Whether or not he makes it in his interviews, it is clearly present in the
books.  Typhon is the ruler of Urth who built the Whorl; Pas is a copy of
Typhon's personality that was downloaded into a computer.  One could say
that Pas is Typhon in the sense that Silk-in-Mainframe is Silk; but the
entity that ordered the Whorl to be built was killed by Severian on Urth.
