on one hand, I am fully aware that these guys are an easter egg referencing the 'Commando' profession April Fool's joke from ages long past, but on the other:

these guys are dead ringers for the Tideturners' scouting parties that routinely travel into parallel Tyrias for recon purposes and explore fractals to obtain resources for the Turnabout, so I'm just gonna headcanon that they're a recon squad from the Tideturners who got very, very lost.

#soto spoilers #secrets of the obscure #gw2 spoilers #gw2 soto #my posts #one of the big things with the Tideturners is that they always wear masks when they're out exploring. usually high-tech ones #their suits are specially engineered to withstand even the most unstable Mists anomalies. but there's another reason:#they hide their identities because people might recognize them. many are alternate versions of characters present in other Tyrias!#(and a few are actually stabilized Fractal anomalies and it's WILD that they actually confirmed that's possible now)#this entire expansion has been some good food for me ok. my crazy Mists nonsense-loving self is eating GOOD #and these guys getting thrown in without any IC explanation is just another bit that I love
