I've got a thought...about Blaze....
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
Daegon has been mentioned or made a cameo in the comic, right? If he's around, I could still see Blaze being in the picture. And maybe even Taven as well. I wouldn't think Daegon's ultimate goal would be to lead the Red Dragon forever. It'll be something deeper, and I bet he's currently on (or maybe even already accomplished>making him the "boss") that mission to find kill Blaze/Taven. But it could also just be something with him and Shinnok. They've got their connections too.
