At the End of an Era I was content to write both Nael van Darnus and Louisoix Leivelleur off as casualties and was adamantly against them returning in A Realm Reborn in any sort of living fashion. (Even flashbacks, I argued, would cheapen it.)

I was so convinced of their death (especially Darnus, man, dude dispersed into the aether) that when I learned they weren't dead "dead" but dead-dead-mostly-dead I flipped my lid in excitement. So, you know, they've shown themselves to be willing play fast and loose with some degrees of mortality and I'm willing to entertain all possibilities for now. I won't cry myself to sleep when Gaius is revealed to be a rotting corpse in Northern Thanalan, but I would exactly kick and scream if he was shown alive.

(I actually had the same argument for Ysale until 3.3, and realistically I think anyone with a proper grave shouldn't return either but I digress...)
