My most hated individuals in Tyria (and beyond) in no particular order.
Vorpp Ah, Vorpp, egotistical Vorpp. They call you Emissary, do they not? Emissary, Ambassador, one chosen to represent your kind, the standard to which many of your kind choose to be judged. Your crimes, and by extension the crimes that your verminous kind commited against mine have gone unanswered for decades. Decades. The fleshlings seem to have chosen to forgive, but the sylvari do not forgive, I do not forgive. When I fought in the Battle for Lion's Arch alongside Ceara's armies I tasked my Court with the claiming of asura heads, and many did we claim. I shall continue to mete judgment upon your kind, one asura life for each day that your crimes continue unpunished. Until justice is delivered the asura shall pay on your behalf the price for the horrors which you committed upon the sylvari. Jennah Dear Jennah, who so valiantly laboured to keep your kind safe all these years. Your crimes are few, but severe. You allowed Vorpp into your city, protected him with the lives of your soldiers. In choosing to defend him, you are an accomplice to his crimes and have openly betrayed the sylvari people. Cadeyrn I respected you once, Cadeyrn, in the beginning. Your words rang true. Your nature, your desire to question the status quo, questioning the fate which Pale Mother and the Firstborn saw fit to thrust upon us. Your vision for the Court was a noble one. Yet you did not have the strength, will or conviction to remain stalwart in your beliefs and became naught but another slave to the Firstborn. In doing so the Court which you laboured so hard to build became the innefectual shambles it was under the Firstborn's rule, a cult to their vanity. You failed our kind. Mordremoth My kind owe you for one thing, yes? Our creation. You are our father. Yet when you attempted to enslave us you sealed your fate. You created us to conquer Tyria in your name, and in doing so sealed your fate. The sylvari are not and shall never be slaves. I enjoyed being there in the final battle against you and your slaves, I fighting through your whispers, aiding mine and my allies in resisting the deafening bellow of your voice in their heads. I enjoyed watching you die, father. Jormag You attempted to tempt us into the same slavery as father. Rather than bellowed orders and domination you attempted to lure us into willing service. Though I may never have seen you in the flesh, dear, I enjoyed slaying thousands of your Icebrood, knowing well that each blow made against them was one against you. I do not take kindly to those who attemp to turn my kind into slaves, willing or otherwise. Caithe Must I even explain my hatred for you, Caithe? Surely it is obvious. Self-righteous Caithe, vain Caithe, egotistical Caithe, Caithe who is hailed as a hero, Caithe the murderer of sylvari. Your each and every deed has been one of selfishness and vanity, an exercise in manipulation. I shall come for you one day, Caithe. When the time is right I shall come for you and for your Dragon. Would it be that you could simply fade into obscurity, killed in a far off wasteland at the edge of Tyria as your once-dearheart was, forgotten and consigned to a footnote of history. Such will not be so, unfortunately. Faolain And speaking of Caithe's once-dearheart. You were an insult to the sylvari once, unfit to lead, unfit to rule, unfit to live, and you died as you lived. Once controlled by your own unending vanity you became a servant of the Dragon. History will forget you, Firstborn. Not even the Dream will remember in due time.

Which College Was Blish a Member of?
Taimi says she "knew Blish from college." Even the wiki - which has a VERY firm stance on 'speculation' - agrees that this means Blish was a member of the College of Synergetics.
I have a different proposal.
When we met Taimi back in S1, there were two older asura keeping eyes on her: Zojja, and a Dynamics asura named Vorpp. This is the Vorpp who did experiments on the Secondborn (including Canach) from Caithe's memory seeds in S2, but we didn't know that at the time.
THING OF NOTE: Vorpp (he's on the wiki as Emissary Vorpp but ahaha there's like zero things there) does portal things. I dug around some maze-like wiki pages and discovered that he's the one who reverse-engineered some of Scarlet's portals so we could find her lair and beat her up in one of the S1 missions. There's a whole achievement (and, notably, as far as I can tell, he's the first one to have come up with a communicator device like Taimi's - obviously inferior, but still).
But. This is very obvious evidence that portals is a field of Dynamics. Which only makes sense, because asura gates were created and are maintained by the College of Dynamics.
My POINT HERE is this: Taimi was still hanging around and involved with Vorpp of Dynamics even though she was a member of Synergetics.
And Vorpp's field of expertise is portals. And also very Inquest-like experiments on Secondborn sylvari.
Utter and rock-solid and extremely true headcanon: this is how Taimi knows Blish.
Blish is a portal specialist. Taimi "knows Blish from college." Blish is a member of the Inquest.
We all assume that Blish was Synergetics because Taimi knew him in college. But that's not necessarily true!! My 100% headcanon is that Vorpp was Blish's college mentor before Blish went off and joined the Inquest. Vorpp's experiments on Secondborn likely happened before Blish was even born (that was in 1302 and Taimi was born in 1313, so if they're anywhere near each other in age...) but Vorpp's tastes and morals likely remained the same, which would help explain why Blish and Gorrik were so 'eh' about being in the Inquest (my other headcanon is that they only joined looking for something to help Blish, but they didn't have to be so casual about it - this would explain that).
I feel like I need to obsessively defend this headcanon, simply because the wiki definitively says Blish was Synergetics. But that's derived SOLELY from the fact that Taimi says she knew him in college, but she never specifies which college.
Dear Brain, please stop holding the word of the wiki as golden when you help edit that thing and you know full well what the source of Blish's 'Synergetics' tag is!
