It is my recollection that Steve has also said the following: o We have met Mario in the Vlad books. o Kragar is not Mario o The Demon is not Mario (in spite of this statement, it's my favorite theory) I would interpret the 'no one is no one else' statement to mean that there are not two major characters who are one individual, not that we've never met a major character in disguise. -Jot
