Hints about Conciliator from volume names

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In what sense?  Did you feel Severian was, unknown to himself, the
"reincarnation" of the Conciliator, or did you guess that he would end up
time travelling and becoming the Conciliator, or did you imagine it some
other way?=20
