Point recognized on the Alberic line; I forgot about that, mostly because I mentally shorthand the ARR DRG storyline as 'Heavensward but made over a weekend on a low budget'.

Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily 'the Azure Dragoon is the head of the order' and more 'the Azure Dragoon is currently the head of the order, and is usually pretty well-regarded'. Not always the leader, but often the leader, and always respected. Heustienne ain't an Azure Dragoon (although granted, that's partly because of that point I put in spoiler tags).

It's worth noting that at the time of the game, the Order of the Dragoon is very small as far as it usually is historically; its number is never huge, but it's usually much higher than the 'like, six' that it's currently at. So we can't take its current state as indicative of how it always is, and when an organization compresses as hard as that, someone wearing multiple hats that don't normally go together is pretty common.
