Commodore Lawson Marriner of the Ship's Council, son of Dane Marriner and grandson of Lion's Arch founders Cobiah Marriner and Isaye Marriner, is a man of contrasts. The finery of his greatcoat contrasts with the leathery skin of his seafarer's face, and his quick movements aboard ship belie his age. His ship is the Pride II.

Commodore Marriner survived the Battle for Lion's Arch, and can be found in the Crow's Nest Tavern in Lion's Arch. He is sitting down on the ground near the feast on the table.

Dialogue

If the player killed Scarlet Briar

If anyone earned the title Hero of Lion's Arch, it's the famed Scarlet killer. In our darkest hour, you rose up and ended the nightmare. That's more inspiring than you can imagine.

Take care.

If the player did not kill Scarlet Briar

Every time Lion's Arch has fallen, it was rebuilt as something different. Lion's Arch never hung on to the past. It stepped into the future with a new face.

Good-bye.

In Memory of Old Lion's Arch

Welcome to Lion's Arch. I'm Commodore Lawson Marriner. I hope you're enjoying your time in our fine city.

Commodore? So you're in charge here?

By rights, the Captain's Council runs Lion's Arch, but the Commodore does enjoy certain priveleges[sic] and influence. Perks I've enjoyed for 25 years now. Much like my grandfather, Cobiah Marriner.

Your grandfather was a Commodore too?

In his later years. In his youth, he was a sailor. When Zhaitan rose from the depths and the great waves drowned the original Lion's Arch, he rescued many ships and crews that had lost their captains.

How did he become Commodore?

As many of the rescued sailors had been taken to sea against their will, they cherished freedom as only the formerly enslaved can. Under Cobiah's guidance, they began rebuilding Lion's Arch, naming him Commodore.

I appreciate the welcome, and your sharing your grandfather's story.

I will respect that legacy and try to stay out of trouble here.

I am. In fact, I'd like to get back to my exploring.
