This is Sean Whalen (prion).
Yet another piece of evidence that Aunt Jeannine in The Fith Head of Cerberus is really an abo impostor.
On page 52 of the Orb edition, No. 5 describes her withered legs as "like the sticks David and I used as little boys, when doing parlor magic, we wished Mr. Million to believe us lying prone when we were in fact crouched beneath our own supposed figures."
He's comparing her legs to devices used to deceive and make one thing seem to be another, to conceal.
