We Didn’t Trust The Mandalorian’s Armorer Because She Acts Exactly Like A Dark Souls NPC
Since her very first appearance, the Armorer has been a mysterious character on Disney+’s The Mandalorian. When the penultimate episode of the show’s third season was titled “The Spies,” fans immediately began to theorize that the Armorer, the very person who had led the Tribe for some time, was the titular spy. That turned out not to be true, as no spy was uncovered among the Mandalorians, and it even seems like they may have been going for something more like the Biblical usage of the word. But you’re right to be suspicious of the Armorer all the same, because she’s basically a Dark Souls NPC–some of the most notoriously treacherous characters in gaming.
While The Mandalorian itself hardly has Dark Souls vibes, everything about the Armorer seems to. When Mando finds her, she’s working in a secretive underground forgery in the sewers.

She just lives down there in the sewer, endlessly hammering away at Beskar, like so many other NPCs you encounter in FromSoft games, from Andre the Smith in Dark Souls to Elden Ring’s Gideon Ofnir (not to mention that her helmet bears a striking resemblance to Gideon’s).

Han has been leading TikTok’s safety teams in the US for several years, and in December, he was named the head of trust and safety for TikTok US Data Security (USDS), a separate entity created to convince the government that the app shouldn’t be banned.
In the memo to employees announcing his departure, Andy Bonillo, interim USDS general manager, said he will be “stepping in to lead USDS T&S on an interim basis” until “we identify Eric’s replacement for the…
