Question (includes analysis) Does that say that they're all the same person?!(Spoilers of the Nod krai 6.6 AQ and the WQ "A long fay in the mountain" also in 6.6. Spoiler
Just like me, she was an angel created by the primordial humans, born with the instinct to guide living beings.
-Nicole
Nicole explain us that that Angel are the Primordial Human craetion.
The problem is that we always has been told that the angel were the HP/Phanes was their creator.
So here comes the theory:
Phanes = HP = The Primordial Human
I It tells of the god of light who created a body in its own likeness, only for it to be stolen away by the king of darkness.
Thus, within that single body, the powers of light and darkness began to contend with one another. And so the primordial human, bearing both, came to possess both good and evil.
It's a lesser-known version of the primordial human myth.
-Istoria
So after we beat Melanta, Istoria told us that the god of light ( Phanes/ HP) create a body that have been stole by the king of darkness. That body is the body of the primordial Human.
So what if the Primordial Human wasn't only a Phanes creation but also phanes like what if they create themselves?
It will totally align with the Title of Protogonos( before the sun and the moon) = the first born which could mean " the first creation of Phanes" who is ... Phanes themselves.
So maybe the difference between the title are the role that they take in each situation What's your opinions?
Inspired of one of Aiynao's theories ( french toutuber)

Interesting to note that the term Nicole used in Chinese is 原初之人, which is the same one used by Istoria when he told one version of the myth. Melanta used 原人. In Narzissenkreuz's notes talking about Descenders and how "Narayana" also means "primordial humans, he used 原初之人 as well.
Albedo is said to be a 原初之人 in both his story and in Nicole's voice line about him. At the end of Albedo's story quest, he discovers that the Traveler is made by a similar material as he is. This seems to be connecting the Traveler to the same concept that they are both primordial beings.
In another converged possibility, Albedo was the "Primordial Human" who traveled through worlds, recording and creating all. However, once that journey reached its end, no one would have been able to guarantee whether he would choose destruction or salvation. Luckily, you're the one who embarked on the journey this time.
Although I do think Nicole is referring to Phanes when she said the line, she's referring to them in a different manner.

In chinese they use « 原初之人 », which literally mean « Primordial Human », but it could also be used for « Primordial Being » in some cases, so there is the possibility that in this text, primordial Human is a translation issue.
However, Phanes being the « Primordial Human » also work. Because the Primordial Human is not a Human.
In the Kabbalah, the Primordial Human is called Adam Kadmon. He is not human. I will cite Wikipedia :
« In Lurianic Kabbalah, the description of Adam Kadmon is anthropomorphic. Nonetheless, Adam Kadmon is divine light without vessels, i.e., pure potential. In the human psyche, Adam Kadmon corresponds to the yechidah, the collective essence of the soul. »
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Kadmon
The myth about th god of light having his body stolen by the lord of darkness is just a parabole, it is not to be taken as truth, it’s just a way to explain why humans have both good and evil in them while being created by the Heavenly Principles (being the Primordial Human).
Other characters are being called Primordial Human, like Ajax and Albedo, because they were based on this heretical myth, and are « fused » with Abyss in them in some ways

To be honest, it felt weird when I saw Nicole talking about the angels being created by the Primordial Human, especially in english, for some reason they used plural for humans, which is not the case in other languages. But when I saw the origin of the Primordial Human it made more sense, especially knowing that the Primordial Human was not really Human

primordial humans
This is a mistranslation. Chinese says angels were created by the primordial one.

It's a mistranslation, they meant primordial being/one
Also in Nicole's voice line about albedo she calls him primordial human
"In another converged possibility, Albedo was the "Primordial Human" who traveled through worlds, recording and creating all. However, once that journey reached its end, no one would have been able to guarantee whether he would choose destruction or salvation"
