It'd be great if we simply met someone and joined them on a side quest or similar and find out that they're Ascian during that side-quest, and that they simply decided that they didn't care about Hyadaelyn. Or Zodiark. Or the Convocation of Fourteen. Or 'restoration' anymore. Not an antagonist - just someone who no longer shared the motivation that drove the others we've met thus far and decided to just mind their own business and live a quiet life (at least until whatever happens that would result in a side-quest of them meeting, and having to reveal themselves, to the WoL).
I don't want to spoil any specifics since you probably haven't done it yet, but this is a thing in the game Including the amnesia.

There is an ascian -one of the convocation- who is not only indifferent towards the Hyd/Zod thing, but a stalwart ally of ours. Pity only in a sidestory.
