He did indeed appear in the velvet room, though not as an antagonist--more of just a guide with a nasty attitude, really.

But let me ask you this: suppose Yaldabaoth's "big reveal" at the end was cut, and Shido was the final boss. Everything else about the story and lore is exactly the same, and Yaldabaoth is still behind the Conspiracy; the only difference is that his big reveal explaining his involvement and final boss fight isn't there.

Is he still the main antagonist?
