It could also be the spirit of Bill Reis, appearing as Vince Palma to 
avoid causing her too much grief. There are many connections between 
Reis and Palma; he seems almost like an alter-ego (but they are seen 
together on p. 68, so it's not an identity).

Here's another image connection I just noticed:
"The high king's wife was the high queen... Her head was on fire." (p. 226)
"..his headdress... was now of leaping flame." (P. 285).
