In Kinya Province, if your character is not a Mesmer:

"It is a great thing to be a Mesmer, but given the circumstances, perhaps you were wise to choose another profession. I have great respect for most of the Headmasters here, but some.... Well, I trust you have encountered Headmaster Kaa."

• Lo Sha tends to use Imagined Burden first, even on stationary targets.
• He uses Empathy on targets quite late, usually when they're close to dying.

• His interrupt reaction time is incredible, although he doesn't necessarily use it intelligently.

• Performs hex removal (Factions only).
• Can hinder both casters and melee (the latter in GW:EN only).

Dialogue

Factions

On Shing Jea Island:

"I hope Mei Ling is doing alright. She had to stay back at the monastery to guard the others. If she wanted to guard anyone it would be Headmaster Kaa, most likely. I have no idea what she sees in that old man. I hope we get this plague business sorted out soon so things can return to normal around here. Did you need something?"

In Kaineng City:

"When Master Togo picked me to come help defeat the plague on the mainland, I was shocked. Of course, he could not send Headmaster Kaa. He would just make a mess of things. But I ache to be away from Mei Ling for so long. Surely he could have found someone else to send.

Did you need something?"

Eye of the North

In the Central Transfer Chamber:

"I'm the greatest mentalist the world has ever known! Come here. Let me read your palm and I'll tell you the future. Let's see, you're traveling through great dangers into unknown realms. So easy!"

In the Charr Homelands:

"No, no, don't tell me... let me read your aura. You're going on a journey... into dangerous lands... and you need me... to help! Ha! I've done it again! That'll be five gold, please."

In the Far Shiverpeaks:

"Don't bother introducing yourself. I can tell from the cut of your clothes where you're from, right down to the street name. You're the hero, right? See? I'm amazing!"

In the Tarnished Coast:

"I feel a strange vibration coming from your inner eye. Aaah, I'm having a vision! A vision of you fighting horrible monsters. You're in grave danger. Am I good or what?"

Eye of the North

• "Come to your senses and die!"
• "I will feast on your ether!"

Notes

• Lo Sha's armor is very similar to Mesmer Canthan Armor, but the parts that would normally be black and undyeable are blue.
• He is very much in love with Mei Ling, a fellow instructor.
• The "I have the power to cloud men's minds!" quote is a probable reference to the Shadow's signature ability.
• The "Not in the face!" quote is a possible reference to Arthur's battle cry from the animated series: The Tick.
