Which speaker is which?

So this is a question I've been asking myself since curse of Osiris (may that DLC burn in hell), specifically the web comic that came out with it. Now I'm sure I don't have to remind the lore community that CoO absolutely retconned a lot of pre-established lore, but out of everything that was changed there was one that still bothers me to this day The Speaker in the web comic doesn't act like the Speaker we met in D1 AT ALL! Now originally I thought that the Speaker in the comic was a different character entirely from the one we met in D1, as previously I believed that the title of Speaker was something passed down from one Guardian to another. But as I was going through some old Grimoire cards I found one where the Speaker was writing a letter to Osiris. In the letter he apologized about how he acted and asked for forgiveness and word from Saint-14. This would mean that the Speaker in the comic was the same one we've known all these years, but how can that be? The comic portrays him as a lier, an egotistical maniac, and a power hungry politician. Does that really sound like the Speaker to you? Honestly this just reminds me why I don't consider the comics canon, it makes the story way easier to fallow when you don't have to worry about random plot points/holes that aren't even mentioned in game

  • First of all. Don’t forget that the comics take place[b][i]centuries[/i][/b] prior. Many people can change who they are within their lifetime. The speaker had [i][u]many[/u][/i] times as many years to do this change that can occur for most people in a couple of years. [spoiler]also we know that the comics were written in the perspective of Ikora. It is possible that, due to her connection to Osiris, had exaggerated some of the details[/spoiler]
