Does the "Face of the Firmament" have a name?

[mouse_marple]

There's a very handsome Elezen NPC in the Firmament who takes you to St. Roelle's dais. He is known only as "the Face of the Firmament" whilst the other Firmament attendants all have names. I was curious if anyone had seen a name for him anywhere (it will be a lot easier to write x Reader fic if I know his name...)

He's not referred to in any quests or dialogue, so his name remains a mystery to us, his purpose the only identifier we have. On the technical side of things, the npc serves the same function as other 'transport' npcs. Some of those have names, a lot of others simply do not. Usually this is because the dev team doesnt see the purpose of naming them, or they want their purpose to be extremely clear to new players.

This makes a great deal of sense, but I still hold out hope they may give him a name in an update (I'm obviously focused on important things haha)

Understandable. Though I fear they may just outright replace him with an actual aetheryte network come 5.5.

Oh nooo!!! I didn't even consider that possibility. Perhaps they didn't give him a name because we'd get too attached? Too late T-T

If as most suspect the Firmament is to become the new housing district them replacing him with an aetheryte network would make complete sense.

So uhh, he actually does get replaced, in this patch, by a fully functioning aetheryte network after the monument is put down.

Garland Tools to the rescue?

Now you can recreate him as a retainer.

And now I've actually watched a video of the place, and he's still there, on top of the aetherytes being available. So uhh, sorry for the scare?

[mouse_marple]

Lol! No worries. It has helped me prepare for the possibility still. I did see something interesting in MrHappy's discussion of Yoshi P's recent Famitsu interview MrHappy was using this unofficial translation from a Twitter user.

This bit interested me:

・5.5 will feature new custom deliveries in The Firmament. The new character will be very unique and will be related to Ishgard's High Houses.

The Face of the Firmament is not new technically, but he hasn't been named yet and he is associate with House Hailenarte (you can tell by his outfit). So maybe???
