But, let's face it, Severian, Silk/the Rajan, Latro, and Able are probably easily in the top 5 of the vast's Lupine heroes, so there's that.  On the other hand, they might well not be Wolfe's favorites which could arguably be Alden Weer, Green, Cassie Casey. So maybe its not Wolfe's fault, but his audience's, that his most popular protagonists are so similar.

I'm just delving into the short stories. Jordon Flato gifted me Innocents Aboard for Christmas and surely nothing I've read fits the mold I described.
