Area Bosses & Altair Camp NPCs

No, it's like a name that's passed down apparently. Athena/Helena is the ONLY one who is a current job instructor. All the others are different. The reason Athena is alive at this point is because she is an elf and lives for a realllllllllllyyyyy long time.

Dances with Zakum is kinda confirmed in Korean.
Zakum's name in kMS is "Clench Fists and Lie Down", while Balrog's name is "Clench Fists and Stand Up"

Rios isn't in town, he's in an elin field map, and he's doing magic incantations!

Present day dark lord doesn't fit anywhere in there, though
