He's definitely gonna be involved in the raids this step for exactly that reason, but I suspect he's gonna be on our side, comparable to Gaia in E8 (and of course, to have him on deck to use as an antagonist somewhere in P9-12; there's no way we aren't fighting Boss Lahabrea sometime, I just don't think it's now). Given that, his lines being things like 'rest eternal' might be along the expected train of 'an attempt to revive Athena went real bad, and he has to help us put it down'. Or maybe that we're gonna fight some sort of incomplete monstrous Shadow Lahabrea and we're gonna go Persona 4 on this thing.

As an aside, learning from this that Lahabrea's voiced by Shuichi Ikeda threw me for a loop. Wow, was that a critical misuse of Char Aznable; hopefully we've got better material for him this time around!
