You misunderstand me.  I wasn't talking about hints that Silk might be a 
clone of Typhon. What I'm saying is that if he is in fact such a clone, 
there must be a grand conspiracy between everyone who knows both their faces 
to hide it, and ther is no hint of such a grand conspiracy.

But as for your point above, I think the bronze-skinned man is a 
representation of how an uploaded Silk would be part of Pas.  It says 
nothing about Silk's genealogy.  It's about the future, not the past.
