What is Fandaniel's endgame here? (What angle does he have?)
Personally I doubt that Fandaniel is simply a crazy lunatic that wants to watch the world burn, now that the unsundered Ascians are gone. During the few cutscenes that we have witnessing Fandaniel as a character, he has always been theatrical to a point where it is too bizarre, which makes me actually take his theatrics not so seriously.
It seems that Zenos is actually aided quite a fair deal by Fandaniel right now. I have to imagine that the towers that appeared at the end of the most recent story patch is made by Fandaniel, not by Zenos. There's also no doubt that Fandaniel's Lunar Dragon is going to be perhaps a boss on the Moon. If that's the case that means Fandaniel will likely survive all the way until we're Lv 90. I've heard that the Lunar bosses will also be part of the new raid series, which means that Fandaniel will likely stick around even in the endgame for Endwalker. But I don't see Zenos surviving all the way to the Moon, much less to the endgame.
This begs the question: Is Fandaniel actually serving under Zenos? Does he actually think of Zenos as his master? Because if he survives longer than Zenos then he must be stronger or more cunning than Zenos. So I have to believe the answer is no. Then what are his true motives? I think his theatrics are a distraction but for the life of me I can't figure out what he is hiding. What are your theories?
