I don't know about the rest of your request, but I
suspect you will have much difficulty convincing our
Estimable Author to create anything resembling a
reliable narrator.  He seems to have far too much fun
playing with different sources of unreliability.

In any event, although I certainly recognize that this
is not a democracy (and would not want it to be one),
I cast my nonexistent vote for more Paarfi, not less. 
In fact, considering how well-known Vlad has become,
or is likely about to become, after the events in
_Phoenix_ and _Issola_, I think he runs every risk of
having romances written about him.  Perhaps his
travels in the East, in the style of _Monte Cristo_?
