Lilith Enters Borderlands 2 Single

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

After her turbulent history with Roland in the first Borderlands game, Lilith enters Borderlands 2 newly single and ready to take on Handsome Jack‘s forces as leader of the Crimson Raiders.

A Primer on Lilith

For those unfamiliar with the Siren‘s background, Lilith is one of six classes of playable characters in the original Borderlands game. As a Siren, she possesses formidable Phasewalking and Phaseblasting abilities. Lilith and Roland, the Soldier class, strike up a romantic relationship within the first game.

But as the threat of Hyperion and Handsome Jack intensifies in the sequel, Lilith and Roland drift apart to focus on their roles leading the resistance.

The Breakup

Most sources cite the high demands of running the Crimson Raiders as the driving factor behind Lilith and Roland‘s split:

"Roland ended his relationship with Lilith in order to focus on Hyperion and the Crimson Raiders." (borderlands.fandom.com)

Though they still fight side-by-side against their common enemies, any romance between the vault hunters remains firmly in the past by Borderlands 2.

No New Suitor

With Roland out of the picture, some fans have speculated Lilith may start up a relationship with one of the other characters. However, she remains single throughout Borderlands 2‘s campaign.

Lilith interacts mainly with the new vault hunters and allies like Scooter. There are no hints she grows close enough with anyone to rekindle a romance. Her priority is coordinating the attack on Handsome Jack.

Handsome Jack an Arch-Nemesis

If Lilith has a defining "relationship" in Borderlands 2, it is undoubtedly her hatred for Handsome Jack. References consistently paint them as bitter adversaries:

"Lilith teleports in and punches the artifact into Jack‘s face, severely disfiguring him before disappearing." (en.wikipedia.org)

Jack may have multiple girlfriends throughout the Borderlands universe, but Lilith certainly isn‘t one of them. Their rivalry only intensifies after Roland‘s death at Jack‘s hands during the sequel.

So in summary, Lilith is a single woman focused on the mission at hand in Borderlands 2. Her history with Roland reminds fans of her romantic past, but vengeance against Jack now consumes the Siren‘s energy. With the fate of Pandora at stake, matters of the heart will have to wait.
