Do you think Emperor Mateus is the Proto-Sephiroth?

I know that people think that Sephiroth and Kelfka were the first main villians who differed from the usual evil conquerors/tin tyrants we used to see in the pre-FF 6. However, on their second game we are introduced to the Emperor, who looked like Jareth from the Labyrinth, but on the other hand fit the dark over lord archetype. While Mateus is a bishonen like Sephiroth, he still fits more of the conqueror mindset instead of Sephiroth who wants to just destroy everything in his path post-insanity. Also one thing that really differ from Mateaus is that unlike Sephiroth, he's very much someone who was always evil (to the point that even his light side is evil).

Square is known for pushing ideas to the next main numbered entry's. I know what you're getting at, and maybe ideas morphed into Sepheroth over time from ideas from Mateaus but probably more of a coincidence.
