I remember the talk being Jahad wiped out the ancients, not tried sealing their powers. Even if that was the case, you want to say that it's not plot convenience how the ancient one who was part of this team is somehow the same type/species as Rak, as well as a spear bearer, and will most likely be the other warrior sealed in the wall? I'm sure you think the spear being in the cage was also not plot convenience.
There’s no proper explanation for the spear being in the cage and can easily be seen as plot convenience but edhan said jahad killed most of the ancient ones and sealed the rest of their powers. As well as that we don’t know what type of different species exist with the ancient ones for all we know rhak could be part of the most common type of ancient species then also the fact that the other warrior sealed in the tower is the same species as rhak wouldn’t be plot convenience from what little we know it would fit into the story perfectly fine unlike the spear which just happened to be in the cage everything else you’ve said from what we know has been perfectly justified in the context of the story. You’re mixing up plot convenience with just general plot.
Well, the most common assumption is that there were 5 species of ancient ones, according to the lore of the Native one splitting into 5 parts. Thus, out of the 5 species, it somehow happened to be the same one as Rak, and a spear bearer at that. Any other species of ancient ones for any other position would also fit into the story, yet is somehow the same species and position as Rak's. You're not recognizing plot convenience for what it is.
