General Morgahn

General Morgahn
Classification
Species: Human Profession: Paragon Level(s): 20

General Morgahn is one of the Heroes available in Guild Wars Nightfall. He is one of three generals of Kourna and is a devotee of Lyssa.

Lore

Origin: Kourna

Profession: Paragon

From the manual:

Three generals report directly to Warmarshal Varesh Ossa. General Morgahn has known her the longest, having served under her father for decades. When Varesh was born, Morgahn spent years assisting with her training and the shaping of her character. As a loyal patriot, he considers duty and honor to be the highest virtues a soldier can have. Although Varesh is curious about lofty philosophical concepts like Ascension, Morgahn keeps to a simple faith. He's a devout follower of the goddess Lyssa, holding great respect for artists and crafters. Like any good soldier, he chants his prayers to Balthazar when charging into battle, but in the dark of night, it's his faith in Lyssa that sustains him.

Dialogue

In Zehlon Reach:

"Lyssa teaches us that the glory of leadership is found in duty and honor."

During Tihark Orchard Mission:

"I am both a soldier and a follower of Lyssa. The two are not in conflict. Both demand devotion and dedication. Without those virtues, a man is worthless."

During quest Pledge of the Merchant Princes, in the Mirror of Lyss:

"The princes were blinded to Varesh's threat by their greed and opulence. I was blinded by loyalty and honor. Lyssa has taught me to look past the illusions in which I encased myself. For the first time in my life I can see clear as day."

Notes

• He uses the emotes and other animations of a Warrior instead of a Paragon.
• In your party his name is displayed as General Morgahn, although at the end of the Grand Court of Sebelkeh mission, he firmly insists on being called Morgahn, not General Morgahn. In the cinematics, his name is shown as General Morgahn in the Grand Court of Sebelkeh mission until he wishes to be called Morgahn.

Trivia

• It seems that General Morgahn is a tribute to Morgan Freeman. Indeed, it seems that his voice actor in the French version is Benoît Allemane, the official French voice of Morgan Freeman.
