Don pops up. (whack him! quick!)

I see no reason to doubt your conclusion since Silk/Malrubius appears 
to Sev before the aquastor.  Besides, if Silk can travel through time 
as well as space (and in an expanding universe wouldn't time travel 
necessarily involve motion?) it is possible that he is Malrubius in 
actuality.  Even if this isn't the case, I see no real contradiction.
