Lies and slander! :(

Alas, it's true! Poor guy doesn't even have a unique model. Heck his half-brothers at least have unique outfits.

...Not that I wouldn't love a Haurchefant short. He's one of my favorite characters in this game (second perhaps only to Hraesvelgr since I have a Dragon Problem)

Something about Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg would likely be the most urgent topic

Really?

Main friendly contact while searching for the Enterprise before Garuda
Sends supplies to Revenent's Toll and starts us on the Iceheart/Shiva line
Gets us in contact with Aymeric
Protects us from the Ul'dah
Gets us into Ishgard
Constantly supporting us
Story makes it out that he's a good friend, possibly more, to the WoL

I'd say he's more important than Minfilia...though thinking about that, its not all that hard to be...

From SE's point of view I feel he is. Aymeric, Edmont, Estinien, Ysayle, the Scions and Alphinaud seem to be the primary movers and shakers and they seem to be the sorts of characters these shorts are about.

Of couuuuurse....I hope I'm wrong. I would love to learn more about him. He's a great and interesting character and, yes, I also appreciate him more than I do Minfilia. My WoL probably does too...

If I am wrong and he gets a story I will come here and admit I was wrong and I will be DELIGHTED I was wrong.

By that logic Ysayle's even more minor, as we knew her for an even shorter time than Haurchefant.

Ysayle seems to be listed on the site as a major lore figure. IDK if that means we haven't seen the last of her. Count Edmont is too and we don't know him well either (outside of being Haurchefant's dad as well as Our Humble Narrator)

I wouldn't be surprised at all if she's somehow involved in the Estinien/Nidhogg plot thread to try and draw parallels between her and Estinen and Shiva and Hraesvalgr.

I suspect something like that will happen.

I also think Haurchefant will come up again, despite my "relatively minor character" statement. Not alive, but he'll come up, probably. SE has to be aware of how popular he is. But that's a different conversation from this topic entirely.

Ysayle's story is up. Most curiously....why did the Ul'dahn merchant (who was a front for the Ivy) make deals with her heretic sect?
