[edit] Evaluation

Pros

Provides effective anti-pressure / support healing.
Can remove conditions from the entire party with Cautery Signet (starting at Consulate Docks).

Cons

Cannot heal single targets as effectively as Kihm and Mhenlo.
Possesses the single-use Resurrection Signet rather than the multi-use Signet of Return.
Does not possess energy management skills or adrenal chants or shouts.

[edit] Dialogue

Towns and outposts:

"My parents named me after Sogolon the Protector. It should be no surprise I was destined for greatness."

Throne of Secrets:

"At last you take your place among legends. Like me!"

The Norn Fighting Tournament:

No! This cannot be!

[edit] Quotes

"Bless you, Dwayna for my wisdom. Thank you, Grenth and Balthazar, for my prowess in war. Praise to Melandru for my courage, and to Lyssa for my incredible good looks."

"Come now, friend! You and I, working together with such bright souls? We have no choice but to succeed. The gods demand it!"

"I speak to Balthazar often in my prayers. Funny, he never mentioned you."

"I work very hard to be humble. It's amazing how brilliantly I succeed."

"My arm is for fighting, my lips for prayer. My life the epitome of the gods' will."

"The gods have touched my path, blessing my life even as a young boy. I will succeed where a less fantastic man would fail!"

[edit] Battle quotes

"Even now, Sogolon the Protector smiles upon his namesake from the Mists!"

"Humility is the brother of honor."

"I am nothing if not humble."

"I mourn for those who do not know better than to face us in combat."

"I pity you, sir! You fight the bearers of truth and justice!"

"I will pray for you when this is over, and the gods will listen."

"Impossible deeds are my daily fare!"

"Like the Sogolon of yore, I shall protect you!"

"Nobility means never having to say you're sorry."

"One blow and goodbye!"

"Purity and light shine on our cause!"

"Repent now, and I will spare your lives."

"Shine on your chosen son, Balthazar!"

"The saints will remember your valor."

"There is no option. We will defeat you. It is foreordained."

"Witness your defeat at the hands of the Sunspears!"

[edit] in the Norn tournament

I will make this mercifully brief for you.
Don't feel bad...it isn't just *your* inadequacies. No one compares to me.

[edit] Notes

Sogolon is named after the Sunspear Sogolon the Protector of yore.
When in hard mode in Istan, Sogolon does not carry Cautery Signet.

[edit] Trivia

In the Nightfall World Preview Event and for a week after release, Sogolon's character model was pale in skin color. In the update closing the Halloween Event, his character model's skin color was changed to a darker tone.
