Dobbery Leif

A mesmer's mask creates an image. I choose to look out from behind a harlequin's smile.
	It takes bravery to face your fears and seize your victories. Never let them see you without a smile.

I'm dignified even when up to my ears in mud. Its what makes people respect me. A serious, thoughtful demeanor is the route to success.

I dreamed of a quest that calls me to action. It was a vision of The Shield of the Moon.
	The moon is a powerful symbol of healing and magic. Any who dream they're protected by the moon shall know faith and fortitude. I hope I'm worthy of such a vision.
I believe that the most important of Ventari's teachings is "All things have a right to grow."
	The blossom is brother to the weed. Diversity of opinion is good. Discussion is healthy. No one should be condemned simply for being different. I will stand up for the rights of all.
The Pale Tree awakened me during the Cycle of Dusk.
	Sylvari awakened at dusk are naturally curious and thoughtful. We love to learn and spend time reading and studying. We are intelligent and drawn toward the luscious complexities of magic.

My most useful tool is my eagle-eye goggles.
	Nothing sees the world more clearly than a soaring eagle. These goggles allow its [sic] wearer to see just as well.

I'm ferocious. Threatening violence gets me further than anything else. I'm a natural, though I do try to use my powers of intimidation for good.

I am a member of the College of Statics.
	Builders and architects make up the College of Statics, and we build to last. Some call us conservative, but we excel at creating new designs, using old materials in innovative ways, and expanding the purview of known magics for practical application.
My first creation was The VAL-A Golem.
	Most golems are powerhouses, designed for warfare. They show absolutely no subtlety or originality of design. My golem was compact and efficient, and it had an unparalleled package of features. It revolutionized lab cleanup, and it mixed a great cocktail too.
My first advisor, the one who taught me almost everything I know (almost), was Bronk.
	Good ol' Master Bronk taught me the benefits of superior firepower. He liked to say, "When it comes to besting the enemy, there's no such thing as overkill."

My pet stalker fights at my side and guards my back.
	My stalker is a dear friend. It is quiet, still, and as quick as an arrow from a bow. Its intelligence shows in its eyes.

I'm charming. No one can resist me when I'm at my best. I know just what to say to lighten the mood or bolster courage.

I am proud to be Iron Legion.
	I am Iron Legion. I march to the boom of war machines. The Iron Legion has ignited our industrial revolution. We perfected metalwork, cannons, and — most importantly — guns.
I would die for my warband, especially Dinky, my sparring partner.
	Dinky was the smallest cub in our Fahrar, so he had to be twice as tough just to break even. He gets picked on because he's a guardian, and not so smart, but I stand by him. He's always been a good friend.
They tell me the soldier that sired me is a Loyal Soldier.
	I've heard my sire's name spoken with reverence ever since I was a cub in the fahrar. I plan to live up to his reputation — or exceed it.

A necromancer's closest companion is death. In acknowledgement of this, I mark my face with the symbol of a ghostly wraith.
	A wraith is a creature of energy, and its cunning helps it elude its enemies. What you cannot see... can kill you.

The most important quality of a great hero is that they Honor the Spirits.
	Norn must always honor the Spirits of the Wild. Their bravery and cunning helped us escape the Ice Dragon.
At a recent celebratory moot held in Hoelbrak, I Lost an Heirloom.
	I inherited Romke's Horn, a magical ancestral heirloom passed down through generations. After one too many drinks, however, I wagered it on a contest of strength... and lost.
When I was still a cub, I had a vision. A Spirit of the Wild spoke to me and offered its guardianship. That spirit was Snow Leopard.
	Snow Leopard is a stealthy, smiling spirit. She teaches us independence, strategy, and laughter in the face of danger. To this day, her wisdom guides me, and my memory of her visit comforts me on dark nights.

As a symbol of my dedication, I wear a visionary's helm.
	Tyria is bigger than we know and filled with mystery. This helm is open, allowing me to see with clarity. With it, I will seek the world's greater truths that others fear to explore.

I was raised among the nobility.
	I grew up among the nobles, including my friend Lord Faren, who can trace their ancestry back to ancient kings. I received an excellent education, am well versed in courtly graces, and understand the responsibility that comes with privilege.
One of my biggest regrets is that I never recovered my sister's body.
	My sister was a Seraph. Centaurs killed her while she was out on patrol. They never recovered her body, and it has always bothered me.
Everyone said I was blessed by Kormir when I was young.
	Kormir is the goddess of order, spirit and truth. She inspires me every day to find greater courage and to seek rightness of mind, heart and action.
