Lore Book Revelations

[Theodric]

It's hard to imagine how Zenos could be 'different', especially since 3.4 dropped a line about how the new guy in charge of Ala Mhigo is much less merciful than Gaius. I could see that statement involving bias, however, especially since it came from the Ala Mhigan Resistance who aren't exactly known for their pristine morality. Personally I'm hoping that he remains loyal to his homeland and people first and foremost but isn't against working alongside the Warrior of Light and Scions if it means dealing with a bigger threat/reaching a compromise. I have a feeling he's going to be either the 'Gabranth' or 'Vayne' of 4.0 given the heavy inspiration that will seemingly be taken from FFXII since he leads the XIIth Legion.

I, too, would like to see Regula survive beyond 3.5. I prefer him to Nero - Regula is less devious and more honourable and most importantly he's actually concerned with serving his homeland and people. Nero strikes me as the type who would defect in a heartbeat to save his own skin.

As an aside, I'm curious as to who the Emperor's wife is and whether or not she is still alive. There's an offhand comment in the lore book regarding the Imperial Palace in Garlemald - stating that the Emperor's wife resides there. Encountering her at some point would be rather interesting.
