Ascended present at the Doom of Icathia, Setaka and possibly Nasus?

In the new story, 9 ascended where present at the battle. One of them, a female ivory skinned leader with the head of a Roaring Lion, seems to me is without a doubt Setaka.

From Where Icathia once Stood: "Their leader, with skin as pale and smooth as ivory, turned **her **monstrous head towards us. Enclosed in a golden helm carved to resemble a roaring lion, her face was mercifully hidden, but I could feel her power as she swept her scornful gaze across our line."

Mentioned by Nasus Nasus in the Bloodline storyline part IX: It is the Chalicar, the blade once borne by Setaka, foremost Warrior Queen of the Ascended Host; when enough of us remained for that name to mean something.** I was honored to fight at Setaka’s side for three centuries**..... A desert stylite once told her she would see the sun rise on the day a Shuriman emperor ruled the entire world. It made her think she was invincible, for we were yet to conquer the world, but she was brought down by monsters on the eve of Icathia’s doom. I held her as her light dimmed and I sent her to her slumber far below the sands with her weapon upon her breast.

It would seem like that since Nasus confirmed that she was present at the doom, and she is the Warrior Queen of the Ascended Host, that the ivory female Lion Headed God-warrior whom Axamuk claims was leading them was indeed Setaka, made even more evident by the fact she was observed to be overwhelemed by the Void energy that was unleashed.

More interesting is that, if Nasus held her as she died, it most likely means he was present at the battle too, unless she survived the initial assault and died later of her wounds. Perhaps even Renekton was there too.

just thought it was a curious bit of lore. Would be nice if a Rioter confirms it. I for one would like to know more about the Vulture Asceneded and who he was before he died such a undignified death.

Someone else had the same idea:

Hmmm.......here's another question that you may or may not be able to answer......

Is the General Ascended mentioned in the story Setaka?

And got this answer from Scathlocke:

You have good instincts - I absolutely cannot answer that :-P

So I guess that confirms it... maybe? [sg-lux-2]
