I could never figure out of the twelfth was to refer to something in the Ascians in general, or mark which they were loyal to, or whether they were all twelfth because, in the minor arcana, the twelfth position is the Knight, as in the Knights of Darkness.
Or maybe...if we consider that these particular underlings were all followers of Lahabrea specifically, and he
(if we go by his FFXII equivalent) is the Scion of Light associated with the sign of Pisces (the 12th Zodiac)...
we can at least assume that the numbering refers to the Overlord any given Lesser Ascian is associated with.
