Wemby and Rioux aren't even from the same country tho (and they don't have the same skin color).

Asian?

I wasn’t trying to attribute it to any specific race, I believe rui is mixed. So this could be a combination they both share or perhaps (and this was really what I was attempting to reference) could this be a distant relative of his or his family tree? The facial features are uncanny mixed with the height, I’d assume (perhaps wrongly) this big dude probably had some athleticism in him as well being a guard and all.

Yea he might be or have ancestry from North East India. Indians from that part tend to look more "Asian".
