There's a strong correlation between the Warrior of Darkness and the highlander gentleman we've been following since early 1.0 cutscenes. Even his allies correspond to said cutscenes - Lalafell White Mage, Roegadyn Paladin, etc. It's entirely possible that "Derplander" is, instead, a failed Warrior of Light through canonical alternate universe / time travel shenanigans... unless we are positing that the canonical Warrior of Light looks identical to the Warrior of Darkness, which is not the case (if it was, the Archons would have pointed it out).
I withdraw my statement of canon, then, to say only that the canonical WoL may, or may not, be someone who looks like that highlander.
In all seriousness, the alternate universe concept is an interesting idea, especially given the 3.2 revelations and how much we know the devs like FF III. In terms of the structure of the narrative, we know at least that from MCKF's perspective, we are all, and all not, the WoL; we're the WoL of our own stories, essentially. Given that, this is all the more reason to avoid referencing the WoL at all. It's not hard to dodge your way out of it, even if you're playing a well-connected adventurer.
