Plus his name follows Elezen naming conventions, and the XIV team has been very adamant on naming convention consistency. There's always the possibility he wasn't, but almost all signs seem to point to him having been.
I have to disagree slightly here, as evidenced in the introduction of new Garlean characters in 2.0 it brings question to this. The new Nero character is shown without his helmet yet also shares the same body type Nael had. Being that more Elezen proportions etc. Yet Nero is clearly some kind of Hyur.
I also highly believe the big Roegadyn type we've seen will also be a massive Hyur as well if he ever removes his helmet. I'm off the belief and stance that the upper echelons of the Empire is comprised entirely of Hyur and there's a certain elitism about it all.
Until I see clearly a lalafell or miqo'te within the upper ranks with their distinct physical features will I think otherwise for the most part. The Roegadyn is a huge possibility, but given they've stretched it with Elezen physique I can clearly see them doing the same with a giant of a Hyur.
