SPOILER Could we be Bob?

Anathema says that something about us had been hidden from both her and the Beasts of Influence. Something to do with our power. I understand that we can only master 1 weapon in comparison to Bob's 4 but perhaps in the mindwipe or whatever happened he could have lost his capability. Maybe we aren't Bob but rather 1/4 (1/5 if shaman is retconned into his powers) of his soul in a new body, I mean 16 years is enough for a human to grow to an age capable of combat and crimes sufficient to be mindwiped. Anathema also claims that our final goal is to defeat Ba'kal, Bobs archnemesis.

Also, as an added lore question... could Qira beat Anathema? I mean if the only reason we best her is due to her inhibitor, could an unbound Qira defeat her? On top of that, what is Qira? How is she so strong without being one of the Beasts scions (maybe she is Saphanis' og scion, the one that chased the Olm)?

 

Qira is Qira

Also I don't think so but interesting take.

 

Crackpot theory of my own, didn't Anathema say that the darkness had grown much stronger in the last twenty years? The Parasite is gradual change so I doubt that it's referring to the Decay. Bob disappeared around twenty years ago from what I remember, and it's theorised that he went either into the expanse or the Realm of Dern. I don't think it's impossible that Bob would choose to join darkness, if Saphanis was able to persuade him against the light. He already is opposed to the corruption, so joining Dern could provide a way for him to rid Wynn of corruption if Orphion were completely destroyed and in that manner, the War of the Realms were stopped. I also doubt that Saphanis would be averse to lying to Bob and saying that they would refrain from turning Wynn to the Darkness.

I guess Anathema could be referring to Bak'al as well.
