Oh we're not the first. The Four Lords heavily hints that Tenzen is a past incarnation of Azem's shard. There would certainly have been others. That's just the only named one we've had so far.

Entirely possible as well. I believe there was a recent interview where Yoshi-P said we weren't quite done with the Ancients yet and Dawntrail having an artifact potentially made by Azem would be an interesting way to delve more into that Ancient persona.
