(urth) Boatman as Inire

[Gerry Quinn]

  From: John Watkins 

  Off the cuff, to me, it suggests that Erebus is part of Severian's family tree in some sense, possibly metaphorical.  The boatman, I think we agree, is Dorcas's husband and therefore likely Severian's grandfather and Ouen's father.  

Maybe Severian has time travelling sperm, and is his own grandfather ;-)
