My favorite henchman is Aeson because how he manages to live with his disability and turn it into an advantage, also how he gets accepted by his clan.

Wow you people can't read.

This is based on Lore and background, not their abilities in game.

My favourite is Seaguard Eli. He has the best quotes for whatever he is doing. Also, I wish I could get his armor, hood FTW!

Lukas - He talks the talk, and grudgingly I'll admit he walks the walk... for a henchman. Usually one of the last men standing. I like his affection for Danika, but he seems too chipper for a Kurzick sometimes.

Devona because she goes back to the roots of the game and has great Family history.She also respected King Doric as well as King of Ascalon (can't remeber name).She is usually the last to die if and does great jop with her hammer.I liked her in openning movie in Prophecies she was great.Devona is very cool headed unlike Cynn.I am surprised no one mentioned her yet.

Lorewise: yeah, Little Thom. A soldier for hire, scots-speaking drunkard, and deserter who faked his own death to get out of the Ascalon army *and* he dreams of settling down and becoming a fisherman.

I don't think any of the other henchmen have as colorful or varied backstory. The closest is Orion - an upper-class leftist revolutionary working for the downfall of the monarchy, turned vengeful charr-killer when his love interest dies in the Searing.

Devona creeps me out a bit. The Electra complex and lack of humour...you can expect a breakdown at some point. For example: What would happen if she found out she had a brother or sister from a different mother? Would she finally stop placing the dead guy on a pedestal for once?

Tough she is cute in the intro when she almost has her pretty head removed and goes AAAIII!!! :P

Erys is upper aristocracy in an ancient family of elite military tacticians and warriors. Aside from the fact that he interrupts assassin attack skills, the two Vasburgs are some of the coolest Canthan guys around.

Eve FTW!

Either that or any of the Mesmers or Protectors who reduce damage done to me ... but mostly Eve.


[Edit]:
And cause I just read that this is apparently 'based on lore', I'll go with .... Eve.

Or Little Thom, because, as stated, he's a scene.

I can't believe nobody has given a single nod to Mhenlo the lady's man.

He had his way with TWINS for heaven's sake!

He was in Prophecies... and as the thread didn't specify Factions, he indeed was a hench as some point

Mhenlo the playah...

Ah come one guys there were only 5 women fighting after him Cynn Jamei Emi Cho and Danika. No wonder he ran off to Ascalon. Makes you wonder how many Canthan fathers were after his hide. However you have to admire the Jealous streak of Cynn from ground zero in Factions.

I think Mhenlo+Cynn are in a relationship - as Jamei makes a snide comment at Cynn calling her 'Mhenlos little girlfriend'

As anyone who played through Prophecies would tell you, they are very much an item. Cynn getting pissed outside of Yaks when Mhenlo goes AWOL comes to mind.

Oh and wasn't Orion a rival with Vassar for Ralena's (ele tutor) affections ? I'll have to go through pre-sear again to check that.

Man, that guy interupts like crazy, saved me and my hench party so many times from impossible caster bosses.

Uh, considering Emi and Chiyo were very much CHILDREN last time he saw them (he says so himself), I don't think so. I generally tend to think Mhenlo's... ah... conquests are slightly exaggerated, because if all the ages are correct, he'd have been only seventeen when he left Cantha again.

My favorite henchie is Cynn. I love the attitude and I adore it when she bitches at people. I will cry if she doesn't appear in Nightfall, I really will.

Eve is a hottie for sure but she gets a lot of aggro and tend to die a lot.

My favorite has to be Kurzick domination hench.

I wonder if there will be Canthan henchies traveling to Elonia...
That the Menlo squad will be there is pretty much a given.
Or maybe someone else of the team will be the central character now?
