So, now we know that Lazarus is not truly Lazarus. So, who is powerful enough to be such a pretender? Personally I’d say it could be a seer. A powerful creature that knows enough about Mursaat to pose as one of them. Also, a seer could be interested in aiding the 5 races of Tyria like in GW1 a seer helped humans.

Gleam.

Why keep his identity hidden? Lazarus seems like a bad pick to gain access to Aurence – the last surviving racial enemy of Glint and her legacy, someone relatively unknown to everyone else but mostly thought to be from a villainous and untrustworthy race.

Think about it. No-one alive really knows Lazarus, if they’ve heard of him at all. But they do think the mursaat are the boogeymen and they know the mursaat don’t like Glint. If you want to protect Glint’s child, why pose as her racial enemy? Why not pretend to be a powerful Dwarf, or Zephyrite or even a seer?

Why would Gleam interfere with Caudecus in Bloodstone Fen (the first appearance of the false Lazarus, if that was the false one and not the real one)?

I think it is ‘E’ for just a couple of reasons. He knows about Caudecus(?) who was apart of the White Mantle. My guess was he himself was apart of the White Mantle but only for terms of being a spy.. perhaps as apart of the Order of Whispers or on his own.

I mean, remember when he helped defend Aurene and Marjory came saying how he seemed ‘familiar’ and wanted to stick by him? Because she met him before.. when he was behind her during her investigation of the murdered young boy.

I think Marjory is familiar because she just sensed his ‘aura’ so to speak, being a Necromancer and all.

What confuses me is how can such a person absorb the power of a Bloodstone.. is it some sort of ancestor of a powerful hero long past? Is there any lore speculated about people who can absorb vast amounts of power? Perhaps from GW1?

My thoughts was that it is ‘E’ and he is hiding as a False Lazarus so to direct what White Mantle following him against the Elder Dragons and perhaps make them more of an ally to Tyria rather than an enemy. What’s causing the White Mantle to put a bad name for themselves is Caudacus, thus he wants him dead.

Gleam is Glint’s offspring. Glint has access to the forgotten and the order of the dragon. Glint is also prophetic and has a bit of a history with the Mursaat.

Gleam needed to hide. Primordus made an attempt on his life back in GW1. The OotD or the forgotten may have stepped in and provided cover for him to hide him. Maybe glint knew that if they hid Gleam as Lazarus, the white mantle would blow up a bloodstone to retrieve him. The Lazarus at bloodstone fen was fake lazarus, the switch had been made before that incident. The question is, where did the White Mantle find the body?

What if in a plot twist he reveals him self to be Saul D’Alessio and that the Mursaat been keeping him alive all these centuries, using that magical infused water in the raid area, in a eternal torment within that new Raid zone until he finally escaped from there and eventually took up Lazarus Identity so he can guide the White Mantle into being the forces of good he wanted them to be instead of a tool of death that the Mursaat turned them into after betraying and using him before GW1.

and if players reach the end of the new raid they get some “hints” that it is Saul D’Alessio as a special sneak peak into his identity just like the Wing 3 of the Raid involving Lazarus

We haven’t been hearing or seen from Kas for many chapters now, except she’s back in Kryta and trying to get her noble title back.

I believe it might be Kasmeer since she’s a mesmer and as for those who remember in Kessex Hills, during the Tower, she said similar like this,
’’I have no clothes, this is just an illusion and that’s why I have no dirt on my dress'’.

Soooo..... why couldn’t she set up an illusion on herself a disguise as Lazarus?
And why did Marjory willingly(?) teamed-up and followed Lazarus..

Think about it!!

Lots of people could pull off the disguise, but who can absorb all that bloodstone energy? It’s a pretty short list, if we stick to the people we already know.

Personally, I think it really IS Lazarus. Or, rather, 80% of him. The attempt to reform him worked, but part of him is missing. That would explain why he’s as powerful as he is, and yet acting much different than people expected him to. Maybe it’s even been replaced with something else, something that mellowed him out some.

This. It would also explain why he is acting like a good guy of a sudden. Maybe the switched artifact contained some human soul and Lazarus gained “humanity” from it (or even its personality).
If Lazarus the Dire is the same one from GW1, one of his aspects was already damaged/destroed years ago. And still he survived all that time. So obviously mursaat can live (barely) without one of aspects. Maybe he also can live a full life with someones soul replacing on of his aspects.
And technically Caudecus is right that way: Lazarus is not the true mursaat. He is a mursahuman, or mursanorn, or mursacat (whatever was in that artifact). Hey, maybe he is mursaRurik and we can see his death one more time.

Everyone hates/distrusts mursaat, even in White Mantle only minority is still faithful to them, while majority just following Caudecus promises of power.

Its just as unlikely that this fake Laz is actually Laz. Because I think it was established that it needed all of the 5 artefacts for Laz to resurrect. Would make no sense to tell us that and then say oh it was Laz but not all of him. No sense. Sad.

About the explosions, there are powerful artefacts in Tyria that would surely be able to absorb the explosion. And it wasnt really absorbed as we saw in the cinematic of bloodstone fen. Huuge esplosion.

There are two things that I’m thinking:

1. The PC is wrong and Lazarus isn’t an imposter, he’s just an ‘incomplete’ Lazarus. They resurrected Lazarus but without the emotional attachments to his past, which is why he’s had a change of heart.

2. Elona leaks are legit and it’s Palaswag Yolo.

While I can share the sentiment, I really think Khilbron is 100% dead, I mean, we encountered him in the realm of torment. Joko was only sealed, and Lazarus was broken in spirit and form, but not in soul. Khilbron was broken completely, he died, and went to the realm of torment for his eternal punishment. Without an outside source of almost divine power, I don’t think you can leave the realm of torment that easily. like maybe an envoy could’ve released his spirit back into the world, but then Khilbron wouldn’t have had a physical form, and unlike Shiro he wouldn’t have had the necessary magic for rebirth. Long story short, without some retconning on the lore, I don’t think Khilbron is a viable option

More that it was established that Caudecus and Xera believed that it would take all five pieces.

As has already been pointed out, Lazarus incarnated in GW1 without having all of his pieces – it’s entirely possible that Lazarus can be reborn with just four pieces, and Caudecus was just wrong. The interesting question is what effect the missing piece has, and whether the substitute has any influence or whether it’s purely the lack of a piece.

No, no, Lazarus can’t just turn into a good guy. I’ve already expected something was not right, and at first I just thought he’s toying with us. But now that he doesn’t seem to be lazarus at all, it would make total sense.

It’s totally possible that someone is strong enough. Look at jennah’s mesmer abilities, those are pretty sick, not to mention, she is said to have summoned an entire army of illusions once.

It’s clear that the person posing as lazarus doesn’t want to be recognized. But for me. the question would be, why pretend to be lazarus? What good would it do to pose as someone who has been one of the biggest threads to the human race?

Livia hasn’t been mentioned yet? Although since the beginning of gw2 i’ve been suspecting that jennah’s cat is more then just a cat, and had the quiet hunch that shadow the cat is actually livia. So I would rule out livia as lazarus
