The possession is technological, based on light pulses sent via the Sacred Windows.  There’s no evidence that Typhon himself can do it.  Scanning is the same for Silk as for Typhon / Kypris / Cilinia.
Cilinia, his daughter, seems to be a human girl.   She even has a saint’s name.   Presumably Kypris is also (we don’t know her original name).
Typhon is unique in his rapid conquest of Urth.  If he inhabited other bodies previously, why don’t we hear of them?
