    From the way the alternate worlds have been presented - evolving separately since they split, with different cultures and races - I think it's logically very unlikely that we would encounter duplicate people. That's 12,000 years of every single person in your family tree finding the same partner - implausible to happen once, let alone for a whole group of people, especially when the world they live in is so different to the Source.

    I'll be disappointed if we get alternate versions of people - it simply shouldn't happen unless the split was recent and the worlds are mostly identical.

    From a realistic standpoint, you'd be very likely correct, and as I said there's no substantial evidence yet to suggest there even will be alt versions of characters. But this is also a fantasy setting, so I'm aware that "suspension of disbelief" does make these alts somewhat of a possibility. Either way, I have no strong feelings with whatever path they choose on the matter. However, I will be interested to see what they do with the story in either case.

    I really don't think alts would work, even in this setting, at least not without a good explanation. That said, it is possible that G'raha was cloned, and then sent to the First, this explains the alternate version of a character, but the alternate version is also still from the Source. I'd consider this option quite unlikely tho, more likely is that it actually is G'raha.

    Considering were going to an alternate world and not a parallel one, means the likelyhood of us finding duplicate is rare, except maybe Rowena, we know she's gonna appear somehow, lol. That being said until further information is gathered, it's not unlikely that the "mysterious man/Miqo'te" isn't our G'raha Tia. The biggest hint is he knows who we are, even the Warriors of Darkness didn't know who we we're until we showed proof. Secondly, we know now, and it was hints way back when that the Crystal Tower can trancend dimensions, which given it's source material should of been a given in hindsight. G'raha said he was going to sleep until the time came to reopen the tower. But that has been some time, and we don't know if he was summoned to the tower on the first during his "slumber". Plus I've seen this a few times but I don't think he's a clone, like others have speculated. His story depicts him as a natural desendent of the Allagans. Whether some Allagans were Miqo'te or not, because of the Allagan creation debate, or if he is just a very diluted mixed breed is debatable.

    Personally though, I am glad to see him return for 2 reasons. 1, he was a really interesting character, that I enjoyed interacting with. And 2, we finally have our first male Miqo'te main character, it only took 3 expansions, lol.

    Also appologies for any spelling mistaken this tablets auto correct sucks.
