I seem to remember a good argument being made on another list about how Mario was probably the father of Devera. Mario and Aleria obviously seemed to hit it off in 500 Years After and I could see it (having a child with a memeber from another House) being just the kind of thing Aleria would do. If nothing else it would give her a reason to kill other people that might slander her for it. :) As for the body... who knows . . . Maybe Sethra sent it there or maybe it has something to do with her divine bloodline.
