Is Zenos Zodiark?

[Riastrad]

Every soul is just aether ripe for the reaping. While Zenos seems to want Zodiark to mantle his power, I suspect Fandaniel wants to use it to unlock the source of the Final Days. Zodiark can apparently rewrite the very laws of the Star, which could mean reviving whatever caused the keening which drove the Ancients mad.

Fandaniel shares a connection to Hashmal from various Ivalice Alliance Final Fantasies. In Tactics, Hashmal led the Lucavi in causing multiple wars to use the souls of the dead for a summoning of their master, Ultima. While explored in the Ivalice raid series briefly, we can see the Convocation member, Altima struggling with something involving their soul turning, the cause being unknown.

I feel Zenos is not going to be the main threat. The Telophoroi (Fandaniel is not alone) will be. We have more than a few sundered Ascians running around.

Take note of The Night Star. I think he may be the actual leader. Elidibus's Final words echo his the most.

It doesn't help that he is also tied to Zeromus, the final boss of FFIV.
