If people don't feel like supporting or opposing a suggestion, then it either needs more options, or it isn't worth making a consensus of, since it has no importance to most of the users. Yes, that is clearly very much the thread I'm talking about, the thread mentioned in the original post. And it's clarifying. Infact, may I add the humble suggestion that it would've been a good idea to include the link on the original post of this thread? Specially since it's highlighted as an important thread for the whole community. In light of this, may I change my vote?:

Yes, if the official creative sources are apparently already making clear that Vestige IS the protagonist/player character's name - period, then it would be by all means inaccurate and quite simply incorrect for knowledge document writers not to acknowledge and treat it as canon on articles that will widely serve as fact and information basis. Regardless of personal aesthetic differences or of those who haven't yet "warmed up" to this name (like myself).

This does not invalidate The Soulless One as a completely accepted 'aka' and thus perfectly correct as an alternate way of refering to the character. Much like so many other characters in the lore. Infact, may I already suggest that an entry-link for "The Soulless One" should exist, even if it simply redirects to the main "Vestige" article.

As for the "The", I don't think it would be elegant or proper for the main article to be anything other than just "Vestige". Regardless if the character proves to be mostly addressed in-game as "the Vestige" or not. Even if his article would immediately begin with something like "The Vestige, also known as The Soulless One, or XYZ, or ZYX, or , is the main...". Or if on other articles he would respectively be addressed with or without "the", depending on context or phrasing, as it happens with other characters. Take the "Forsworn" or the "Nerevarine" as two examples among many others.
