I might be out of the loop here but did we ever learn whoch of these Ascians "Travanchet" was ? Or did I miss a whole plot line entirely ? My memory is that he was the one giving the magic trumpet to Mide in the Alexander storyline (magic trumpet tha the stole from Yshtola I think ?)
For the Pandaemonium raids I don't really see Laha coming back, but rather something like us entering and Ascian facility / tech / evil place on the moon that used to be under Lahabrea's control. And of course it won't go well and we will have to do something
I think Travanchet was just a lower-ranked black mask Ascian, i.e a random person with the Echo who they uplifted as a minion, and not one of the Convocation.
All indications are that from the 2.0 worldview, in 1.0 "The Reaper" was Lahabrea and everyone else was a black-mask risen by Lahabrea. (So far.) So the others as we see them (Travanchet, Corguevais, and whoever was working in Gridania, which I believe to be Dunstan but they won't say that because he's a hero of the Calamity now, but you could still say that if you just claim the kagura cured him, or maybe I'm just wrong) were black-masks wearing disguise corpses.
Travanchet specifically, though, was confirmed by Koji to be a black-mask. Travanchet isn't even the Ascian's name, it was the dead Elezen's real name. Koji wouldn't confirm the reaper was Lahabrea that day, probably because they were still planning to use it in the end of 3.0, which was upcoming at the time.

Lahabrea as the great scientist he is, he could have create clones (and those from Emet-Selch) or illusions of himself in his secret base, I don't know.
That's disappointing.
I thought he'd be more important than that (i.e. being a red-mask), considering he was present back in 1.0 and featured in a cameo flashback for the Alexander raid series.
Oh well...

Forever waiting on *new* Egis/summons (e.g. Ramuh-Egi).
Hmm, ya know... what if he did clone himself, just not his body but his soul? Wouldn't that be kinda like the Resonance?

Are the other ascians beside Fandaniel worth worrying about tho ?
Many may bein the same situation as Gaia - they "respawned" but since all of the unsundered are gone, who knows if they have their memories or are living their lives normally, only caring for coffee biscuits ?
Yes the are worth worrying about.Are the other ascians beside Fandaniel worth worrying about tho ?

The Ascians associated with Gaia were the ones defeated by Ardbert. But there was a cutscene in ARR that shows the whole group, so minus the ones we've defeated and the ones defeated by Ardbert and Fandaniel, the rest are MIA. All of which can have different motives and potential avenues to complicate the story.
I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them (Altima maybe?) just didn't bother with the whole thing and decided to live out a comfortable life elsewhere. With their powers, they could easily make by as court magicians, seers, shamans, etc. They'd be set for life if they found the right people willing to accept them.Yes the are worth worrying about.
