Oh my.

Wow, I was going to say that's quite the twist until I read on.

Because I could have sworn that Nael had a male's voice through 1.0 unless he just wasn't voiced at all. They made no mistake in making livia female in body as well, so I was a tad confused. Then I realized, like in dragon age, Nael's physical form is merely a manifestation of something from the void.

So as it is, that is Nael, sort of, just possessed by something or someone similar.

Well, to be fair

The thing "she" becomes does look a lot like a succubus (disappointing IMO), so I guess that could explain the whole female thing if he was possessed or w/e. Or, maybe it was a woman all along since we never did see his/her face, and the male voice was a result of some Garlean technology within the helmet.

There's also a matter of Bradamante, which he was supposed to have named after a warrior maiden he killed. Perhaps he never "killed" her at all, and merely took on a new identity for whatever reason.
