Ahldbhar - In Gridania?

[Mtoto_Wamoto]

I'm gonna throw my hat in with the theory this could be Ahldbhar, though if it truly is him and he is thinking on his master, I don't think he's thinking of Louisoix. Recall that the story goes that Ahldbhar turned and joined the dark sorcerers who plagued the land in the Sixth Umbral Era. From what I could find, I couldn't find anything that explained what happened to Ahldbhar after he switched sides, and for all we know, he could still be working alongside the dark mages of yore and his master may be the Ascian we've been fighting against.

Further, this could be an easter egg. We also found Cid to be in phase 3 in the form of a grave keeper just north of Camp Drybone. His name is never stated, but if we look at him from under his hood, it clearly is Cid with his beard.



Edit: It could also be Obi Wan.

And the goggles^^

But it's not an Easter Egg, it's a major plot point! The main story quests that involve him are clearly lining him up for his 'unveiling' and redemption.
