The Shadow here is VRT's (or the Shadow Child[ren] if you prefer): I
like `Roy' for the middle name for the Celtic clues.  However, given
the Proust links it would have been nice if it were Robert, which
would fit in with Proust's Robert de St. Loup (`Robert of St. Wolfe[e]').
Is there another Robert?  (Did someone else point this out?)

The Claw is the Claw:  is it possible that Severian finds a real
live thorn in Citadel, which comes back with him in Urth to become the
actual Claw?  Are there enough clues for or against to decide this?
