Wait, first of all the Lemures come from a side quest away from the main story, and second of all you're going to say that you could waltz into any imperial base as a full blooded Garlean, while also bringing up the Lemures who are garleans that abandoned the empire and came to Eorzea seeking refuge? I don't think they wouldn't keep track of their soldier's faces and names. All you have to do is look at the cutscene from the very beginning of the game with Nero killing a spy to figure that out.
