(urth) Appearances of Inire

[David Stockhoff]

It's one thing to suggest multiple Inires. He could probably handle 
that. And if so, then one of them could be blind without them all being 
blind. And I suppose the multiple names would be so he could keep 
himself straight.

Also, since Father Inire himself never appears, it follows that he must 
appear as something other than Father Inire.

But I agree with what I think is your skepticism: there is the principle 
of conservation of characters, but this is overapplication. At this 
rate, anyone (male) could be Inire after several hundred years, even 
Severian if he works on his tan.
