Who is that man? (Void Ark/Weeping City)

I... probably should have prepared screenshots before asking this question, but while I was admiring the aesthetics of Weeping City I noticed something familiar.

In Void Ark, at the entrance of the corridor leading to Cuchulainn (If I remember correctly, hopefully I can edit some screenies later when I run it today), are two... uh, words fail me. Busts? Reliefs? Two upper-halves of what I assume is a man.

Cue patch 3.3 and Weeping City of Mhach.

I finally got my clear yesterday (yay), and upon reaching Calofisteri's chamber for the second time, I find what is either a trick of my imagination, or yet ANOTHER... artistic interpretation through sculpture, of 3... men? With the same face.

So... who is this guy supposed to be? I apologize profusely for the scatter-brained-ness on my part. If this is confusing, I hope to have at least one screenie up later.

EDIT: "Later" being a month later. I'm sorry, guys.

Two possibilities:

1. Unknown.
2. It's of nobody in particular and is just a sculpture.

If it is of someone, then we don't know who, because it would have to be a Mhachi citizen (probably a high-ranking voidmage) and very little, if any, major Mhachi characters are known. Shatotto is the only one. It could also be of a mythic figure or god (Rhalgr?). Alternatively (and more likely) it's... just a sculpture.

Probably a high ranking Mhachi Black Mage or even it's ruler. Seems to be Male Highlander with having no eyebrows and looks eerily similar to Golbez from FFIV in build.

So it took me a month of procrastinating, but I edited the OP with images to clarify what I was talking about. First one is from Void Ark and the second is from Weeping City of Mhach.

It's Enuo. Write that down. Or Exdeath. Final boss for the raid series.

Exdeath isn't going to be relveant in a storyline where Krile isn't present.

The certainly adds fuel to the "Were Lalafell the only figures of power in the Mhachi civilization?" discussion. You don't make statues honoring your butler.

Maybe in the later/ near the end of the Mhachi civilization Hyur (Highlander?) ended up in power? Afterall, the Thorne dynasty was a Hyuran dynasty in Ul'dah for I think 100 years or less?

Cesaire (architect of VA) doesn't seem like a Lalafellin name, neither does Calofisteri assuming that's her real name.

Though, just like any metropolitan city, I'd imagine each of these City-States had a mixture of races,some having greater numbers than others

Now that I think of it, other than Lolorito, there aren't any Lalafellin statues aren't there? Nald and Thal look rather Hyuran. The statue of the Warden in Qarn doesn't look like a lalafell (it also has a tail)

They're always in pairs of two so there's always the theory that they're statues of Nald and Thal, but even then, for a civilization as egotistical as the Mhachi were, I'd imagine they'd envision Nald and Thal as lalafells if they really did have a wholly lalafell population.

We can fairly safely say that least some of the Mhachi were Hyur because of those statues and the zombie black mages in various places. My baseless speculation is that there was a fairly large Highlander population within Mhach and that perhaps some of them fled to the highlands of Gyr Abania during the flood and later went on to found Ala Mhigo similarly to how Belah'dia was founded by survivors of the flood.

Given how the statues are holding a meteor fragment, I always assumed they were depictions of Rhalgr.
