By chance is he around the Azim Steppe questline or farther ahead?
There is a bit of the Auri creation myth that speaks of Azim fashioning an Avatar to walk among his and Nhamaa's children. Which I felt implies that Azem summoned something akin to Zodiark and Hydealyn. Sure it may just be bits of misremembered tribal lore, but eh. Something about it may ring true.
Cool.
