[[Image:Paragon-icon.png]] Scion Of Longinus


Name Origin:<BR>
 * A paragon wields a spear, and probably the most famous spear is the Spear of Longinus, which supposedly was used by a Roman centurion named Longinus to pierce Jesus' side after he had died on the cross. (It was also popularized as the "Lance of Longinus" in the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.)  "Daughter of Longinus" exceeded GW's name-length limit, so she became Scion of Longinus.
