The Helnim Guild of Mages NPCs have this line in the "someone in particular" topic: "Areanne Vara is the Guildmaster. Her residence us at the top of the tower. Besides her, all the important people in Mages Guild's Telvannis branch are in Firewatch.". This line is correctly filtered to exclude Areanne Vara.

Areanne Vara, meanwhile, talks about herself in the third person: "Disela is the Factor of the Zafirbel Bay Company, and the Company runs most things around here. Hartise is the head of the Fighters Guild, and Areanne Vara leads the local Mages Guild. Cantorius Tremel is the head priest at the Chapel of Kynareth. The staff at the Imperial Archaeological Society are always rotating into Kemel-Ze for the ongoing excavation, but Barra'tho manages their in-District operations."
