The Garlean Emperor? (Patch 2.4 spoilers)

[lololink]

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

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.

Or Bradamante named her halberd after herself, and Darnus took it as a trophy.

Anyway. Whoever that guy is he is a very nice outfit. Perhaps Jinra-Geki is right and he is simply a one scene wonder to show how awesome Nael is, but still I'm very interested in seeing how he factors into the fight against Shiva.

Actually... maybe Darnus IS Bradamante before she went all out cosplaying a guy.

Maybe her father always wanted a son and treated her like crap.

Maybe it is some Garlean succession rules that no females can have position of power in the Military.

The warrior maiden is her all along.

Except Nael remarks that the body he resides in SCoB end is not his body.

Nael deus Darnus also refers to Nael van Darnus as a male. It sees itself as a separate being.

I'd wager that it sees it's self as a seperate being because it knows it's just an Aetheiric clone of Nael and dosn't pretend to be the Origenal. After all, Neal is Dead. and as far as I know (Having not cleared final coil) Louisoux is also gone and what we see of him is mearly a Clone as well.
