Zenmai

Zenmai is a Hero available in Guild Wars Nightfall that can only be recruited if the player has a linked Guild Wars Factions account. She was once a member of the Am Fah.

Lore
From the manual:
 * Renegade Assassin
 * "I know the smell of this. It smells of death."


 * Origin: Canthan
 * Age: 23
 * Profession: Assassin


 * Zenmai learned the ways of silent assassination as a member of the Am Fah gang in Cantha. She broke with her criminal gang when that organization embraced the Canthan Plague as a "gift of the gods." Now she is mo zing - a traveling blade, a masterless assassin, selling her services to the highest bidder. She feels guilty for the disease that overtook her former brothers and sisters, but the one constant in her life has been change. In the growing darkness, she has the feeling that an old, familiar force is back, working from behind the scenes. She wants to confront whoever or whatever is ultimately responsible for the plague that stalked her land.

Recruitment
Complete the quest Gain Zenmai, which can be obtained from Imperial Guardsman Linro in Kaineng Center, near the Bejunkan Pier portal. Your account must be able to access both the Factions and Nightfall campaigns to recruit her in PvE.

She can still be unlocked for accounts without access to Factions, but only for PvP, by spending faction points.

Her armor has an armor rating of 55 to 70, depending on her level. Like all heroes, her headgear provides an additional +1 attribute bonus based on the rune applied to it.

The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to Ancient Armor using Mysterious Armor Pieces acquired from the The Shadow Nexus Challenge Mission. The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to Primeval Armor using Primeval Armor Remnants acquired in the Domain of Anguish and during The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx mission.
