That could also be why most of her companions and enemies don't get mentioned either.
And yet at least 5 of the god prophets are famous storyline figures from EQlive who were directly involved in the Firiona Vie storylines.
Five? By my count, we've got one prophet that was directly tied to the Firiona Vie story (i.e.: was on the box art), and that was Danak. Beyond that, we have one other who appeared in EQlive (Askr), and one who's related to a prominent EQlive character (Bronlor).
You're right, Not all of them are connected to FV. I was remembering the facts incorrectly there, so I did a search and found your own quote from an old thread. I remembered that a dev commented that more than one character was from EQlive.

Because I thought he was a cool character?
Here's a trivia bit about the prophets:
Two were EQLive story characters.
Danak, Eva?
Two served as EQ2 class/subclass quest givers.
Makoto, Tychus
One appears in the intro movie.
Bayden
One appeared in game since launch.
Xilania
Two were completely new characters.
Bronlor, Civean
