Doch! In fact, this is the origin of the Forrestine Cycle, as I recall. There are strong resemblances between Moagim Reborn and Alric; horse-haters. Equally, there are strong resemblances between Mazzarin and Alric, such as the m1 Sinis conversation:
"Ah, Sinis!" How does Alric know what Sinis looks like if he's two thousand years old? I thought you died when Mazzarin collapsed the Shrine of Nyx upon you."
"Indeed, Alric. I'll wager you thought you'd seen the last of me." Alric wasn't alive before the end of the Wolf Age, much less during the Wind Age. It sounds as if it's implication that the two are the same.
So, it's reasonable to believe that, since Moagim Reborn really is Moagim reborn, that it went Moagim-› Mazzarin-› Moagim Reborn-› Alric. This is hardly out of the question, especially in comparison to other things in Myth.
I don't necessarily subscribe to this either, much less anything else before m3, but it's a perfectly reasonable and explains a lot.
