There could even be a story behind it you could play with. A former Nunh (if Seeker, which I'm assuming since you mentioned a tribe) that got defeated by a challenging Tia, and was embarrassed to the point that they left - or, on the flipside, a Tia who wanted to leave the tribe to start a splinter that never got off the ground. Or even just a tribesman who was more interested in urban life and took on the new name to better "fit in."
There's plenty of ways to work with it.
This has gotten my creative gears going quite well. While my current idea wouldn't have him remembering much of his past, it still contributes into who he is at the present, and that's more useful to me than he. I'm thinking something along the lines of number three, where he leaves his tribe due to personal dispute with his culture. Maybe after being heckled into a tournament of sorts, held after the Nunh of his tribe died of natural causes (if Louisoix can withstand Bahamut, even for as short of a time as he did, I think there can be an old Nunh somewhere in the mix). If I wanted this to be a card (or myself a cad, If I think too deeply into it), maybe he could have the finals under his belt before forfeiting, effectively giving his tribe the finger by leaving them with a lesser Nunh while he hit the road laughing.
That might work, if the timing fell within two or three before the Battle of Carteneau. Probably a better idea somewhere between these ears of mine, but it's not a bad rough sketch. Leaves room for far past acquaintances looking for resolution/revenge, fellow adventurers met along the Wanderer's way, and comrades-in-arms brought together under a falling moon. Maybe just enough of that Final Fantasy romance to slip in, maybe.
On another note, would E'rynth make for a good Seeker name?
