Some people think that Gaiden Shinji was a Redguard because of his name. Well, his name sounds a lot more Akaviri than Yokudan to me. The only known Akaviri human name that has been recorded (to my knowledge) was Akaviri Commander Mishaxhi. The spelling structure of these names sounds similar, plus there is only 1 Redguard who has a name that ends with an i, Destri Melarg, whos name sounds completely different.

He could just have an Akaviri name but be another race, but his name definitely looks to be of Akaviri origin.
