What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

I mean arenvald could learn a magic job? I wouldnt be surprised if he could be a arcanist or whatever. A lot of people who were apart of the resistence probably could as resistences require organization and certain skills which could be refluffed or useful for such a job.

Then again I dont know if we knew what he did before he joined the story do we?

Well he does tell you his life story in the quests leading up to the drowned city of skalla, how he was a street rat robbing people to survive after his mom abandoned him. Then he became an adventurer. Yeah, it's not much. Also, he said he wasn't educated, so i don't think he could be an arcanist.
