Dangerous to reference older games for current names. I mean, we all know Immortal Flame Raubahn was corrupt guard of the Empress, and also a blue mage, and also multiple part demons and generally a corrupt, scheming villain, right? Do what you want, but be prepared for XIV to retcon you.
Consider this: None of the Primals in the game currently share backstory with any other instance of the same name in any Final Fantasy game, ever. The small exception could be made for Ramuh, who is always written as a Judge-like character, but his role in XIV is specifically to protect the Twelveswood (a place that doesn't exist in other games).
You're hedging huge parts of your already-immense backstory on the fact that this one guy will resemble his XII counterpart.
There's not a thing wrong with this! It's just "risky" because we know we're going to see more of Zodiark in the future. If your interpretation is wrong, then you're kind of hosed.
Makes me wonder, though: Zodiark is only now ascendant in the storyline, culminating in the reveal at the end of the 2.0 main story. How strong would it have been during Carteneau, when the power of the Twelve was on full-blast?
EDIT: also the twleve powers were focused on the Elder Primal Bahamut so there was a chance Zar-Zar could slipp through the Keeper's Cracks
