Increases power with each duel victory.
Renowned for her intrepid defense of Stonehall, the commander of the Bronze Legion swore a brutal vengeance upon its Abyssal Invaders. The call of Tresdin's horn Heals, Hastens and Inspires her soldiers. Faced with Overwhelming Odds, the commander calls down a spread of arrows from the archers of Stonehall. But above all, Tresdin relishes these one-on-one Duels. Locked in single combat, and with a Moment of Courage, she counter-strikes instinctively, slashing twice in the time her opponent takes to swing once. With each victory claimed, the Legion Commander adds to her strength, scaling her potential upwards without limit, until at last she can be a relentless one-woman army.

Bio

[edit]
If they want war, then we shall give it to them!
▶️  Tresdin, the Legion Commander
Aliases:
Tresdin, LC
They came without warning. Within the city walls of Stonehall there came a rumble and a terrible sound, and from blackness unknown came a force of beasts numbering beyond count, wielding flame and foul sorcery, slaying and snatching mothers and sons to dark purpose. Of once-mighty Stonehall's military strength only the Bronze Legion, led by the indomitable Commander Tresdin, was near enough to answer the call of battle. They rode into their city, fighting through bloodstained alleyways and burning markets, cutting their way through the monstrous throng to the source of the sudden invasion: an ethereal rift within the city square, and at its precipice thundered their dreaded champion.

Enwrapped in a corrosive shimmer, the leader of the abyssal horde swung its massive blade, cleaving a legionnaire in two as his flesh began to spoil. Tresdin lifted her blood-stained sword and settled her sights on the beast. It turned, smiling at her through a maze of teeth. Heedless of the battle raging around them, they charged one another.

Deflecting blow after blow, the pair danced their deadly duel as the Bronze Legion met its end around them. Tresdin leapt forward as her foe swung its sword to meet her. The odds turned. The attack smashed into Tresdin suddenly, a brutal thrust from the side, but even as her balance slipped she rallied her strength for another stroke. Blade scraped on blade, beyond the hilt to the gnarled paw below, carving it in two in a fearsome spray of sparks and blood. The vile audience looked on in astonishment as she pressed the attack, driving her blade through her foe's flesh into the stampeding heart within. With a scream that split the clouds above, the beast erupted in a torrent of gore and anguish. The stygian portal wavered, the power sustaining the chasm beyond vanishing as suddenly as it had appeared. The remaining invaders fell quickly to Stonehall steel.

Though victorious, the survivors saw little to celebrate: the city lay in ruins, and survivors were few. Fires continued to spread. Unfurling her banners of war, Tresdin gathered what allies she could. Her anger smoldered as she pledged brutal vengeance upon the forces of the abyss, and damned be any who would dare stand in her way.

Trivia

[edit]
  • Tresdin's response, ▶️ "War. War always changes." is a reference to the signature "Fallout" quote, "War. War never changes."
  • ▶️ "You won't win the war by dying for your Ancient. You'll win by making the other dumb, unfed bastard die for theirs!" is a reference to the popular "George S. Patton" quote: "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
  • Her voice actress, "Merle Dandridge", is also well known for providing the voice of Alyx Vance, a character in the game "Half Life 2", another title by "Valve".
  • When Dueling Zeus, ▶️ "Thunderdome! " which a reference to the Thunderdome of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome!
  • When Dueling Ogre Magi, Legion Commander has only 1% chance to say "Multi-ogre Battle Arena!". This is a reference to the game genre Dota 2 is, MOBA - Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.
  • In The Lab, a VR game by Valve, there are some Bendie soldiers who wield Legion Commander's sword in the minigame Longshot, along with other Dota 2 weapons like Axe's war axe, Huskar's spear and Stout Shield.
  • Warcraft 3 similarities:
    • Legion Commander uses the model of Lord Garithos, a campaign-only mounted human Knight hero, with a great hate against non-human races, especially towards blood elves.
    • This concept was not carried over to Dota 2. Legion Commander's transition to Dota 2 involved a change in gender and the loss of the horse.
    • However, she still makes many references to her DotA design in a collection of lines when engaging certain heroes:
      • When meeting allied heroes with facial hair or with mounts, she may express her fondness of those things.
      • She may also make a remark upon duelling an enemy hero that has facial hair. Her DotA model has a large mustache.
      • The hate towards anything that is not human was changed to a hatred towards the Abyssal Horde, and to demons in general.
      • She also shows distrust towards other groups of being, mainly related to their occupations, like assassins, wizards, technology, the undead, and towards beasts and monsters like dragons, giant insects, and snakes.
