But that's the price you pay for having a branched-out storyline that eventually merges at the end with a VIP character that has so many variables i.e. - the Commander's gender, race and class ranges from a male Norn Mesmer to a female Charr Thief. The whole Personal story, the dialogues and interactions has to have a character that NPCs can interact with and address as a static entity, and not just "Commander without a Pronoun." Trahearne is that anchor.

See, this all makes sense to me. In fact, I'll probably make a Sylvari just to learn more about Trahearne. He seems dry to me, but if what PseudoNewb said is true, there's probably more to him than what I see.
