3.1 MSQ Reaction [SPOILERS]

[CyrilLucifer]

In reality, though, I think it was Elidibus' doing. The two worked very closely in later patches, and Elidibus was often seen trying to keep him on-mission. I think he convinced him to think bigger and heed his guidance.

Just for the sake of discussion, since we don't know either way, I'm not sure I agree with this.

The key thing here is that Elidibus may have thought he convinced Lahabrea to work with him, reigning him in from being so rash, but I don't really think that was the reality. Lahabrea's little side group from 2.0's ending seemingly has a different desire, being more hasty and forcing an early rejoining; according to 3.0's epilogue, that particular rejoining was not agreed upon by "the others," or by Elidibus, so I don't see Lahabrea as truly working with Elidibus at all other than in a temporary truce, or as a slap on the hand.

It would also explain why Elidibus would offer Urianger either the knowledge of, or possibly gifting the actual item itself, white auracite, despite seemingly being surprised at Lahabrea's 3.0 plans. He knew there was a risk of Lahabrea acting out again - just like he did.
