{{Quotation|eye of the north|Born in [[Ascalon]], Gwen has witnessed horrible things in her young life, seeing both her country and family destroyed by the [[Charr]]. After [[the Searing]], she was captured and enslaved by the Charr, but escaped and fled north, where she found other human exiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, Gwen has become an adventurer. She makes her home in the [[Eye of the North (outpost)|Eye of the North]], the headquarters of the [[Ebon Vanguard]], where she serves [[Captain Langmar]]. She is one of the fiercest defenders of Ascalon, determined to exact vengeance against those who destroyed her home. Gwen has survived on the edges of Charr territory for years, watching them tear apart her childhood dreams and her beautiful homeland. Now she has nothing but memories&amp;amp;mdash;and anger&amp;amp;mdash;to sustain her. She is not the girl she once was...}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotation|[https://www.guildwars.com/heartsofthenorth/ official website]|The charr destroyed everything dear to her when Gwen was a young girl. Her toughness and single-minded hatred of the charr served her well as a member of the Ebon Vanguard, but Gwen was bitter and full of rage – until she met Keiran Thackeray. The noble ranger was immune to her cruelest barbs and took her indifference in stride, and over time Gwen's frozen heart melted. She finally realized her true feelings for Keiran when he was reported missing in action. Now Gwen leads the Ebon Vanguard alone and waits for any word of Keiran’s fate...}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Gwen|Gwen]] (born 1060 &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;[[Mouvelian calendar|AE]]&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;) is an Ascalonian adventurer and the current commanding officer of the Ebon Vanguard. Originally hailing from [[Ashford]], she lived with her mother [[Sarah]] until [[the Searing]], when her mother was killed and she was taken captive by the Charr. For seven years she suffered at their hands, during which time she developed a deep hatred of the feline race. Eventually, she escaped, fleeing north until she chanced upon an Ebon Vanguard camp, where Captain Langmar took her in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Within a year she had risen to the position of second-in-command, and aided in the effort to rescue Langmar and her soldiers from the [[Charr Homelands]] when they were captured during a mission. In doing so, she helped topple [[Hierophant Burntsoul]], which was the main stepping stone for [[Pyre Fierceshot]]'s long road to revolution. Alongside Langmar and others, she followed the Vanguard to victory in the battle against [[the Great Destroyer]]. Other notable accomplishments at this stage of her life include helping to stop a possible [[Titan]] threat in the Charr Homelands and returning to Ascalon to deal with [[Dahgar, the Eye of Flame]], one of her Charr tormentors during her long years in captivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 1079 &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;AE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;, she had become romantically involved with [[Keiran Thackeray|Lieutenant Keiran Thackeray]]. However, her cold personality made his advances difficult and eventually he gave up, deciding to travel to [[Kryta]] with his unit, the [[Ebon Falcons]], in order to help defeat the [[White Mantle]] in return for aid against the Charr from the Krytan monarchy. During the [[Krytan civil war]], Captain Langmar was killed and Keiran was reported as missing in action, leaving a distraught Gwen in command of the Ebon Vanguard. She organized a search for Keiran, eventually reuniting with him at [[Anvil Rock]]. After the two reunited, Keiran proposed, and the two were [[the Wedding|married]] in [[Olafstead (explorable area)|Olafstead]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1080 &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;AE&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;, [[King Adelbern]] recalls Gwen and the Ebon Vanguard to fortify [[Ebonhawke]], a town alongside the [[Blazeridge Mountains]], in order to solidify supply lines to [[Ascalon City]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:&amp;quot;Gwen Armor&amp;quot; concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|Concept art by Kristen Perry.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Gwen starts with [[Mesmer]] [[Ebon Vanguard armor]]. Like most heroes, her headgear (mask in her case) is hidden. Her armor has an [[armor rating]] of 60.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to [[Brotherhood armor]] using [[Cloth of the Brotherhood]] acquired from the [[Glint's Challenge]] [[challenge mission]]. The appearance of her armor can be upgraded to [[Deldrimor armor]] using [[Deldrimor Armor Remnant]] acquired in the [[Slavers' Exile]] from killing [[Duncan the Black]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Dialogue==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Wintersday Card 2008.jpg|thumb|200px|The 2008 ''Wintersday'' Card featuring Gwen and two Asura.]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Ascalon (pre-Searing)===&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Can I follow you?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hall of Monuments===&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;All of us have suffered in our own way.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
;With both [[Red Iris Flower]] and [[Tapestry Shred]], before completion of [[The Missing Vanguard]]:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I appreciate that you kept these relics of my past, but we must put them aside for now. The Ebon Vanguard needs us.&amp;quot;'' &lt;br /&gt;
;With either [[Red Iris Flower]] or [[Tapestry Shred]], before completion of [[The Missing Vanguard]]:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I can't believe you held on that for so many years. But, with the Ebon Vanguard missing, my own past must be put aside for now. We'll have time for this matter after my friends are rescued.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
;With only [[Preserved Red Iris Flower]], before completion of [[The Missing Vanguard]]:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;So many feelings. So many memories. I... no. The Ebon Vanguard needs us. We'll talk again after that matter is settled.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
;During [[Wintersday]], after completion of [[Wintersday Cheer]]:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I'm sorry I was angry. This pendant means so much to me. I can feel love in it. My mother's love, and.... Thank you! Thank you for everything, my friend.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
;Alternative dialogue after watching the first vision:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;By the way, we found this [[Monumental Tapestry|monumental tapestry]] a while ago. I think it's meant for one of these walls, but I never got around to choosing which monument to hang it over. Since the scrying pool responded to you, I think it's only fitting that you decide. Here, take it.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::'''{{yes}} Thank you. I know you've had greater concerns than these monuments.'''&lt;br /&gt;
;If Lieutenant Thackeray is present:&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Keiran...er, Lieutenant Thackeray was just leaving. What can I do for you?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Conversation options====&lt;br /&gt;
:'''&amp;amp;rArr; What is this place?'''&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;We call this the Hall of Monuments. When the Ebon Vanguard arrived here, we found these platforms and this scrying pool. Captain Langmar, Artificer Mullenix, and I have all tried, repeatedly, to make it function. It won't respond to any of us. It's like the pool is waiting for something... or someone.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:'''&amp;amp;rArr; What is this pool in the center of the room?'''&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;The scrying pool! You made it respond to your will! When the Ebon Vanguard first arrived here, we found this pool and the surrounding platforms, but none of us could make it respond. It's as if it was waiting for you.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:'''&amp;amp;rArr; What is the Ebon Vanguard?'''&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;The Ebon Vanguard was originally just a small cadre of soldiers sent north to raid the [[Charr]] and divert their troops from the southern invasions. Over time, exiles, refugees, and escaped prisoners of war swelled their ranks, and we've since became known as the Ebon Vanguard. But our mission remains the same: we must take the fight to the Charr and force them to leave Ascalon!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:'''&amp;amp;rArr; Where is the Ebon Vanguard?'''&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;The Eye of the North is our main base, but the Vanguard sends raids deep into the Charr homelands, through Longeye's Ledge in Norn territory to the east. Captain Langmar should have returned from her last mission by now, and I fear the worst.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:'''&amp;amp;rArr; How did you end up with the Ebon Vanguard?'''&lt;br /&gt;
::''&amp;quot;I don't really want to talk about that. I was a prisoner of the Charr, I escaped. Now I want vengeance.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:'''{{no}} I'll be on my way.'''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Beyond===&lt;br /&gt;
;The Wedding&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;This isn't exactly the wedding I had always pictured as a child, but this is still the happiest day I can remember. Thank you for everything you have done for me ... for us.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Annihilator 2: Searing Day]]===&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Now, remember: you can't kill anyone. Except the bad golem, I guess.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

;Ascalon (pre-Searing)&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Are we there yet?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Are you a hero, too, like [[Aidan]] and [[Devona]]? My daddy was a great [[warrior]], but he died when I was seven. [[Sarah|Mommy]] says maybe we'll see him again after we die. Do you think that's true?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Devona is so pretty! I love her hair. Do you think my hair will be that pretty when I grow up?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Eww! A big beetle!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Have you met my mommy? Her name is Sarah. She's the town herbalist. She helps make sick people well again.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;How am I ever going to get home?''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I hope this isn't too dangerous.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I'm on an adventure!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Hail [[King Adelbern]]!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I think I'm going to follow you!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I want to be an adventurer too. Can I come with you?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I wish I had a red cape like [[Sandra]]'s. It's my favorite color.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I wonder how many flowers it takes to fill a vase?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I wonder if mommy would like these flowers.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;[[Lady Althea]]'s father is a [[Duke Barradin|duke]]. That means he's important, and he knows [[Prince Rurik]]. I'd love to meet the prince someday.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;[[Mary Malone]] brought us apples today. They're so lovely and ripe! Mommy wouldn't let me have one. She's saving them to bake a pie. Yummy!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Mommy says I shouldn't bother the grownups so much, but there aren't any children for me to play with. Besides, they're all so nice to me! Well, most of them are, anyway.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;[[Fadden Hathorn|Mr.]] and [[Graine Hathorn|Mrs. Hathorn]] have children, but they're too young to play with me. Sometimes Mrs. Hathorn lets me hold the baby. He's so cute!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;My daddy was an adventurer like you. Once, he let me go on an adventure with him.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Okay, I'll wait here.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;[[Old Mack]] has a bull named [[Bill]], and he's really mean. Once I saw him chase a man and hurt him real bad. Someone ought to do something about him. If my daddy was here, he'd kill that old bull and carve him into steaks!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Prince Rurik and Lady Althea are going to get married! I can't wait! I hope I get to attend the wedding. I just love weddings!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;*Sniff*...&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Some day I will be a famous musician!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

:''&amp;quot;Those monsters almost ate me!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;When I grow up I want to be just like you.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;When I grow up, I'm going to be a hero like my daddy. I'd like to be a warrior, but the [[mesmer]]s' outfits are nicer, don't you think?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Will we ever be there?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;You look really strong. Can you teach me anything?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::;In the presence of [[profession trainer]]s&lt;br /&gt;
::{{w}} ''&amp;quot;[[Van]] is so big and strong! He reminds me of my daddy...strong and brave and handsome. Sigh. I miss my daddy.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::{{r}} ''&amp;quot;Don't you just love [[Artemis]]? She's so funny! She always makes me laugh, especially when I'm sad. And she knows how to make animals friendly! Isn't that wonderful?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::{{mo}} ''&amp;quot;Mommy and [[Ciglo]] are both healers, but Mommy uses herbs to heal people, and Ciglo uses magic from Dwayna. He told me. He's very nice to children.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::{{me}} ''&amp;quot;Oooh, did you see [[Sebedoh]]'s outfit? It's lovely, isn't it? I especially like her shoes. When I grow up, I want to be a mesmer so I can have shoes like those.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::{{e}} ''&amp;quot;[[Howland]] is so boring! He never has time for children. I wonder what he's thinking about all the time? He always looks so serious.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

:''&amp;quot;Why does everyone I love always die?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;You didn't save Ascalon, now I'm gonna hurt you.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Painful to live in fear, isn't it?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;If you don't get off me, I'll burn you, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Ashes, ashes, you all fall down!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Burn baby burn!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Burn it to the ground! Muahahaha!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Did I say you could talk to me, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Do you like fire, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Eeny Meany Miney Mo, I pick you, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Hey, where are you going?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;It's not an easy thing to meet your maker, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;My mother? Let me tell you about my mother.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;My name is Gwen, and I don't like yooou.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Ok, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt; time to die.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Stop touching me, &amp;lt;character name&amp;gt;, that's inappropriate behavior.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;We need no water, let the ...&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Thanks for playing Guild Wars!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Battle quotes===&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;...and I'm all out of mossgum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Again? Can't we get some real challenges?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Anyone who runs gets it in the back! The only thing you save is your pretty smile.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Destiny? Destiny's nothing but justice without the smell of burned flesh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;For Ascalon and the wall!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Forgiveness? That's [[Lyssa]]'s job. It's mine to arrange the meeting.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I'll tell you what I told the Charr: fur burns, too!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;I'm learning about pain and torment one Charr at a time.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;If it bleeds, we can kill it.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Mother... forgive me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;Nobody gets away from me! I'll follow you to the ends of the world if I have to!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
:''&amp;quot;The Ebon Vanguard will fight until Ascalon is free!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:&amp;quot;Gwen Final&amp;quot; concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Concept art by Kristen Perry, claimed to be for ''[[Guild Wars Utopia]]'']]&lt;br /&gt;
*Gwen will follow the player nearly anywhere in pre-Searing Ascalon, if you have won her favor and have no active Gwen-specific tasks. If you have given her a [[flute]], she will periodically heal you for 20 health.&lt;br /&gt;
*{{bug|It is possible that she stops following the player and while you can talk to her to give her more flowers or another flute, it's not possible to get her to follow you again.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Talking to Gwen for the first time after [[The First Vision]] will cause her to give you a [[Monumental Tapestry]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Taking Gwen to [[the Underworld]] will trigger a unique [[The Underworld#Dialogue|dialogue]] with her mother, Sarah. Bringing Keiran Thackeray along would trigger a different dialogue with Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;
*If you take Gwen to the [[Gwen's garden|small grassy area]] behind the [[Eye of the North (outpost)|Eye of the North]], she will talk of her nostalgia for Red Iris Flowers.&lt;br /&gt;
*A duplicate Gwen will show up as a &amp;quot;Vanguard Mesmer&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gwen's default weapons are a [[customize]]d max damage [[Item rarity|blue]] 9 Inspiration [[requirement]] [[Crystal Wand]] with [[HCT]] 20% Inspiration Magic and a max energy blue 9 Inspiration requirement [[Jeweled Chalice]] with 20% chance +1 Inspiration Magic.&lt;br /&gt;
*Gwen has two [[Miniature|miniatures]]: a [[Miniature Gwen|pre-searing version]], and a [[Gwen Doll|doll version]].&lt;br /&gt;
*As with most heroes, she has a [[Everlasting Gwen Tonic|tonic form]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
{{gw2w|Gwen Thackeray}}&lt;br /&gt;
*The voice actress for this character is [[w:Kari Wahlgren|Kari Wahlgren]], who also voices [[Tahlkora]] and [[Shahai the Cunning]] in ''Nightfall''.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;[[Gwen-chan]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[Dr. Boar]]&amp;quot; had a tutorial section on the official Japanese site.&lt;br /&gt;
*To end one of the beta weekend events, Gwen appeared and used [[Spontaneous Combustion]] to wipe out the player population. This is not considered part of Guild Wars [[lore]]; developers often use similar devices to end events.&lt;br /&gt;
*The official acronym for ''Guild Wars Eye of the North'' is GW:EN, which can be assumed to be intentional allusion to Gwen's name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Lore:&lt;br /&gt;
*Gwen was missing and presumed dead following [[the Searing]]. Over the years, hints of her survival were placed in-game: Gwen's Broken Flute can be found in [[Old Ascalon]], and a Preserved Red Iris Flower can be found in a chest on the [[Barbarous Shore]]. Additionally, a [[Tattered Girl's Cape]] used to spawn in [[Stingray Strand]]. Her fate was first revealed with the release of ''Eye of the North'', and later expanded upon in the Bonus Mission Pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Dialogue:&lt;br /&gt;
:Several of Gwen's combat and ambient dialogue lines reference various popular films:&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;...and I'm all out of mossgum.&amp;quot; parodies [[wikiquote:They_Live#John_Nada|a line]] from ''[[w:They Live|They Live]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;If it bleeds, we can kill it.&amp;quot; is [[wikiquote:Predator_(film)#Dialogue|a direct quote]] from ''[[w:Predator (film)|Predator]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;You've got some really nice toys there.&amp;quot; are both [[wikiquote:Blade Runner|lines of dialogue]] in ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Time to die&amp;quot; is the last line of both Leon Kowalski and Roy Batty in ''Blade Runner''.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Painful to live in fear isn't it?&amp;quot; is another of Leon Kowalski's lines from ''Blade Runner'', during his fight with Deckard.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;It's not an easy thing to meet your maker&amp;quot; is yet another of Roy Batty's lines from ''Blade Runner'', when he meets Eldon Tyrell.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;My mother? Let me tell you about my mother&amp;quot; is also from ''Blade Runner'', said by Leon Kowalski as he shoots Dave Holden.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Forgiveness? That's Lyssa's job. It's mine to arrange the meeting&amp;quot; paraphrases [[wikiquote:Man_on_Fire_(2004_film)#Dialogue|a line]] from ''[[w:Man on Fire (2004 film)|Man on Fire]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
**The line in the film itself is a reference to a popular quote [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/norman-conquest/ misattributed] to Norman Schwarzkopf.&lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;quot;stop touching me&amp;quot; quote may be a reference to several Orc Grunt and Peon quotes from Warcraft 2 and 3 which they say in response to being clicked on.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;My name is Gwen. And I don't like yooou&amp;quot; is a likely reference to a line of a doll named Talking Tina in a Twilight Zone episode, who speaks outside of her programmed responses to the father, who does not like the doll.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;We need no water, let the...&amp;quot; are likely a reference to the frequently sampled and covered 1984 hip hop song The Roof Is on Fire by Rock Master Scott &amp;amp; the Dynamic Three; owing to the strong language used in the song's lyrics, the second quote ends in &amp;quot;...&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Burn baby burn!&amp;quot; is from the 1976 The Trammps song Disco Inferno.&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Ashes, ashes, you all fall down!&amp;quot; is clear reference to the nursery rhyme Ring a Ring O'Roses.&lt;br /&gt;
