Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

I'm half expecting for there to be a twist and Eric is actually the Lahabrea we're familiar with, and that's why there's such a discrepancy by how competent Lahabrea seemed in the past to how he was in the present.

I only doubt it because Erich is unskilled with anything other than binding magicks, whereas Lahabrea is skilled with fire and creation. If anything though, Erich may be the one whom The Watcher is based on, since The Watcher was there dealing with Zodiark's cell the entire time, something Erich would be incredibly familiar with having lived in Pandaemonium most of his life.
