My understanding was that neither Typhon/Pas, his wife nor any of his
children literally boarded the void ship, Whorl; that only highly functional
and powerful software representations of the nine were planted in Mainframe
[as were, possibly, some of their friends, lovers (Kypris?), servants and
government cronies in the guise of the "minor gods"). So, yes, I think it
highly likely most, and likely all, remained behind on Urth.
