Have no concern. There are greater stakes here than my privacy.

I believe we share a conclusion: the wanderer is formerly of Ellethia. If I may hazard a guess, I would assume he perhaps witnessed the tragedy of the institute's final days. Alternatively, he was informed of it and now either flees or seeks to vindicate it.

I would not have believed anyone present at the time would have survived this incident. But I have seen Zenobius. Clearly, my assumption was incorrect.
