Thanks Shoshopu! I was also leaning towards Wildwood. His skin doesn't have that distinctive desaturized quality too it that even most Wildwood-looking skin tones lack. Though he seems to lack the distinctive racooning about the eyes, given the side by side comparison in the character creator it looks like on the older facial model its a little harder to tell and it could be hashed up to lighting. But the beard texture (which I'd never noticed before) seals the deal for me.
Former Count Tarresson de Dzemael appears to be Wildwood.
I think that the Dzemael = Duskwight stems largely from fanon that's been in place since 1.0 times. Until Heavensward we'd never even seen a member of the Dzemael family. Now we've seen three... and two distant relatives of the house as well. Of the known Dzemael descendants, it's still technically a Duskwight majority.
Tarresson (Wildwood Count)
Archombadin (Wildwood trueborn son)
Grinnaux (Duskwight trueborn son)
Jandelaine (Duskwight descendant not trueborn)
Guilefresne (Duskwight descendant not trueborn)
What familial role a Baron has in Ishgardian hierarchy I've no idea, but as far as clans go he's sort of useless to cite at this time as Thieveneaux has yet to appear physically in game. In any case, very clearly there's been some Wildwood/Duskwight mixing in the Dzemael household. Who done it, who knows.
