"Pas" has no genes from which to make Silk.  Typhon did (skin cells from
his head, or germ cells frozen from his original body).  And Typhon is
dead by Silk's time.  Silk might be an embryo engineered from the genes of
Typhon and .

The harder bit to swollow is that Silk's spirit would go to the same place
as Typhon's when he died.
