Honestly, the Bard from Romancing SaGa 2 should have been number 1. Whole reference to Elore aside due to his outfit, he chronicled your journey over centuries if not over 1,000 years, leaving his instruments across the land as he travelled. Is he a god like Elore was or is he Elore himself who travelled to a new world like how the Gods of Mardias left after Saiva was defeated? Is he one of the ancient peoples like Orieve who used the same transmission of soul to new flesh? Is the bard just a man who recorded the tales of the Empire's exploits and passed them on from father to son the whole time? We will never know who this mysterious musician truly is, beyond just him telling us a story and helping the Empire.
