But then who is Victor?  He is apparently not a Shadow Child, and he 
imitates Marsch.

I don't put any faith in business of a random girl being said to have 
long legs or a random guy having head scars.  Could be they arose in 
ordinary ways, or perhaps one or both paid a visit to Maitre's operating 
table.  If the legs or scars were odd enough for No. 5 to notice as 
remarkable, they must be unusual.

And starcrosser technology as understood by the Old Wise One seems to be 
identical to that of modern-day Earthlings.
