The wording of that interview bugs me still. The Sorcerer is very much still playing the role of The Sorcerer in the The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Yen Sid is just the Disney name of that character. I get the idea of making it so the originally unnamed Sorceror is also another fictional character (like Merlin) which is pretty cool and not just the a random sorcerer.

It's just saying "he's not the disney character but he's still technically our equivalent of the character that disney based him off of" is just going to be confusing on some levels to say.
