# Person Dossier: Which Ari Fable appears in the Larkhaven workshop register?
> **TL;DR:** Current identity: The older Ari fits the register age and named mother. The later index conflates two people; inspect the facing page before treating the identification as settled. Next decisive evidence: Compare age, mother and workshop number to distinguish the two invented people.
