I personally think he's that one senator who's a Rahab inheritor, but I've also seen some theorizing that he's Yegor Asayev. I wouldn't know what a terrorist is doing behind a distinguished prince/scientist in what is probably the Royal Institute, but we'll just have to wait and see.

But I also think he looks way too much like Gammon for him to only be an ancestor. Maybe in the original Third Period, this character was a normal Loop Octopus senator (Gakupo or not) and indeed an ancestor of Lukana, but in III' his role is essentially superseded by Gammon, since Gammon has no place of his own in this time period? I'm just now realizing this sounds a bit like the Assassin's Creed games. I don't think this particular change has an actual effect on the story either way, unlike the detail of Maria having twins instead of one fatherless child in III'. That's just my Gordian knot of thoughts about this one illustration, lol
