I agree with you. That NPC is way too good to be used in this event. This leads to 2 questions: Why would they make such a nice NPC that has absolutely no relation to the context of the event? Why is the event about dragon eggs, when A) the evan patch is over and B) this patch is about the anniversary.
What is a "Shadow knight"? Who knows, but i definitely think of the masteria factions when i hear that. This leads me to believe one thing: This event was either rushed, or shoddily made for the sake of being able to work on other things. Because the shadow knight rene has no link to what he's used for, that also leads me to believe that he was taken from the masteria project to be used for this. I think the shadow knight rene will return after this event is over.
I think they wanted it for the Evan patch, but something went wrong. I remember that the quest for it started right before a SC during Evans, so who knows.
I agree tho, the character design almost screams Masteria. Hopefully though, it isnt just being used because Masteria is being abandoned...
