Do you think Sylvanas becoming an agent of a greater force robs her of her character?

[TheImperios]

Personally, I have always thought of Sylvanas as that strong-willed, individualist character. She stubbornly defended Silvermoon, she broke free from the Lich King's control because of how strong her spirit was, and then had the gall to openly disobey both Garrosh and Vol'jin. The implication that Sylvanas is now merely a minion to some death god feels out of character for her.

I only hope that she will eventually turn on that new master of hers as well. Ideally, she should fail and die (karma, bitch), but if she became some sort of death goddess for us to fight, it'd be pretty cool as well.

We don't really know enough about the arrangement to make definitive statements. However, it would be quite disappointing if she were ultimately downgraded to a lackey.

[Nnyco]

I assume is that in the end she will betray that unknown death-entity aswell to take their power.

And then saves us all?

AZEROTH IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Guarantee there's gonna be a Sylvanas statue in Org next expansion, quote me on that

[Maljinwo]

Her character stopped making sense after wotlk

[Zandalariprelate]

Like Jaina her character was too dependant on Arthas. Honestly Blizzard killing the bastard too quickly kinda ruined many characters before forming arcs for them away from the certain ones.

[Zuben]

I don't think she'd be just a minion, rather a character who knows her place for the moment, with the aim of eventually surpassing it. Not an uncommon character trait for charismatic servants of dark entities.

Remember in WC3 when she made deals with dreadlords thus becoming a lackey of the Burning Legion? I think they pretend to pull one of those again. She used to be the sort of trickster character, who sees she has a massive disadvantage so she plays dirty using questionable allies and such.

Erm....you are aware that she forced said dreadlord to serve her right?

[Kumorii]

No idea why people keep assuming she is a minion or servant... As we know she never has been. Just because she is fighting for death could also mean she does so with her own will instead of being a servant.

[Kwento]

That’s not entirely correct though. She just thought that she was intimidating enough but failed at controlling him.

That is exactly what I mean, she pretended to be a minion, then kicked the dreadlords ass into servitude, that's the trickster essence.

And how does it make her "made deals with dreadlords thus becoming a lackey of the Burning Legion?"

She pretended to be minion by beating him into submission?

Didn't she feigned serving him previously, then betrayed his ass and beat him?
Perhaps I remember this one bad.

[Arrashi]

At least she thought she did.

Given that he helped her liberate forsaken and deal with his brothers (and that other guy) she did.

Yes, you definately remember this one bad. It was garithos whom she struck truce with and then stabbed him.

[Arrashi]

And yet the Nathrezim survived and he kept carrying on a task given to him by Sargeras as well as subverted the RAS against Sylvanas.

And yet achieved nothing.

It doesn’t. Just making sure that imaginary bitch doesn’t get the credit for something she didn’t do.

[Sondrelk]

It all really depends on what the greater entity is all about. If it has an agenda where it rules supreme then yes, Sylvanas' character got a nice kick to the dead uterus.
However if the death entity has no real agenda beyond spreading death, then Sylvanas can serve it perfectly fine, as she is still the one in control, she is just borrowing powers from something greater, similar to what Shamans do.

[Arrashi]

She controlled him pretty well to do her job for her. He is even still salty about it.

[Arrashi]

Cool, he still didn't really serve her and betrayed her.

Oh yes, because serving someone is 1:0 situation. You are saying that removing burning legion presence from lordaeron was some genius plan on his account?
