If\nsomeone can remind me of the page, I'll try to do better.\n\nQuetzal - Quetzalcoatl was the mythical \"white man\" who was expected to\narrive among the Aztecs and change things forever. The Mayans called him\nCulculcan, as I recall. \"Quetzalcoatl\" means \"feathered serpent.\" Perhaps a\ndragon/cherubim association. Quetzal knows his Bible (the pre-Bible of the\nUrth-universe) and corrects someone in \"Exodus\" who ascribes a Biblical\nsaying to Pas. \n\tSo Quetzal is pretty ambiguous. Perhaps a \"converted\" vampire who rejects\nhuman blood for animal blood?\n\nPas's motivation - Why would a horrible tyrant like Typhon build a huge\nspaceship and send away all his slaves, leaving him alone? That does not\nmake a lot of sense -- unless somehow the entire project was masterminded\nby Quetzal as a way to get home? Perhaps Quetzal had the power to hypnotize\nTyphon somehow. The Severian Quintet shows lots of aliens present on Urth.\n\nFifth Head of Cerberus - First, there is no doubt that a shapeshifter takes\nthe place of the scientist in the third part of the book. Second, unless\nWolfe has indicated something, I would not take these novellae as in the\nsame universe as Urth. They seem to be set in the future of our own\noscillation. Is there some more concrete reason to associate Ste. Anne and\nSte. Claire with Green and Blue?\n\nJames B. Jordan\n\n\nQuestions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com"
