That's it! Forget _Fifth_Head_. The connection is between
_Castleview_ and _Long_Sun_! Pike fathers the Manteon's own
Mordred with his sybyl/"sister", and then returns from the dead
at the Manteon's hour of need.  And Rose makes a point of
protecting and caring for his knife (Excaliber?).

Oh, the wheels within wheels.
