== Dialogue ==
=== Before [[Bazaar of the Four Winds]] ===
:Welcome to my Trading Company! I am Evon Gnashblade, and have new stock arriving all the time! I aim to flank, encircle, and eliminate the competition!
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What is the Black Lion Trading Company"?''
::It is the ultimate trading machine! We have available a trading post, a currency exchange, and a gem store!
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me about your trading post.''
:::We allow you to buy and sell the spoils of battle with other adventurers! No merchant middlemen! Talk to my traders on the main floor!
:::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Interesting. Can I ask you something else?''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I think I will. Thank you for your time.''
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me about your gem store.''
:::I carry unusual items for adventurers. Costumes! Minis! Keys! Dyes! Boosters! A cornucopia for the well-traveled hero! All available for a reasonable amount of gems!
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Why gems?''
::::Coinage is malleable, but gems, ah, they are eternal! You may purchase gems with coins of many lands!
::::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Curious. Can I ask you something else?''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Many lands you say? Thank you.''
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me about your currency exchange.''
:::Ah, it is a thing of beauty. You can exchange gems for gold, or gold for gems. The gems can be used in our gem store.
:::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Thanks for the information. May I ask something else?''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thank you. I will be sure to check it out.''
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's your goal with this company?''
:::I intend to dominate the marketing battlefield and deliver the finest and most unique items to my customers{{sic|missing full stop}}
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''You do this by yourself?''
::::I have trustworthy traders throughout Tyria, along with my [[aide-de-camp]], a sylvari named [[Sareb]]. Look for our banners!
::::'''(If a sylvari)'''
::::I have trustworthy traders throughout Tyria, along with my aide-de-camp, Sareb. She's Sylvari, like you. Look for our banners!
::::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''Interesting. Can I ask something else?''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I may have seen her on the way in. Thanks.''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Is it odd that a charr is running a trading company?''
::Nay! The same principles apply to both trade and combat! A stout heart and sufficient supplies will always carry the day! I love the smell of commerce in the morning!
::{{dialogue icon|back}} ''I bet it smells like victory. Can I ask something else?''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Interesting philosophy. Good luck with that.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''That's an aggressive sales pitch. I wish you well.''

=== During Bazaar of the Four Winds ===
;In Strangers from the Sky
{{main|Strangers from the Sky}}

;At [[Labyrinthine Cliffs]]
:So glad to see you. We've met before, right? I never forget a face.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''How's the trade agreement coming along?''
::I'm working on getting into their good graces. Running the Black Lion Trading Company means never having to say you're sorry. These humans are sensitive. I'm exercising my charm muscles.
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good luck.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Me either.''

=== During [[Cutthroat Politics]] ===
;In Audience with the Master
{{main|Audience with the Master}}

;Speaking to Captain Gnashblade in Bazaar Docks
:You're talking to the right candidate, my friend. I'm horns and shoulders above Ellen Kiel. How about a game of Southsun Survival? Feeling lucky?
:{{dialogue icon|ready}} ''I'm ready to survive!''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Remind me of your promises?''
::I'll discount Black Lion Chest Keys for four weeks, research the fall of Abaddon for the Fractals, and dig into the secrets behind the Molten Alliance and Aetherblade pirates! And lastly, I'll sponsor a weekly rotation of [[Southsun Survival]], [[Sanctum Sprint]], [[Keg Brawl]], and [[Crab Toss]] games to keep things exciting!
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Sounds fun.''
:'''(If asura)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I like your attitude.''
:'''(If charr)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''For the legions.''
:'''(If human)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Gods protect you.''
:'''(If norn)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Spirits guide you.''
:'''(If sylvari)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''If only the Pale Tree could see me now.''

=== After Cutthroat Politics ===
:I thought the candidate who spent the most gold always wins. I was robbed!
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''If you say so.''

=== After [[Fractured]] ===
:I tell ya, things haven't been right since that mouse Kiel lucked into that council seat.
:'''(If you voted for Gnashblade)'''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Gnashblade, tough luck about the election. If it matters, I voted for you.''
::Hey, I don't blame you. You're savvy. You know you voted for the right guy. (sigh) But that Kiel, she's gonna get everyone in this town killed one day.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Bold statement. How?''
:::Kiel's playing in the Mists while her leash-holder, Magnus, has the best Lionguard out in Caledon Forest. We're undefended here.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's the danger?''
::::Once, I'd say the karka, but we got bigger problems. Scarlet's out there somewhere. It's a matter of time before she punches Lion's Arch hard.
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Lion's Arch is a tough city. It's been hit before. It'll still be standing.''
:::::That ain't a winning business plan. A city can only take so much punishment before it falls. Magnus and his mouse Kiel will be the cause of it.
:::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good-bye.''
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Let's hope not.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I need to go.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Hey, I supported you, but that's a little extreme.''
:'''(If you voted for Ellen)'''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Oh, Gnashblade. Looks like you got some free time ever since Kiel beat you fair and square.''
::I hope you're happy with your idiot of a councilor. Don't come crying to me when she leads this city to ruin.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''You're just sore she kicked your tail in the election.''
:::Stop being ignorant and pay attention. Kiel's boss, Magnus, has the best Lionguard out in Caledon Forest while she's playing in the Mists. We're undefended here.
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Undefended from what?''
::::Where have you been? First, the karka hit. Then sky pirates killed a councilor in front of everyone. Now, Scarlet. That bag of crazy hasn't hit here yet, but she will.
::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Lion's Arch can handle one person.''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''This city will be fine.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good-bye.''
:'''(If you voted for both)'''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''If it matters, I voted for you. But then, I also voted for Kiel.''
::Heh. Betting on both outcomes. Clever. Still, your bet's gonna backfire. Kiel's gonna get us all killed.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''And just how is she going to get me killed?'' '''(Same as "Bold statement. How?")'''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I think I'll be fine.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll take your word for it.''

=== After [[Escape from Lion's Arch]] ===
:Most people would be alive if the council listened to me. But you got me out in one piece. Let me make it up to you with something from my private stocks.
:{{dialogue icon|sell}} ''What do you have for sale?''
:{{dialogue icon|give}} ''Something special? I'm in.''
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''How are you doing out here?''
::Better than most of my customers, who are dead thanks to those useless Lionguard. Any [[fahrar]] would have held the city better than those failures.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''That's harsh.''
:::My business is in tatters, and I'm surrounded by refugees who can't buy my stock. Yeah, my day is looking up.
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll be going now.''
::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll be going.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Not right now.''

=== Before Lion's Arch Reborn ===
:Ain't got time to talk. I got a business to run and competitors to crush. Scarlet's really done a number on trade in the city.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What's the business?''
::Ehh, during the crisis, Kiel forced me to outfit the Lionguard with my stock. If I left, she'd have me shot on sight.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Sounds like bad blood between you two.''
:::She ain't fit to lead a parade, but most merchants went bankrupt after the attack. Whether Kiel knows it or not, she made me the top merchant in the city.
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good-bye''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Good-bye.''

== Ambient dialogue ==
=== During [[Escape from Lion's Arch]] ===
;At [[Trader's Forum]] during the [[Lion's Arch (Under Attack!)]] [[Protect the Black Lion Dolyaks]] escort event.
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Get outta my way, runt. I gotta get merchandise through that gate.''
:'''Captain Shud:''' ''Hurry it up, Evon. I have citizens here who need this gate.''

:'''Captain Shud:''' ''Evon, move your dolyaks. I need to get these people out of the city and shut down the gate.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''What? That's your problem? Don't worry, Shud. I got you covered.''
:'''Captain Shud:''' ''That greedy...! How did he shut down the gate?''
:'''Captain Shud:''' ''Never mind. Get to the city exits.''

=== During [[Battle for Lion's Arch]] ===
;At the [[Vigil Keep]];
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''I warned Magnus. I warned Kiel! I warned them all. I told them Scarlet was going to attack the city.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''And did the Council listen? No! Because of them, your friends, your neighbors. Dead.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Now I know why he's Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed. He has the blood of all those innocent people of Lion's Arch on his hands.''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''Evon Gnashblade?''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''What is it? Shouldn't you be failing at your job somewhere?''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''You've been hereby conscripted into Lionguard service under General Emergency Statute 14.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''You're joking. Someone tell me this sorry idiot is playing a joke on me.''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''For the duration of the emergency, you and Black Lion Trading Post agents will act as deputy quartermasters outfitting all active personnel.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''And what if I refuse? What if I pull up stakes and leave you suckers in the dust?''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''Considering you are now technically a Lionguard supply officer, desertion would mean confiscation of your wares and summary execution.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''So, it's either get robbed blind by you Lionguard or get hanged?''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''Firing squad, actually. And it's not "you" or "us" anymore, Quartermaster Gnashblade.''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''Speaking of which, we need two dozen swords, a dozen axes, twenty shields, and forty rifles.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''(grumble)''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Just tell me one thing. Kiel—she's dead, right? C'mon, give a guy good news.''
:'''Lionguard Jirtta:''' ''She and Captain Magnus are at a relief camp to the south. And your deputizing was Captain Kiel's idea.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Of course it was.''

=== Before Lion's Arch Reborn ===
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''There he is, the hero of the hour. So, my son, how did it go?''
:'''[[Hero-Tron]]:''' ''Error: This—unit—is—not—your—offspring.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''It's a term of affection. Now, answer the question.''
:'''Hero-Tron:''' ''For—this—unit's—service—during—Scarlet's—termination, this—unit—was—granted—amnesty—and—employment—with—the—Captain's—Council.''
:'''Hero-Tron:''' ''This—unit—will—have—a—revenue—stream—to—repay—this—unit's—debt—to—you. Our—transaction—will—be—complete.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Complete? Oh, no. No, not at all. I saw your ID number when I was installing the combat chassis before your rumble with Scarlet.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Traced it back to the source. [[Consortium]]. Seems they ran into some trouble on [[Southsun Cove|Southsun]] a while back.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''Involuntary servitude. An unsafe workplace. Substandard living quarters. And at the center of it all, a little golem named Job-o-Tron.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''It'd be a shame if Magnus's new golden boy was linked to such nasty business. Why, with the situation in the city, well... They'd dismantle you.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''So keep on listening. And keep on coming back to me with all the juicy tidbits.''
:'''Evon Gnashblade:''' ''And don't you dare cross me. You can run, but you'll never run far enough.''
