(urth) [AEG] Gideon Chase's identity

[Blake Hyde]

Sorry if this is a common theory; I wasn't able to find anything like
this in the archives.  It seems to me that Gideon Chase is likely to
be a hybrid of a Wolder and perhaps the elder Chase's wife.  Wolfe
mentions several times that Wolders can hybridize with "lower forms,"
and it would explain his eyes.  Near the end of the novel, Klauser
tells Cassie that Wolders look just like humans until you look
closely.

Hmm.
