I thought it was generally agreed that though Severian may be a stand-in
for Wolfe, Ultan's assistant Cyby was Wolfe's stand-in in the novel:
"... a stocky, very erect man of forty or so with a flat, pale face. ...
Cyby had a high, square forehead, from which his graying hair was in
retreat. It made his face seem small and a trifle babyish..."
Remember that Shadow of the Torturer was published in 1980, so it was
written when Wolfe was "forty or so."
