Nevertheless, I am firmly\nconvinced of its correctness overall.  My argument is simply that Silk\nis a clone of the monarch Typhon...\n\nWolfe describes Silk as having a \"reddish-blond beard\" (Litany of the Long\nSun p. 187).  So?\nHere is a passage from Graves' King Jesus describing JC:\n\"You have a Typhonic, or harvest-red, beard. . .\" (KJ p. 221)\nHow coincidental that Wolfe gives Silk a feature that ties him not only\nto sacred kingship but also directly to Typhon.\n\nCrush backs Don:\nAlthough you say you consider your Long Sun theories \"more speculative\", I'd\nsay this connection is the clearest of all. It positively establishes your\nmonths-long assertion about \"King Jesus\" being a Wolfean source and places\nyou in the catbird seat regarding Silk's genetic relation to Typhon. IMO The\nball is in the court of any detractors to show that these theories are not\nlikely.\n\nI'm not as convinced of your Severian/Typhon heritage theories, but that\n**could** be only because I haven't yet spent the time that you have\nconsidering it. For instance, I've yet to read \"King Jesus.\"\n\n-- Crush"
