Zayne Kelley

"We can fight if you want. It'll be over before you know it."

Zayne Kelley is a Human Thief from Piken Square (EU) in Guild Wars 2. With a matching pair of daggers - and, occasionally, a pistol - his whole combat style is based around agility and quick, sharp strikes intended to disable an opponent - fatally or otherwise - before they even know what hit them.

Outside MNR/TPW
Seemingly fused to his green fur-lined coat, Zayne is far from what some would consider the mercenary type. A fletcher by trade, Zayne found his way into the mercenary business in the wake of his younger sister Laura doing precisely the same. Having developed something of a protector complex since their teens, Zayne saw the switch from supplying her with munitions to fighting alongside her as a natural progression.

Career
In a stacked first episode in which everyone got their debut, it was inevitable that many would walk away from the Premiere without an intact record. Zayne was no exception in this regard when, having been drawn in Group Three of the Men's Title Rush, he was eliminated by a Roll The Bones from his Shadowbreakers teammate, Firiten Duskrunner.

Shadowbreakers fared much better during the Tag-Team Tournament. Though, despite knocking out The Red Mages in the first round by flattening Varyss Mardian with the S3 and dropping Firion with the Wisecracker to knock out the Canticle Of Thorns, they fell short at the final hurdle, losing to the Monday Night Raid veterans and inaugural Men's Duo Title holders, The Ebon Blades.

In the next episode, he was quick to prove the virtues of agility over brute force. Deciding to take on one of the largest competitors on the roster to make a point, the 5'6" Zayne took on the comparatively colossal Norn Bjorn Stonekin. With an answer for just about everything Bjorn tried to throw at him and effortlessly dodging whatever he didn't, a pinpoint-accurate Wisecracker to Bjorn's already bloodied skull was enough to keep him down for the win.

Wanting to get a measure of revenge on The Ebon Blades for their defeat during the Tag-Team Tournament, the Shadowbreakers secured themselves a rematch in Episode 003. Fighting valiantly from the opening bell - and even resorting to attacking the referee to break a pinfall - the match ended up being the final victim of a Revision Instability.

Picking up where they left off to start Episode 004, withstanding a Dead Rock Ending and fighting for a total of fifty minutes, Zayne's patented Wisecracker was enough to keep Feonyr down for long enough to sneak in a three-count.
