Characters / Guild Wars 2

There are a lot of characters in Guild Wars 2. A number of them are holdovers from the original, its expansions, and the novels — with a lot of backstory and tropes already associated with them.

To keep some sort of order, here we will list the variety of important/memorable characters that appear in GW2 alphabetically by their race and position in the game. Considering how a number of them are personal-story only or are influential across the game, putting them in the order people are likely to meet them would be problematic (to say the least).

For the first game, see here.
