Identifying the ship's steward?

[worstcase11]

I am aware he can be later on easily identified simply by the fact he is wearing a steward's jacket and all other stewards are near their officers in different scenes.
However, in the very first scene he appeared for me in my current playthrough (in this case his death scene), he was instantly unblurred, despite another steward still being blurred out.
So I was baffled what the special hint for his identity was supposed to be, as he doesn't seem to have any tattoos or other personal items, his name is not mentioned (in any scene - as far as I know) and the location of his death is unrelated to his job.

You're probably just supposed to see that he's the only one who's dressed like a steward and looks like he can be Indian.

@Fusha: Might be - though I have no clue what was supposed to make him look like originating from india more than any of the other stewards.
The crewmember from New Guinea at least had tattoos as an indicator.

It's less that he looks like he's from India specifically, and more that the others wearing Steward uniforms don't look like they're from India.
The other Stewards are from Northern Europe; England, Wales, Ireland, and Sweden.

In a line up of 5 Northern Europeans and 1 Indian, you could probably spot the Indian.

@Pckables: On a modern photo that might be possible, but with the game graphics - I really couldn't tell, aside that one looks a bit too young to be the ships's steward. We had 3 middle aged men with dark hair and one and one older bald one, only the single blond steward would have been identifyable as from Europe.

You're not wrong. I actually had the Irish steward listed as Indian because of the picture quality in the book. Thats also why he's not unblurred the instant you get the book, only once you actually see his face clearly in a scene.

Realistically, the game isn't putting this as the primary way to figure out his identity, just the first one available.
