Get Reacquainted With Emily Kaldwin From Dishonored 2
Sequels are usually the place for studios to refine the backstories of their main heroes. While Dishonored’s original assassin is returning for the sequel, Arkane took the opportunity to turn Empress Emily Kaldwin into a playable protagonist as well. Last time we saw Emily she was a young princess in need of rescue. In Dishonored 2, she’s grown into a capable assassin who can stand toe-to-toe with even the toughest of the royal guard. Here’s how she grew from feeble princess to fearless empress.
Quick Stats
- Full name: Emily Drexel Lela Kaldwin
- Height: 5’10”
- Eye color: dark brown
- Birthdate: 2nd Day, Month of Rain, 1827
- Birthplace: Dunwall, Gristol

Powers
- Far Reach – Similar to Blink in that it lets Emily travel short distances relatively quickly. Far Reach isn’t actually a teleport skill, so enemies can see Emily when she moves. Emily can also use Far Reach to grab objects and enemies and bring them closer to her.
- Dark Vision – Allows Emily to see enemy movement through walls.
Mesmerize – Emily conjures a strange tear in the universe that consumes the attention of nearby guards.
- Domino – Using a psionic tether, Emily joins up to four enemies together. Whatever happens to one afflicts the others.
- Shadow Walk – Emily transforms into a small, etherial shadow creature, which can move relatively unseen through environments and rat holes, or be used to perform perfect assassinations.
- Doppelganger – This clone of Emily is perfect for distracting guards or setting up terrible chain reactions in conjunction with Domino.
