Lt. Sefu Tendaji

Lt. Sefu Tendaji

Overview

Lt. Sefu Tendaji is a Longbow Elite Boss and possesses most of the same powers as the Ballistae.

When found in the Rescue captured Longbow soldiers mission, he will be fighting Rikti and will need to be assisted and freed from his alien captors. He will join you for the rest of the mission as an ally. Once you free him, a wave of Rikti will attack him. Being a mission objective, you need to free him, but not to escort him or even keep him alive during the whole mission.

(IMPORTANT, POSSIBLE BUG: This is the same case as Captain Dietrich. During missions where he appears as an ally, Sefu is presented as an Elite Boss; He is not. During my mission, (Heroic, Solo) he had 965 hit points, above a Lieutenant of the same level, but very far from the 5350 an Elite Boss of level 50 has. His attacks, though strong, were also far of turning him into the destruction machine he should be. His bubble shields make him hard to kill, but don't think he's immortal.)

(IMPORTANT, POSSIBLE BUG: In the Capture Captain Racer mission from Gaussian, if your character is set to the highest difficulty level, Sefu Tendaji will be at "ArchVillain/Hero" level rather than an Elite Boss (i.e. 25,000+ hit points, 800 endurance, boosted regeneration, and very powerful attacks), even though his rank is still listed as 'Elite Boss' in the mission.)

Heroes and villains can find him:

• on the Rescue captured Longbow soldiers mission from Levantera as an ally.
• on the Fight back Rikti attacks mission from Serpent Drummer as an ally.
• on the Investigate Renegade Safehouse mission from Gaussian as an ally.
• on the Capture Captain Racer mission from Gaussian as an enemy.

Background

When Sefu Tendaji returned to his native Kenya after the Rikti war, he saw cities under siege by Arachnos-sponsored warlords while humanitarian aid was stolen by flying mercenaries. He swore a vow to set things right, and joined Longbow to fight against chaos and injustice.

Dialogue

During the Rescue captured Longbow soldiers mission from Levantera:

Once free: I thank you. Now, let us rescue the rest of my squad.

If refound: I am glad to see you again.

Ambush: Captive: Escaping!

During the mission Investigate Renegade Safe House from Gaussian he can be found trying to discover the whereabouts of a missing diplomat, unaware of the danger the renegade Vanguard soldiers he's talking to really are:

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: We have tracked the missing diplomat here. Is there some reason I cannot meet with him?
Vanguard Ranger: He's, uh, busy.
Lt. Ceres: Don't bother us with your petty concerns, Longbowman.

(aggroed)

Lt. Sefu Tendaji: Ah, Character! Perhaps you can help me with your fellow Vanguard?
Lt. Ceres: You've made a poor choice, Character!

Once free: What is going on? Well, you have earned my trust, so let us find the truth together.

If left behind: Character, we must stand together!

If refound: Thank you. Let us continue.
