Added spoiler to Lahabrea's The Sociopath.


* TheSociopath: Textbook example. Nothing and no one will stop him in the goals he pursues. He is completely [[LackOfEmpathy unfazed]] by the death of one of his companions, even when said death happened right before his eyes (and despite having fuzed with her mere moments before), and doesn't seem to really care about his companions in general. He is an expert at manipulation (or, at least, [[SmugSnake believes himself to be one]]), thoroughly enjoys playing with people and making them do his bidding, and is so full of himself you will want to punch him repeatedly in the face.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: [[spoiler:Of the three Ascians whose true names are known, all three are named after Greek gods. Emet-Selch is Hades, Mitron is Artemis, and Loghrif is Gaia.]]
** ''Endwalker'' adds several more, [[spoiler: Fandaniel's true name being Hermes, while Elidibus's is Themis, and Lahabrea's wife and son were Athena and Erichthonios. This implies that Lahabrea was Hephaistos, which was indeed the case.]]

** He calls Hydaelyn a parasite; much, ''much'' later on in the middle of ''Shadowbringers'', it's revealed [[spoiler:by Emet-Selch that both Zodiark and Hydaelyn are in fact elder Primals, with the latter taking the former's spot as the Will of the Star, and what we know of primals states that they are inherently parasitic, sustaining themselves with the aether of the land]].

* DayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:The 8-man raid series of ''Endwalker'', Pandaemonium, has a lot to do with him, as its creation was in part of the Words of Lahabrea. Though how much he actually is involved is much murkier due to the true mastermind's intentions]].

* DidntSeeThatComing: Lampshaded by Y'shtola in 6.5 when [[spoiler:they discover she had directly pointed Durante to the shard of Zodiark on the Moon, had him kill the Watcher and got the shard released, only for the unstoppable amount of Darkness to overwhelm the world in a Flood of Darkness. The Ascians were still fresh to the Rejoinings at the time so they hadn't figured out all the "mechanics" of needing an equal calamity in the Source to be a conduit for all that darkness; with nowhere for it to go and not knowing it ''needed'' to go, Igeyorhm botched the outcome. This explains why Emet-Selch never attributes blame to her, as not even the Paragons could've seen this ahead of time.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: ''Encyclopedia Eorzea'' explains that Igeyorhm was the Ascian in charge of events in [[spoiler:the Thirteenth Shard. She crushed the forces of light in that world so suddenly and completely, it triggered a flood of darkness that nullified the Shard's aether and converted that realm into the Void, which is useless for the Ascians' purposes. Further explained in 6.2 and 6.5 patches, Zero describes her perspective of the Thirteenth's history, where the Ascians had only just started their summoning methods to cause a calamitous war. However, Zero makes it out to be that the Ascians were warded off and their plans temporarily thwarted... until [[HumansAreBastards the darkness-empowered mankind sought too much power]] and caused the Flood of Darkness. It didn't help that Igeyorhm was manipulating Durante-turned-Golbez to break the seal on Zodiark, only to overflow the world with darkness without anything to safely leak. In essence, The Void ending up as it currently is is due to the Asican's trial and error with the general populus easily influenced, with Igeyorhm acting as the middle-man.]]
