Koss

Relentless Adventurer

"Trust me on this one."

Koss is one of the the Heroes (customizable party NPCs) available in Guild Wars Nightfall. He is a member of the Order of the Sunspears.


 * Origin: Kournan
 * Age: 25
 * Profession: Warrior

An idealistic and brutally effective soldier, Koss has great hopes for the latest generation of Sunspears. He's proud of what they've done, sometimes to the point of arrogance. With brute strength and overwhelming confidence, he cheerfully muscles his way through one confrontation after another, often using the same approach when dealing with people. For the good of the Order, he's used a combination of ruthless charisma, physical intimidation, and flexible morality to build up a network of contacts and informants. Of course, some of those contacts aren't entirely trustworthy. Dealing with the dregs of the underworld has its risks, but when the fate of his homeland is at stake, he'll do whatever it takes to keep Elona safe. When push comes to shove, Koss is a loyal ally, a dedicated Elonian, and most importantly, a two-hundred-and-fifty-pound fighting machine.

From the Nightfall product info page:


 * KOSS: A cheerful, boisterous fellow Sunspear, Koss has almost as much faith in you as he does in himself.

Recruitment
Koss joins the party after completing the Into Chahbek Village primary quest. His recruitment is mandatory to progress in the storyline.

Armor
Koss starts with basic Warrior armor, including a Brute's Helm, which is labelled as Sunspear Armor but has its own unique appearance. Like all heroes, his headgear is hidden. His armor has +20 armor vs physical damage and an AL of 23...80 depending on his level. His starting weapon is a Machete.

Koss can also have his armor appearance changed during the storyline. This only changes Koss's appearance and does not change the AL, runes, or inscriptions.
