If he was going to do this anyways, what exactly was the point in going to the First at all?
It makes me wonder if Zenos didn't exist in the 8UC timeline because I had the same question. It'd also mean that timeline was doomed no matter what since the only way the WoL was able to defeat Meteion was with Zenos' assistance. Given that a lot of his plot was dropped, like why he'd been dreaming about Amaurot since childhood or what Emet 'found a way' to do with him, it makes me wonder if he was meant to be more integral to the plot.
