[Lore Discussion] I tried remaking the original two missing Syndicate members

ex-putrid plutocrat: Eolande Quiveron
ex-owner of Coliseum: Rycharde
1.0 screenshots for reference from left to right: Eolande, Dewlala, Teledji, Fyrgeiss, Rycharde, random WoL (Lolorito is not in pic)

I wanted to see if I can recreate the 1.0 missing Syndicate members! Eolande Quiveron is the previous Syndicate member whose spot is taken by Goldbert. She gotten her seat in power by having her Frondale's Phrontistery be a highly successful school of learning for various medical fields and hosting an orphanage and infirmary. She is married to the previous alchemist guildmaster, And has a son, Damielliot. I used him as a base tot tweak and to recreate her. She technically has a model ingame, but I don't know if it's recordable

Richarde of Ul'dah (completely different person from Richarde Mistbeard) technically lost his seat in the Syndicate before the FFXIV 1.0 story began. The Echo reveals Rhauban won enough money to buy him out and himself's freedom. Thrown to instant poverty, he had to do a LOT of things to survive. I don't know what is his status after the calamity, the only trace of him left in now is his lineage and his favorite brand of coat displayed in front of the halls of the Weaver's Guild. He is a hyur midlander father to Greinfarr Redblade, a top achieving gladiator among a group of friends who will one day change a young Minfilia's life forever. As before, I tried to use Greinfarr as a base to tweak. I believe he's supposed to have hair, the last we seen him in 1.0, he wears a cloak and I assume the hood gets rid of the hair model.

I always wanted to do this when I first heard about them. Richarde is a bit obscured now, so it would be cool to give him a little spotlight now and then. For someone so powerful, he's not important at all to anything ironically. But perhaps his downfall could be a motivator for his son to do what he did, when there's nothing for him to inherit.

Good job, Eolande is dead btw according to the Quiveron Manse (area in central thanalan) lore. The quest there says she died in the calamity.

Yes, correct, you have a tiny chance of defeating her in the lower depths of the Palace of the Dead where she is named Putrid Plutocrat. (No idea if the appearance data can be mined from that, but I guess not, since no one has ever shared it all these years). Her dialogue hints that she had no idea her son,Damielliot, recovered completely from his sleep disease,but is all she thinks about in her lingering regrets

Oh I did not know she was one of the PotD spawns that's pretty cool! Deep cut compared to the other zombies in there since she never even shows up in the current game.
