So Naadir appears in both V and VII right? And he looks UNRECOGNIZABLE between the games.

But here's the thing. On the right, him all rotted and stuff? That's what he looked like 100 YEARS BEFORE HE BECAME THE PRETTY BOY WITH SKIN ON THE LEFT. So naturally, I blame bad writing UNTIL I REMEMBER: HIS BIOGRAPHY ALSO CHANGES IN THAT 100 YEARS.

And NGL his VII bio gives serious "Heresh has shit mental health care so he's not dealing with his body dysmorphia the best" vibes, so I begin to think, "Holy fuck he did it. He finally got ghost HRT." But just to be sure I check the ghost- HEY WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR TO HIM IN V (WHISPY WIND BLOWN HAIR PRETTY MUCH THE SAME COLOR AS THEIR SKIN, PURE GREEN EYES, BULKY METAL JEWELRY/CHAINS), AND WHAT ELSE? KASPAR'S CONFIMATION ON HOW GHOSTS ARE MADE IN THAT GAME:

AND NAADIR'S TRAIT IN V IS LITERALLY SOUL HUNTER, HE'D HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT TO KEEP HIMSELF CHAINED TO THE PHYSICAL PLANE. AND IN VII HE WAS A GHOST CONJURER MEANING HE'D PROBABLY KNOW HOW TO TURN HIMSELF INTO A GHOST.
