Scarlett O’Hare from Guild Wars 2
Who is she? Originally born as Ceara, Scarlet O’Hare initially studied the powers of nature and smithing and then the art of handling firearms. From the very beginning, she lacked empathy towards others, appearing rather cold-hearted and pragmatic.
Due to her quick learning ability, the Arcane Circle allowed her to study Synergetics, the Eternal Alchemy, to find out how all things in the world fit together. However, her studies led to a break with the Circle.
Left to her own devices, she was plagued by nightmares surrounding a powerful being and ultimately succumbed to its influence. With her knowledge of extraordinary weaponry and an alliance of several dark races, she began an attack on the city of Lion’s Arch. There she was killed but managed to complete her plan and awaken the Elder Dragon Mordremoth.
This is her role in Guild Wars 2? Scarlet O’Hare is the villain and final boss of the first season of the Living Story of the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Her actions set off events that continue in the subsequent seasons.
What makes her so “badass”? Scarlet O’Hare is perhaps one of the few villains in an MMORPG who truly managed to execute her plans. Often villains are stopped at the last second. That was not the case with Scarlet. She was able to awaken Mordremoth, which led to a catastrophe in Guild Wars 2. Moreover, she fights with extraordinary firearms and possesses a pretty insane personality, making her a memorable villain.
