I would agree since Armorbearer is generic.

i always played it as he was, but it was interesting as it came up in a game today and it did not specify in the REG.

This question has been brought up before.  It was an oversight that he was left out of the REG.  He's generic.

During our game I was commenting on if 12FG was generic, not PAB.  I was just confused as to how the end result was 12FG, but I understand it now.

I don't believe 12fg is because he is "the" 12 Fingered Giant" So that would mean there is only one so he would be pacific XD

[begin pet peeve]No, he isn't an ocean.  He may be specific, but that is a different word.  My students from the hood make this same mistake regularly.  Argh!  [end pet peeve] :)

[begin pet peeve]No, his students are not from protective clothing. They may be from "the neighborhood," but that is a different generalization.[end pet peeve]   ;)

[begin pet peeve] No, that is not a different generalization. As we know from Ross, MJB and Schaef, all generalizations are bad.
Therefore, let A=bad, and set [B, C, D...]=Generalizations.
If each variable in set [B, C, D...]=A, then B=C, C=D, B=D, and so on.
Therefore, all generalizations are the same generalization.
