Embryos
All the theorising about Silk's genetic relationship with Typhon hinges on the nature of the embryos. How many of these, apart from Silk, are identified??Mucor and Incus, certainly; what others?

Incus? Why so?
I say Tussah. Possibly Horn.

Oh, yeah. Auk. I strongly suspect he is a clone of Tartaros based on what he said in the Q&A:
Question: "Why did Auk/Tartaros kidnap Hyacinth, and why,
subsequently, did he let her go?"
Gene Wolfe: "Because Tartaros had told him to bring a woman.He
released her as he recovered from his brain injury, was able to
think more clearly, and realized that Hyacinth was not the woman he
should bring. Putting it another way, he released her because
Tartaros told him to. *These answers are not as disparate as they
may appear.*"

Clone, or horse to Tartaros's rider? I thought this was a case of possession.

Well, I don't think that Tartaros possessing him and making him do something is the even similar to Auk "thinking more clearly" OR receiving a message from Tartaros.
