Theory: We are Azem

[Cleretic]

Yeah, we're 9/14ths. Source + 7 shards already rejoined + Ardbert. So we technically have most of Azem's original soul already.

I don't remember as much about Ramza but wasn't Tenzen's soul locked away with that frenzied auspice until the end of the Four Lords questline? That would kind of preclude him from being an Azem shard. I think he was just a wol.

Yeah, Tenzen and Ramza's souls are both currently accounted for, and as a result cannot be our previous incarnations.

Not to mention, us being a reincarnation of Tenzen would actually ruin the story around him. Not only would it devalue his sacrifice to seal Koryu, but you'd go from the Auspices treating you as similar to him and occasionally mistaking you for him because of similar vibes, to the Auspices actually being factually right but just... not bringing that up after a point for some reason?
