Favourite hench?

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.

Claude, this guy is so crazy he would Br you to death.

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.

Lore wise,i'll definitely go with panaku.....I simply just like his attitude.....The man got it all....A dark past,white eyes,humble attitude in the end,black canthan set (he has got to be bloody rich)...how honorable.....

Talon,love it,soldier in the Tengu wars,defeated by a canthan general and spared,became good friends despite being hated and shunned by everyone,and to this day a mighty warrior and teacher at shing jea,thats a very nice story.

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.

Little Thom, because he's a raging drunk.

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

Cynn - bratty hothead that likes to die alot

(I usually dont take her as a henchie but she does amuse me)

Yeah cynn is good for laughs,herd her in echovald forest "These trees just wont burn,trust me,i tried."

Just pray you will never have to hear her voice!

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.

I like Cynn best for NPC interaction

thats part of lore ..

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.

Cynn is fun at lions arch

"Cynn we only just arrived in Kryta,please dont get us thrown out already."

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!

Speedy...

...Mhenlo is not a henchman.

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