Balthazar



Balthazar is the god of war and fire, and Patron god of Warriors, Pyromancers, Protection and Smiting Monks, and Command and Spear Paragons.

Faction with Balthazar is awarded for success in Arenas, Alliance Battles, Tournaments, and Guild Battles.

Beyond the land of Tyria, Balthazar is engaged in an eternal struggle with Menzies over control of the Fissure of Woe.

This inscription can be found on the Statue of Balthazar:

Balthazar is worshipped by the Zaishen Order.

One of Mhenlo's parents was a priest or priestess of Balthazar. According to in-game dialogue, Mhenlo's father was a priest of Balthazar, while his profiles on guildwars.com and in the Prophecies and Factions manuals state that his mother was a priestess of Balthazar.

Balthazar's half brother is Menzies, with whom he is always at war. It is not known who their parents are or if the other gods are related.

Balthazar forged the chains of Abaddon, implying that Balthazar may also be the god of craftsmanship.
