Tina's Father (Potential Spoilers)

[Carl!!!!]

So, as a lot of us have guessed/theorized and belive, Krieg is Tina's father. Sold out to Hyperion by Flesh-stick for slag experimentation, where Tina escaped with a grenade hidden in her dress. That bit can be found out during the tundra express, and hyperion preserve area missions.

I was running through the headhunter dlcs today (namely the wam bam island, and rotgut distillery ones) and noticed some interesting dialogue giving more difinitive proof that Krieg is tina's father, and why Krieg is now my favorite vault hunter (Tina is my favorite NPC).

In the wam bam island headhunter, during the sidequest after the main one, one of the VOVH (Victims of Vault Hunters), Clements, a hyperion scientists wants Krieg dead for killing a lot of people (maybe in his escape from the preserve).

In the rotgut distillery headhunter dlc, when brewing the potion, moxxi asks the vault hunters if there is a mrs. or mr. vaulter hunter, and Krieg says "Only the Tiny one, the sad-faced mother, and blue tatooed lady."

In krieg's preview, we notice he takes a liking to maya (nlue tatooed lady), so I'm pretty sure Tina's mom passed away in Tina's escape or during the experiments, and the "Tiny one" refers to Tiny Tina.

Just wanted to throw that out there because I saw a thread on the subject awhile ago, and nobody had mentioned that info from the dlcs. I have yet to do Badass Crater, or Bunkers and Badasses dlc as Krieg, so I hope to find out more.

Also there are some clues about Tina's parents at the mission "doctor's orders".

Yeah, as mentioned above, while questing in the hyperion preserve.

Tina's mom told her the red brick under her dress has a pin.

Red brick = dynamite

So how does Flesh Stick's confession that he was responsible for Tina's family being killed fit into this?

He sold Krieg and his wife to Hyperion for money, and they run the slag experiment on them.

I AM YOUR FATHER


Is it just me, or does the guy who acts as "Tina's Father" in the ECHO recordings sound exactly like Flesh-Stick... and is even mentioned by that name in an earlier recording?

Been a while since i did that quest because of the Midget spawn thing

There is also a guy riding a pandornicorn with a eye patch on Tina's trailer in Torgue dlc, but she could have put that after meeting him.

Like the other guy said, your not the first to connect the dots...

Actually that guy with eye patch is father of Tiny Tina's voice actress and BL2 writer :P

Ahh didn't know that just assumed since Greig is main character with eye patch.

He would have been paid and then left, so he would have no way to know if they died. He would assume they did I guess.

[No.]

Flesh-Stick says that she "had to watch! Seein' [her] family go..."
Also, it's been oficially stated that they're dead.

Link me, I remember him telling Tina that her being forced to watch made her strong like him, I heard nothing about him watching. Once aging, he assumes much.

[No.]

He didn't see, but it's stated in some gearbox article that her parents are tortured to death in front of her. The fact that she doesn't deny watching them die when Flesh-stick says that line kind of confirms it.

Really, she is told about the grenade under her dress, to pull the pin and throw it at the wall. Link me to any official statement that says she watched her parents die, flesh-stick said it but he was not looking on. Sounded to me like she escaped while this was going on and remember, they were doing slag experimentation on them not torturing them. Yes I know, close, but the goal was to what, mutate them not kill them.
