OK. Some actual speculation now!

Quote:

 

Belonging to the first expeditionary batch of SRF as Edge, Crowe attained the rank of Captain for Spaceship 001: Acura at a young age of 21 years, due to his exceptional talent and leadership abilities. He has been childhood friends with Edge and Reimi, and the latter two treat him as their elder brother. He is a hardworking and determined man who will tackle any obstacles in his way. His quick thinking allows him to remain calm, analyzes and solves the many situations he's put in. Crowe's reason for joining the SRF is to help open a new chapter for Earth and mankind, after the depressing effects of the devastating war.

Crowe! Is he evil? Sure, the bio says that he was childhood friends with Edge and Reimi but so was Jowy from Suikoden II! Jowy betrays his two childhood friends and becomes king of the enemy kingdom for some kind of moral conundrum.

This also might turn out to be a Seifer-type situation: "Seifer is a classmate and rival of Squall, and can only be controlled by the player during the Dollet sequence. He acts as a mirror to Squall in many respects, having dated Rinoa before she met Squall, and assuming a leadership position among his friends." Mirror to Edge has not been confirmed but it's quite possible.

Let's not forget: he looks like pure evil! He resembles Trance Kuja from Final Fantasy IX who just happened to be evil. Also, Galleon from Suikoden V was one of the Queen's Knights in the beginning and he too looked evil. Surprise surprise, he was one of the only two knights who betrayed you!

Also, he has apparently not been confirmed as playable and has not been seen on the Calnus yet. And we already have a benign-looking rival in the form of Arumat.
