I haven't pursued this line myself, in part because I'm not sure SKZB really cares to have the Paarfiad and Vladiad be consistent. But one could ask the question, does Pel not care to see his old plots and true character made public? Or is he unable to prevent Paarfi from exposing him? Or does everything Paarfi says cast him in a useful light - e.g., the actual Pel is much cleverer and manipulative than the Paarfian Pel?
