Why different from the one in U6?[edit]

He seems a lot like Healer_(Gargoyle) to me (although, maybe no so much so if that article didn't have "Inmanilem" in boldface.) Pity we've lost our U7 transcript for now. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 20:18, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I think we should always assume in case of same name or profession of two NPCs, that these are two separate NPCs. Unless knowing they are indeed the same person, that would be the best route. After all, in real life you don't just assume that two people called "Miller" are automatically the same person.--Tribun (talk) 21:08, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
If we were talking about a human Miller on Earth, I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought. But we're talking about 2 gargoyles with the same unpronounceable name at double the length who're both healers. I also don't see anything in the two characterizations that suggest they are different. You're right, that we have to be ready for similarities between things different games being distinct and therefore this stuff has to be adjudicated. But it seems clear to me that the intent was to have a reoccurring character. In any case, we're saying that they definitely aren't the same character, which could be wrong.

My simple resoning is, as long as we don't know for sure two characters are the same person, we can't simply assume so. A name alone is not enough if it is generic (which in the case of many gargoyle names, it is).--Tribun (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
