Recent events have stirred up questions, within what is left of the Guild Wars 2 community, about the fate and whereabouts of Menzies. Should you find yourself asking them, worry not, Menzies was reincarnated into Rytlock Brimstone. He's been a loyal companion, I guess, for quite a while. But things are changing.
