I freely admit the above answer was rather snarky. But Severian doesn't exactly have one point of view, given that he's a combination of the original Severian, Thecla, the autarch, the previous autarch, a white hole ... Chapter XXXV of _The Citadel_ gives some evidence he's not an alloy but a composite. I wonder if Vlad will have a unified POV - at the end of _Issola_ the Necromancer is already wondering who's running the show...
