As an addendum to that, Lion *sas* Helsos is now Lyon *rem* Helsos, again with the previous change, have not checked to see if it is reflected in prior dialogue. Funnily enough, he is still called *sas* by the Resistance in certain cutscenes, so either this an oversight by the Lore/Localisation teams, or they are setting up the Resistance having vastly outdated/wrong information about the IVth legion. Most definitely the former.
Talking with Marsak on the subject, he has this to say. Spoilers for the Bozjan Southern Front and Castrum Lacus Latore storyline, natch:

Marsak: At present, the castrum is held by Legatus Gabranth's second-in-command, Menenius rem Lanatus, or I suppose I should say Menenius sas Lanatus, if our intelligence is to be believed. It would appear he was recently promoted to commanding officer of the legion's forces.
Marsak: Lanatus is a well-known family with a long and august lineage. That is, until they incurred the ire of the Emperor, tarnishing their name and robbing them of their position in Garlean society.
Marsak: And yet Basch van Gabranth would choose members of their family to serve under him. Mayhap he sensed their desperation to redeem their honor. If that is the case, the road to redemption is long indeed, for two generations of Lanatus have served under the Gabranths.
Marsak: A curious state of affairs considering the information recently pried from one of our prisoners. You see, Menenius is not of Garlean descent─he is an Elezen. Adoption of a non-Garlean by nobles is unprecedented.
Marsak: Only the gods know what inexplicable twist of fate would drive them to do such a thing, but I can understand why they would remain at the side of one who seeks the discarded and otherwise undesirable.
Marsak: Menenius serves as their chief intelligence officer, and as you might imagine, the greater part of his time is spent recruiting and dispatching spies, plotting how best to subvert their enemies.
Marsak: It yet remains to be seen if Misija was a spy from the start, or if they persuaded her to turn against us, but I have no doubt that what has happened was all according to his plans.
Marsak: What I find more concerning, however, is how they are still able to recruit more soldiers to their cause with their empty promises of a new nation.
Marsak: We would do well not to underestimate them, Blade Rabanastre. There is no telling what they may attempt next to thwart us.


I've not found similar info on Lyon, but perhaps he was demoted alongside Menenius's promotion.
