Here is a little fun fact Nael Van Darnus is most likely NOT Pure Blood Garlean because he himself could manipulate Aether and according to what little lore we have on the White Raven he has Allagan blood meaning that somewhere in his family line was some great almighty Allagan sorcerer of sorts. Gaius Van Baelsar is pureblood Garlean so he must use Magitek in order to fight those who use Aether I wonder what it would be like if Nael and Gaius went into a one on one battle against each other.
