** Wencit tried and failed to prevent the Carnadossans from conquering Norfressa. He then traveled back to the fall, not preventing it in order to make sure the resulting timeline played out in ways he could anticipate, but snatched Torren Swordarm or his one loyal son away at the last second, putting him into stasis for nearly 1400 years until the time he could be best utilized...as Kenhoden.

** A time traveling son of Bazhell and Leeana, whose come back from another future to try and make a branch of reality better. Hence why he knows when and where to be, and to place portal runes hundreds of years ahead of time. It's already suggested a human-hdrani hybrid is very dangerous if they have wizard blood. And Leeana's family is old Sothari nobility, which are descended from the Sword Brothers, who included members of the Ottovar family. So Leeana just so happens to be descended from the the legendary wizard founders of the old empire, and marries someone who if she has a wizard child with, will make a wild wizard. And Wencit has constant veils up, easily disguising his true appearance, and his ears.

*** Wencit has mentioned that there ''have'' been documented cases of time travel. The all-time record was going back in time one week, and the man in question spent the entire week in his study, observing events through a scrying stone without ever interacting with the outside world.

*** If Wencit is a time traveler, then he came from a bad future. In ''Sword Brother'' Wencit mentions that even attempting time travel is something that would only be done by someone who is either completely insane or extremely desperate.

* The Dark is planning to kill Trisu; this is pretty certain, as we've heard the Dark agents discussing it amongst themselves. The Voice's plan, however, would be most effective if Trisu were alive. If he were dead, the matter of his guilt or innocence in the attack on Quaysar would be mostly academic. If he were alive, however, the matter becomes considerably more difficult. He becomes either the innocent victim of the [[StrawFeminist Straw Feminists]] or a CompleteMonster who murdered the representatives of a Goddess. No matter what the authorities do with him, they will set off a firestorm.
** This isn't entirely true. If someone dies without being officially charged/convicted it tends to really kick off the conspiracy theories since now they can have the theory that one side or the other killed him for their own nefarious purposes. Either the [[StrawFeminist Straw Feminists]] murdered an innocent man to cover up their own crimes or the [[StrawMisogynist Straw Misogynists]] had him killed rather than be forced to admit that one of their own was a CompleteMonster.

*** Heck the Human-Hdrani Hybrid theory could hold true even without Bazhell and Leena being his parents. It would certainly explain his power level and long life (although admittedly we don't know how long a pure human wild wizard would live).

[[WMG: Leanna will become a Champion of Isvaria]]
* In ''War Maid's Choice'', Isvaria speaks with Leanna and gives her a token. This token is never used for anything during the book and is only mentioned a couple of times after that point. But it clearly implies that the Goddess of Timely Death has plans for her...

** Wencit's sword is the Sword of the South. Mentioned by WordOfGod as one of the major heirlooms of the House of Ottovar we have no clue what powers it has (if any) but it's entirely plausible that it could be granting Wencit additional powers beyond what he would naturally possess.

** Wencit is a Champion of Tomanāk. Tomanāk gifts his champions with magical swords and combining the powers of a champion (include at least limited precognition) with his own wild magic would definitely make him a lot more effective, particularly if no one realized that he was a champion. It would also explain why he knows so much about what the gods are up to (he knows that Tomanāk is trying to recruit Behzell almost before Behzell does).

* "Wencit" is not a single wizard but actually a composite of all the White Wizards who gave their lives to hold back the Dark in Kontovar long enough for the evacuation to Norfressa.

* Well when she realized she looked at his sword implying that the sword was of particular importance to his true identity. That suggests a few possibilities:
** Wencit is a Champion of Tomanāk.

** Wencit is a champion of one of the other gods, possibly Orr. While swords seem to be more Tomanāk's thing the rest of the argument for Wencit being a Champion still holds true and a champion of Orr in particular would seem to match his potential as the overall guardian of Norfressa.
