©️ for any non-commander (or commander-adjacent?) OCs? (@awakenedsylvari)

@awakenedsylvari (tagging you again because I don't think the tag in your ask worked)

Ooh, ye, for sure for sure!! :D

©️ - Bonus: Canon NPC important to them

I'll list as many as I can think of at the moment; there are a lot!

Cio - Sieran (they were in a romantic relationship before Sieran's death), Taimi (Cio is both mentor and friend to her)

Rel - Trahearne (romantic partners)

Chieko - Valeria zu Heltzer (she's the one NPC who's looking into the zu Heltzer family tree stuff in Arborstone; she and Chieko are romantic partners)

Weylon and Ari - Clement Forktail (he's Ari's sire, though she doesn't know it for a long time--she doesn't follow the traditional personal story path and thus doesn't meet him that way; after Weylon turns on the Flame Legion, he's one of Weylon's first known allies and friends)

Tanza - Braham Eirsson (she's not close with him, but she admires and respects him; he's one of the reasons she ends up joining the Pact)

Aysel - Havroun Valda (knew her when they were both young and before she became Havroun; they're friends and stay in touch)

Minei - Logan Thackeray (he's kind of a mentor figure and sibling figure to her, but it's mixed up with a lot of emotions about how differently they see Kryta), Andrew and Petra (her adoptive family), Countess Anise (she knew Minei's parents well as they both were Shining Blade agents; she holds a tense relationship with Minei these days as Minei is not the Shining Blade's biggest fan), Forgal Kernsson (her mentor in the Vigil and a secondary father figure to her)

Maya - Agent Kito (her contact in the Order of Shadows; the two of them frequently exasperate each other), Spearmarshal Zaeim (an ally who eventually becomes a close friend), Kossan Dejarin (both have well-known ancestors, though only one of them knew about it; a bit awkward at first but now friends)

15 for Eethie? (@awakenedsylvari)

Ooh sure sure, thank you! :D

15. Were they involved with any of the canon GW2 events that involved the Inquest-- Thaumanova, Crucible of Eternity, Sorrow's Embrace, Rata Primus, etc? (Optional: How'd they escape when the Commander rolled in?)

I'm still thinking about this one and am not totally certain, lol. Eethie absolutely was still involved with the Inquest during the personal story era and only defected/left afterward, but I think if there was any way for them to not be involved in all of Kudu's stuff while still being Inquest, then they would have stayed out of it. That specific variant of grandstanding for power isn't their thing, and besides, they don't really like the guy.

I think if they were forced to be involved in Crucible of Eternity/Sorrow's Embrace, they'd have been as in the background as possible and maybe even have posed as someone the Inquest had captured to avoid retaliation from Commander Kerra and the Destiny's Edge members.

For the last two bits--

Eethie left the Inquest shortly before Thaumanova, but the resulting chaos helped cover the fact that they'd left. It also helped that their direct supervisor was at Thaumanova and did not survive.

They know a lot of people involved in Rata Primus and are made deeply uncomfortable by the whole thing, but they're definitely not with the Inquest at that point. If they were still with the Inquest then, though, the Rata Primus stuff is more up their alley and they'd likely be heavily involved, maybe even in some sort of supervisory position.
