Crow, while not in attendance was mentioned by a young Elezen.  Dark hair and while young in face weary in the eyes.  He lacks proper sleep and claims to be Crow’s messenger.  Leonnaux is his name.  The vocal annoyance from the Quicksand yestersun mentioned him while I was being introduced to ‘Birdy’
