    Zenos has a few ticks that have lead me to this conclusion: Zenos has an ancient equivalent that journeyed with Azem.

    1. Zenos has dreams of the final days, so this is evidence he has a least a fragment of an ancient's soul.

    2. He has this weird way of calling us "his friend" pretty consistently. Now I know on the surface that's to show he values competition in combat and only sees those who can challenge him as equals. But its also set the stage for duplicitous meaning in the sense that "we were real friends" in a past life.

    3. As a significant plot hole to the Ancient narrative revolves around what was "Azem" actually doing since they didn't join the Hydaelyn or Zodiark faction, but then appears in god mythos of cultures across the star, some of which has Azem with followers. This sets up that post-sundering, Azem wandered the star fixing the woes of the world with his friends/companions (resulting in "The 12"). I would assume we'll find that fragments of "The 12" have been reincarnated as the Scions and few other key main characters, which Zenos can now be one of them. (Sorry this one isn't great evidence, but is more conjecture filling in what we don't know with what we do know).

    4. Since Fandaniel has been shown to have every intention of betrayal to Zenos; this comes from his rhetoric of "loyal" "faithful" and "in want of a new master" but then takes the body of person whose last name is "Brutus". These are all foreshadowing betrayal set ups. And when Fandaniel ultimately stabs Zenos in the back because Fandaniel got what he wanted, where does that leave Zenos?

    5. To avoid the Stormblood conclusion, taking into account point 4 (above) and the high potental of losing to the WOL again (I mean we're the hero; we win in the end), Zenos would see no other recourse then to do what he did in Stormblood after we defeat Shinryu, which is take his own life. UNLESS, he is called to a higher calling informed by knowledge gained by points 1, 2 and 3 and joins us to save the star.
