Who is Lord Synarr Diadalos?

So, I was recently watching the msot recent Paizo Live, and in it Erik Mona's paizo live spoiler is that:

I would pay particular attention to the company that some of the prominent elder generation of Blakroses have been keeping recently, perhaps behind their husband's back, and that may lead to some additional clues about the true identity of a particularly charming gentleman who was first introduced... well, I'm not going to say when he was first introduced, that's too many clues. [...] Its a BIGGG deal.

So I did some digging on this big deal and I am 100% certain that he is referring to lord Synarr Diadalos, a new friend of Lady Dhrami Blakros, the wife of the curator of Blakros Museum. He was first introduced I believe in this tale of lost omens where it is shown that he is a potential starstone aspirant. He is also listed in the villians section of the NPC index at the end of the Absalom book, despite nothing obviously villanous being mentioned about him in either source. He is also listed as a level 19 human wizard.

His house, Starspine Manor, mysteriously appeared in the Ivy district one day, pushing apart two houses that had previously been together.This house was also the site of a large and popular masquerade ball last year which he has apparently promised to make an annual tradition.

The Absalom book also says he has been spending time with Tontartigan Dellby, the headmaster of Absalom's Endiron School, for some unknown reason. he is also a fashion enthusiast, a patron of the arts, and a regular customer at several renowned Absalom restaurants.

Finally, the most interesting thing I picked up about him is this line, written at the end of the Open Game License section at the very end of the book:

Lord Synarr is not who he says he is!

So what do you all make of this? This is clearly building to something big, but what specifically I have no idea. Maybe Snyarr will succeed and Golarion will have a new god some time in the near future? Maybe that masquerade ball he's planning will be an adventure?

He's almost certainly Razmir.

what makes you say that?

There's only so many 19th level wizards who love masks and have aspirations of godhood in the setting.

And human too. Yes I was thinking the same thing.

I mean who knows maybe spöilers is him? ;P

But yeah hmm that could be just coincidence, but evidence does line up it as plausible, just look at this reddit post's comment section in detail. The date of his annual ball matches

Note that StevenHammond called it out in the comments on the blog story linked above. That was early june 2019.

I guess our friend took that decision after accepting he would not get another dose of the Thuvian Elixir.

And the cloak in the picture of the blog, though seen from behind, does look like our guy's style.

[KaiBlob1]

yeah looking at the reddit post it seems obvious, especially with that fact that the ball happens on the same day as Razimiran was founded.

What do y'all think this is leading to? Maybe an AP or a high-level standalone adventure. I hope its not a pathfinder society thing.

What's wrong with Pathfinder Society?!

In all seriousness, probably not. It sounds like a higher-level adventure than PFS does, and I doubt think the Bull-Man wants his favorite villian to be confined to a PFS season.

PFS does have plot hooks involving the Blakros' and Razmiran seperately, but still no.

Since this is Bulmahn's baby, I'd say we're more likely to get more Razmir content than other stuff, but who knows. Given NotGD, maybe high-level Standalone Adventure?

For the high-level starstone stuff I had my bets on the Ashen Man. He was foreshadowed in the copyright text of an early AP and now his name is showing up a few times in the Absalom book.

Spoiler:

There is also that mention in the true rumors section about Absalom city officials kidnapping potential successful starstone hopefuls to stop another god from ascending. That has some disturbing connotations that I'm sure we'll DEFINITLY see in an AP.
