Going further, let's imagine that you knew NOTHING about Roblox's history and only had exposure to the stuff in-game. Okay. Even then, I feel like it's cartoonishly obvious that they're the same person???

Demo 3 is the only chapter where we never speak to or even see the Guardian of the sword we're collecting. The only time he appears is when Ghost Chef is recollecting his encounter with him, but even then that's tangential.

Why? Because Shedletsky's injured, and it would be too obvious that they're the same guy.

In that same demo, Shedletsky literally states that he and Telamon are "pretty close". And at the beginning of Demo 5, Shedletsky says that he'll be meeting us later to help. Shedletsky never shows up... but TELAMON does.
