In the narrative ofBorderlands, Cate Blanchett’s Lilith is positioned as the protagonist.

Is Lilith The Only Borderlands Character With Siren Powers?
InBorderlands, Lilith is the only person who showcases the Siren powers.
However,the franchise would steadily introduce other Sirens as well.
In the game canon, the universe can have six Sirens at the same time.
When one dies, their powers are redistributed to someone else across the cosmos.
Other notable Sirens are Maya and Amara, who are among the playable characters inBorderlands 2andBorderlands 3.
