It's doubtful that Baek Ryun's case implies that the inhabitants of the Tower were aware of the Floor Guardians before Zahard.

Moreover, Baek Ryun's story is somewhat controversial. We were told that non-Irregulars cannot control Shinsoo without the appropriate contract. Given his origin, it's doubtful that Baek Ryun would have items such as a Pocket to make the contract or a Wand that already holds the contract before his climb. Therefore, it's not quite clear how he could learn to manipulate Shinsoo in his circumstances. My initial idea was that--much like on the 43F--control of Shinsoo without contract is possible even for non-Irregulars, but it's considerably weaker in comparison. However, this somehow challenges the situation on 2F, where we were told that the only ones who can use Shinsoo without contract are Irregulars. The only idea consistent with the story on 2F--that doesn't require an orphan to possess pricy items like Pocket or Wand--is that he was born under a contract of one of the Great Families.
