No, I don't think that he is Dara Happan. Won't really matter, though, as his settlers are bound to arrive with their own rituals.
We always played him as more a don't-ask-don't-tell type, with regard to the gods followed by the ragtag and bobtail crew that he gathered to protect Ronegarth. That Raus himself did not worship any Lunar or Solar god directly also meant that he had less trouble with the natives. Pointing out that he was an exile, not in favour with the Lunar heirarchy, was also another tactic of his.
