Ah. I had assumed the only reason he spoke was because he was possessed.

There must be a map to the Osiris legend here I don;t get.

Why wouldn't Pas be keeping all his human hosts alive? That was my 
assumption. They all must be aged at this point.

As for further cases, granted, he had to be at a Window, so that narrows 
it down quite a bit. I don;t recall any other deaths at windows. My 
estimate of a dozen was based on how many phallus-level body parts there 
are. They couldn't all be in Viron.
