My idea for how to handle the character of The Commander if there's ever a guild wars 3:
-across tyria there are wildly conflicting accounts of the commander’s deeds and who they were
-these varying accounts line up with different personal story choices in gw2
-different species and factions claim the commander was one of their own
-there have been literal wars over who gets to claim the pact commander
-cue Trahearne Junior's speech about the history of the Guild Wars... 2!
-eventually you get a post-story end game quest where you find a lead on some actual documented, uncontested history of the commander
-it's long as fuck and extremely difficult and expensive
-the quest leads you to an elderly, ancient, snargle goldclaw
-the last living person to have personally known the commander
-he rambles on about his life and novels for a literal eternity
-only after you sit and listen through ALL his life stories including a bunch of different hidden dialogue branches do you unlock the option to ask about the pact commander
-he confirms that canonically, the Official Canon Pact Commander... "was the bravest choya i ever knew"
-he then immediately dies peacefully of old age
