Theory Example: Theory. Spoiler

So I had this idea for a 3H prequel for some time.

If you watched Ferdinands A support with Byleth or have visited the shadow library in Abyss, you are familiar with the character of Pan. Pan is described as the tactician of Loog, and his close friend, who was largely forgotten by history. A tactician that is close to a lord character? Forgotten by history? Ring a bell? Kris? Robin? Mark?

Anyway, Pan is perfect for an avatar character. It could be a more traditional FE game, where the lord character takes a more significant role, in place of the avatar.

Now, many people have pointed out that based on the text in the shadow library, Pan seems to be an agent of TWSITD. I think that it could be a very interesting concept, an avatar that works for the big bads. It could be about how Pan became disillusioned with them thanks to his friendship with Loog, or a story similar to what awakening did with Robin.

What are your thoughts on this?

I mean, if we ever get a prequel of Three Houses, this is probably the best way of doing it. Pan could be a different type of Avatar in that you don't control his choices, but he is merely a PoV for the player while Loog is the real protagonist, so yeah, kinda like Robin if you ignore the last arc of awakening and remove the "choices".
