(urth) What might become of Ouen?

[b sharp]

At the risk of cluttering the list with my own issues, I'll toss this small 
one in the ring.  Just before Severian drops off Ouen at the house where 
Dorcas is mourning he tells him "We will not tell you who you are" "And we 
cannot tell you what you may become".

What might Ouen become? My unfortunately vulgar and simple mind can only 
think Severian is saying "you might become an MF as I have been a GMF". 
Someone please tell me that's not it!
