Wolfe has said the Outsider is a spiritual god. That - substantiated by what we see of the Outsider - doesn't strike me as demiurge-like.

> Could this be the reason Severian is so reticent about Father Inire? Does Wolfe make him do this to hide (but also provide a clue) that Gene Wolfe is lurking in various disguises throughout this story. Afterall, creating such human-form agents to accomplish their goals in the world is something that demiurges are prone to do. 

'FI is GW' sounds terrific.
