/ Mesmer
Level(s): 17..20

Lore[]

Nation: Ascalon
Birthplace: Unknown
Age: 20
Eve was very gifted as a child, and at the age of 15 was already capable of summoning bone minions. She met the Heroes of Ascalon during the Charr invasion of the Tyrian nations. A group of Charr were chased into the Catacombs by Devona and her friends, towards where Eve was testing out a new animation spell. The Charr thought the lone girl an easy prey, but by the time Aidan tracked the Charr there, there was nothing left but Eve and her undead army. Since then Eve has joined the party of Devona, Aidan, Mhenlo, and Cynn.

Eve, NPC[]

In the Prophecies Campaign, Eve is not seen until the players have progressed far into the campaign. She is first seen in the Thunderhead Keep as the cultist henchman replacing Claude.

The Factions Campaign showed that Eve decided, albeit initially reluctant, to accompany Devona and her group to Cantha when Mhenlo received the request for help from Master Togo. Together with Mhenlo, they would later travel to the Echovald Forest to seek the Kurzicks' aid.

Unlike Devona, Aidan, Mhenlo, and Cynn, she does not appear in Lion's Gate to welcome characters who travel from Cantha to Tyria for the first time.

In the Nightfall Campaign, Eve and her friends have answered Kormir's call for help. They aided the Sunspears as they sought to avert an apocalypse.

Eve, Cultist and Blood Henchman[]

Profession: Necromancer
Armament: Accursed Staff

Eve is a Necromancer henchman for hire in many locations across all campaigns. She is a Cultist henchman in both the Prophecies and the Factions campaigns, but a Blood henchman in Nightfall.

Evaluation[]

Pros:

  • Good sidekick for spell casters because of Blood Ritual.
  • Makes up for her sacrificing (most of the time) with a couple of good life-stealing skills.
  • Shadow Strike ignores armor and is very effective against enemies with high armor level.
  • Having a large investment in Soul Reaping along with Reaper's Mark leads her to having excellent energy management. (Eye of the North)

Cons:

  • She uses Blood Ritual constantly, in and out of battle - even more than Claude, which is significant. This leaves her vulnerable to spikes, and NPC healers will often waste time healing over her sacrifice instead of letting Eve take care of herself with life-stealing.

Dialogue[]

Prophecies
- "Don't look at me like that. I know what you're thinking, but you don't know me. Nobody knows me. Whatever you've heard, it's probably not true. I don't get any pleasure out of causing trouble. Well, maybe I do."
Factions
Kaineng City "The stench of death is all over this city. I find it quite refreshing. Coming to visit here was a much better idea than I ever thought. This is my kind of place. A girl could get into all kinds of trouble around here. How delightful!
What do you want?"
Echovald Forest "I like it here. I feel at home amongst these quiet stone trees, there is a real sense of peace here in the darkness.
What did you need?"
Nightfall
- "Surely you don't fear children's stories? Undead armies that hunger for mortal flesh, clawing their way out of the grave with the fanatic, blind will to serve... Withered husks of desiccated zombies, shredding flesh with unrelenting, claw-like fingers... The beauty of a stilled, yet ever-screaming heart... Such things frighten you? How sad. You really need to get out more."
Eye of the North
Central Transfer Chamber "I've asked Grenth. He says he can get me out of this. The rest of you are pretty much shafted."
Charr Homelands "I've always liked Ascalon's vibe. You may not like the Charr, but any gardener will tell you that ash makes things grow."
Far Shiverpeaks "I admire creatures who live in these cold mountains. Monsters everywhere, little food, and every night they go to sleep wondering if they'll freeze to death. It's not their bravery I admire... it's the constant supply of corpses."
Tarnished Coast "It's not too late, Adam. Don't talk like that. Not everyone's going to die. Ssh. You wouldn't want them to. Oh, hello there. What were you saying?"

Notes[]

  • Eve is one of only five henchmen who appear in all the campaigns and expansions.
  • Eve has a pet skull, called Adam, that she carries everywhere and often converses with; Adam makes a "guest appearance" in the Norn Fighting Tournament.
  • She uses the animation set of an Elementalist.
  • Despite her background story, she does not animate any undead minions.

Trivia[]

  • Eve is one of several faces on the Guild Wars game boxes.
  • Eve and her pet skull "Adam" is a reference to the Biblical Adam and Eve.
  • Her line "I asked Grenth, he said He can get me out of this, the rest of you are pretty much shafted," is inspired by a line said by Stephen of the movie Braveheart.
  • "Just call me Eve of Destruction" is probably a reference to the song of the same name.
  • Her line starting "All men dream..." is a rephrasing of a line by T.E. Lawrence: "All men dream: but not equally, Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."
  • "I love the smell of undead flesh in the morning" is referencing a line from Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
