As for Xiao Ran's identity, Setsuna and Tieria saw no need to hide anything. There was no problem with revealing his ordinary identity, but Tieria would not disclose the connection between Celestial Being and Xiao Ran.
Although Tieria "knew" that Xiao Ran was one of Celestial Being's primary backers, he had not told Setsuna about that either. This was especially true of Xiao Ran's status as a Pure Innovator.
The identity Prometheus had arranged for Xiao Ran in Setsuna and Tieria's world was far from simple. After all, given the diversity of the Burning Legion's Faction Territory, the appearance of the same faction in this Mission World was enough to give Xiao Ran a complicated web of identities and powerful advantages.
First was the existence of Orb. Orb in the SEED World and Orb in this Mecha Wars V world could be considered the same faction in different worlds. To a certain extent, their paths of development were almost exactly the same. In both worlds, war had broken out between PLANT and the Federation, and a third party like Orb had stepped forward to end it. That development alone was completely identical to the SEED World.
Since Xiao Ran already possessed the Orb Territory in the SEED World, he was directly tied to the special identity of Orb's Faction Territory in Mecha Wars V. He became the hero who had led Orb to step forward and settle the war between PLANT and the Federation. He commanded tremendous deterrence against both the Federation and PLANT, as well as great prestige.
Beyond Orb and PLANT, this Federation also had similarities with the Federation of the 00 World. Although Xiao Ran had not acquired any Faction Territory related to the 00 World, logically speaking, the identity arrangements should not have given him much
