil Palawa Joko, the Scourge of Elona. I guess we’ll know once we get to that continent…

You might want to go further down the familytree here. There are 250 years between GW1 and GW2, so if they are not immortal or traveled through time/mist, they are pretty old.
Like, this is Koss jr jr jr jr….

“This autobiography focuses mostly on the events surrounding the Ascension of Kormir in 1075 AE. I am Koss Dejarin, and I gave up a lot for the Sunspears. I lost promotions, a father, a sister, friends, and my home to fight for the organization. I became known as the bane of corsairs and demons. I fought for my country and my spearmarshal. Holy goddess Lyssa gave me Kormir and Melonni. One of the two I married. The other, I pray to. I love them both with all my being. I risked my life many times for Kormir, but she got what every great warrior deserves. She died courageously.”

Along with this, at the end of Nightfall plays a cinematic during which we see Koss and Melonni on a farm. Looks like they settled down, married, and lived on a farm – likely the Dejarin Estate.

The next GW: Beyond episode was supposed to feature Koss and his relationship with Melonni (à la Hearts of the North with Keiran and Gwen) but it got cancelled because GW2.

The Elona arc was going to focus on Palawa Joko’s return to power, according to what’s on the wiki. Beyond that, I know there was plans for a third mesmer hero to be added and hints that Forgotten might’ve been involved but that’s all we were really told.

And I’ve always thought it would include be build up for Glint’s death that happened in EoD (explaining her mention of heroes returning to kill her after they found out about the Elder Dragons and before they realized she was on her side, and explaining why there were no Forgotten).

Koss and Melonni star in the Elonian remake of “Little House on the Prairie.”

I would watch that show.

We used to joke internally that Koss married Melonni and they had a big family, but I don’t believe we’ve ever stated this in the game or anywhere else. When we were prototyping some ideas for GW2 back in 2008, I wrote a joke book called “Koss on Koss” where he dedicates it to his five sons, Koss, Koss, Koss, Koss, and Koss. I think Linsey turned it into a back item.

That stated, if it’s not in the game it’s not canon! Feel free to RP, though.

I feel a great disturbance in the lore, as if numerous out of game lore articles and interviews cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has just happened.

Nah. That’s just me putting an asterisk on my “behind the scenes” comment. I don’t believe we’ve ever explored what happened to Koss after Nightfall. If we ever decide to do something, I want people to understand that the final outcome might be different from what I said here. Just setting expectations is all.

Personally, I’d love see some exploration in that direction. Even if it only takes the form of books in the Priory stuffed with exposition. I was gutted when the Elona portion of Guild Wars: Beyond ended up never happening. It would just be nice to finally find out what became of all our old friends.

You did, but only very minutely.

Which really only extends so far as to show that “Koss on Koss” in Tyria is not a book written by Koss about his five sons named Koss, Koss, Koss, Koss, and Koss, but an autobiographical book by Koss, and aside from writing this book only confirms he married Melonni.

Unless Koss married Kormir after Nightfall and prays to Melonni?

I wouldn’t put it past him. It’s the afro, I’m sure.
