Emerald Legionnaire and HoS requirement

Name: Emerald Legionnaire
Cardtype: Ally
Clan: Harbinger of Skulls
Cost: 1 pool
Wraith with 2 life. 2 strength, 1 bleed.
During your unlock phase, you can remove 7 cards in your ash heap from the game to move an Emerald Legionnaire from your ash heap to the ready region with 2 life.
Artist: Javier Santos

Relevant rules text:
Requirements for Playing Cards. Each library card has symbols on the attribute bar (the marble stripe on the left side) for the card type (except for master cards), the clan or Discipline (if any) required to play the card and the cost (if any) of playing that card. Some cards will have other requirements (such as capacity or title) stated in the card text. Only a minion who meets the requirements given on a minion card can play it, while only a Methuselah who controls a ready minion who meets the requirements of a master card can play it.

Summon History for reference:

Name: Summon History
[HttB:R, Anthology:3]
Cardtype: Action
Cost: X blood
Discipline: Temporis
[tem] Search your library (shuffle afterwards) and/or ash heap for an ally, retainer or equipment whose cost is X or less. Put that card in play (on this vampire and with starting life from the bank as needed).
[TEM] Search your crypt (shuffle afterwards) and/or ash heap for a non-scarce vampire with capacity X or less and put that vampire in play (with no blood).
Artist: Andrew Hepworth

As I read it, using the heap ability of Emerald Legionnaire does not require a ready Harbinger of Skull. The requirement only comes into play when a minion attempts the action, or if you control a ready member of required clan in case of masters.

Moving cards from somewhere to elsewhere is not recruiting or employing, and bypasses the clan requirement, as per Summon History.

Am I wrong?

Can I just discard Emerald Legionnaire and later move it to the ready region without any Harbingers on board?

Don't you still have to have at least one Legionnaire in play in order to pull that off, though? (the card text on Legionnaire is not active while it's in the ash heap)

I have no idea.

Correct. You can't use a cardtext from a card in the ash heap. The Emerald Legionnaire has to be ready.

Is this a "during x do y"
So you can have let's say 2 ELs up, be pitching some, and put up 2 more? Anything beyond 14 cards burned seems like a stretch, but its possible right?
