Obviously named after him. Charehli means "all-knowing"

I believe it's in his honor. I know several other people who have had their names immortalized in-game on NPCs, heck I even know of two guilds who had areas named after them. ANet is kind to the people who have huge positive influences to their game.

unless a forumite's name is 'Charehli', this means nothing. Ensign is a common low rank in many armed forces historically.....it's sorta like 'Mr.'.

If I find a boss named 'Mr. whatever', it doesn't mean it's a nod to my dad who's never heard of this game.

Ensign posts in some places under Charles Ensign....Charehli said phonetically is....Charlie. So maybe there is a correlation, maybe not. Why people are trashing the OP for posting it I have no clue, if you don't care, or don't know, why give him a hard time?

On this tour, I also saw 'Luluh .....' which could refer to Luluh the Monk, now hired by ANet.
And also saw a quest about a 'Saevio ........' which could refer to our Savio.


But if that last name does indeed mean all-knowing, it is neat.

BTW: CxE doesn't need a monster to make him famous:P

However, there IS an Ensign Lumi boss, which is most definitely a) named after Ensign and b) a pretty clever but sick in-joke by A.Net devs.

That's the in-joke. iQ and EP had a pretty big lack of respect for each other.

Thank you. I was amazed some people completely missed the connection. I avoided posting to see exactly how long it took ^_^. Anyways, it's no big deal. It's just something peculiar. Something that could be coincidental or quite deliberate. Either way, I thought it interesting enough to post. However interested people may be in it or not.
Whether or not I need a nappy change is none of your business. However, why waste your time posting nothing of value in a simple, light hearted thread? Oh that's right. it's the 'internet'.

Have a good day ^_^.

Theres another one named Ensign Lumi. I cannot remember where it was, but I'm only level 7, so its pretty early in the game.

The custodian reference is pretty far fetched imho.

Creative on 'jeahr' though. It really seems an alphatester thing.

If you read above and look at the other bosses mentioned, and look at what they've done in the past e.g. amazon basin and zealots of shiverpeak -> amatz basin, zos shivros channel, as well as the prophecies collectors named after a couple of beta testers, theres quite a large chance..

Heck, they named a whole profession after my oldest character, Dervish Carbray.
The whole "Sufi Muslim ascetic order" story is just cover ;P

Seriously, though, I find this intriguing (and amusing :P)
