Roy ponders:
1) How could an inhumi have attained [the position of Prolocutor]?

2) Who was Quetzal's mama?

Crush offers:
1) It is extremely unlikely that Quetzal could have attained his position at
all without the conscious assistance of persons in power. Imagine an old man
suddenly appearing out of nowhere and being a candidate for Pope without
extensive experience in the Church and without personal connections among
the Cardinals. Quetzal was undoubtedly skulking around somewhere before he
took up the bacculus.

2) I have reasons to believe that this question is not important:
