However, if true, it would explain why Sothe couldn't promote in PoR (the only pre-promote who couldn't). We might also find out who the heck he was looking for. And, IIRC, this would be the first time a thief is the main character in a FE game.
Well, the reasoning for why it (with 99% accuracy) would be Sothe: Same hair, eyes, clothing style, pose & weaponry, the muffler, etc.
It would be a great way to explain why he couldn't promote (lord in hiding? related to the family of daien? from the country we didn't hear of?) and his story wasn't even touched on in the game.

Well, for one he is featured in the cutscene (and looking at nine, who outside of Ike and Mist were featured in the FMVs?). Also, he's one of the only two official art released. Granted, Titania's art was released with Ike's when 9 was announced and she wasn't a Lord, but she was an important character.
Have we even had a FE game with only a female Lord?
