SE, what is the vision and identity of Scholars?

[Vyriah]

I "believe" Alphinaud to be their prominent representative in the MSQ.

You mean, that guy who keep hiring traitors ?
No wonder how the job turned like this.

Harsh! ;-p

Technically both Alphinaud and Urianger are Arcanists as all the Scions are base classes with the exception of Alisaie, who got herself a RDM job crystal from your wandering cat-boy trainer (seen and mentioned during the MSQ). Granted Yugiri and Gotetsu are NIN and SAM, but they aren't actually Scions. Y'sthola is a CNJ, Thancred a Rogue, Papalymo was a THM, Moenbryda a MRD, and Yda a PGL (though she might be a MNK now, it's uncertain).

That being said, Alphinaud takes on a healer role in the SB MSQ, and Urianger was more a DPS in his appearances in HW MSQ, so if they ever do advance in jobs Alphy will probably go the SCH route. He's certainly the closest we have to representation until someone can figure out what Krile's supposed to be.

He's also complete bullshit as an ACN and casts what I can only assume is Summon V in the SB MSQ.
