The Garlean Emperor? (Patch 2.4 spoilers)

[zandervont]

I'm gonna go wild with speculations:
Solus found a way to revert back to youth through magitek research, with aims to resurrect Midgardsormr, as It had the power to destroy their flagship. There was some datamined stuff about 2.5. dialogue with Midgardsormr.

That added to their interest on Allagans and their way of enslaving dragons would bring them an unbeatable airforce.
And SE had something BIG planned for 2.5-3.0 almost comparable to Bahamut escaping from the Moon.
I dunno, im just a bit groggy from sleep ^^

Interesting. And it looks like Nabriales will take center stage for the Ascians this time. Two things bother me. 1. While Midgarsomr has several lines, we don't have any for Solus or anyone with a Garlean naming pattern. 2. Icehart has lines in what is supposed to be 2.5 and it is blatantly obvious that she is Shiva in disguise.

Wether it really is Solus or not it would be a total waste to kill him off-screen when he had such a beautiful concept art. Garleans seem to die with most of their story untold. Nael van Darnus also had a lot of potential in after he/she escaped tempering.
Hey, what if it is Darnus with his original body recovered?

So, a dead person that then was recreated using Aether by Bahamut, then destroyed by another of Bahamut's creation in order to shut him down would reapper? Nael is twice dead now. If she raises, she's going to become a meme.

Nael is an elezen, and that emperor looks like a highlander (unless full-blooded garleans are considered their own race, as he has the third eye).

Don't look so smug. I know what you are thinking, but the Coil of Bahamut was mearly a setback.
Did you think I would trust my future to some red eyed, pointy eared mongrel?
Oh no no no. He was merely an instrument, A stepping stone for a much bigger plan.
It all lead to this and this time you will not intervene.

Elezen? That's only a rumor that was never confirmed and honestly his mother(if his girl form is his mother) doesn't look Elezen herself.

This woman is Bradamante that gave her name to his spear. And he used Elezen only emotes during the CS and is really tall it's highly possible that he is an elezen.

Source? As far as I know her identitiy is still a mistery. ANd why would Nael kill a pureblood Garlean?

[Jinrya-Geki]

What does it matter who he is? Se has a track record for making important character background characters. We see them in one cutscene, and they disappear for most of the missions just to be defeated and only have about a paragraph of dialogue.

Happened with Guais, and all his buddies.

Happened to Ultima Weapon.

Happened to Labahrea.

Happened to Levaithan.

Happened to Sycrus Tower Emperor.

The only character that showed up multiple times, showed his clear power and strength, and had an extremely hard fight when it first came out, and then had an even harder fight come out. Which is Darnus. But this is 1.0

2.0 will just make this guy seem cool for a bit, then kill him off.

My demise accomplishes nothing! The Dragon will have you! You will drown in your own blood! The world shall burn! Aaarggghh.

(btw, Kael became a meme because of that ;()

We don't know who the woman is. Iirc, it has even been confirmed it is NOT Bradamante. The fact he uses Elezen emotes and has the same height is simply because they used an Elezen skeleton to model him. Just like Yugiri is using a Miqo'te skeleton, but will probably change once the race is released.

As for Bradamante, he did kill her. Gaius also killed a bunch of Garlean pure blood y'know. We have humans killing other humans in our world, and murder isn't really something unexpected (especially coming from Nael).

Gaius killed a lot of Garleans, he is called the Heir Killer, there could be any reason, it's not said :

Legatus of the VIIth Legion presently dispatched to the western front, van Darnus boasts distinguished parentage in his sire, a founding figure of the Garlean Empire. A ruthless man who has risen to infamy even among his own people, he draws no distinction betwixt friend and foe when met with dissent. Tales are oft told in hushed whispers of van Darnus’s swift rise to power upon the abrupt death by illness of his sire, whose body had no sooner grown cold than his closest aides were put to death.

The White Raven seems a man well-suited to such dark rumors, for it is his pet project, "Meteor," that will herald Eorzea's inevitable plunge into the Seventh Umbral Era...

Motto: Opposition must needs be put down with fire and steel.
Weapon: Bradamante—a gunhalberd said to be named for a warrior maiden he slew.

She must have been very important if he name his weapon after her, so that's why it's possible the she is the form he takes.
