Ever since Nightfall came out and I noticed him this dude has had me intrigued for a long time.
Why is he there and is there any story to it?
non of the wikis from my searches showed anything so can anyone fill me in?
Or is he just a prop?
thanks

Why would you think it's anything other than just prop?

WoW, that's cool, I've never noticed that!

Mind you, I never spent alot of time looking into those shrines scattered about Nightfall, but certainly new for me.

Ya, just a prop.

I always assumed those things were empty... lol.

The skeleton is too big to have been human though (compare it to the dude, it's at least twice the height); maybe it's just too big (Anet didn't care about it too much) or it is something about some famous battle.

due to size then it is a Norn skeleton (jk)
just a prop, seems that istani placed rulers and heroes in archietecture as a crypt or shrine/tomb.

Just a prop. You may have asked the 100 000 questions I have on the Catacombs in pre-sear. or that wierd building in Green Hills county

Thanks everyone I guess it is just a prop but it's funny as that is the only one I have found in Istan
I like looking at everything in the world to see how much detail the Dev's/artists and whoever added.
It just makes things more realistic and a far more immersive environment for me.
Some people just play the game and don't stop and take the time to smell the flowers.

Amen. I still want to shake the hand of the dev responsible for the tropical fish in Pre-Searing.
