After reading his lore, I think that too. The family name he once hated? It's gotta be Akras. It's might not seem like but once you get farther into the story(Ishgria arc) It will start to connect him as Akras. Also it mentions more stuff about Akras in the final part of guardians lore. If you haven't gotten that far the then you have got no right to complain about his orign. And one more thing, the voice probably speaking to him in his head was probably Sodis. I mean it's not unheard of for people in brave frontier to talk to the dead right?(hint hint: Iris, she has a very similar head piece to zephyr, and could communicate with dead souls, also mentioned and refrenced in story mode by Mifa, Grahdens, and Owen.)
