What is Vashaun?

Yeah this seems to be accurate. When I first learned that he was what he was I went wait he's an android!? I do wonder if we'll see more like him since he's the most advanced artificial being we've come across post sundering. I do wonder if it just stares off in the distance the few times they and Vrta are in the same room/area since we don't see him take the eye back the few times we see this.

I mean, if he's an artificially-grown biological body, which appears to be what he is (there was the implication that Varshan's 'big brother' got older and 'moved away', so it seems like they age), then that's basically Allagan cloning techniques by a different route.

I think the implication was they were put out to pasture so to speak.

Oh, yeah, this is absolutely what happened. But given the cover story is clearly working, and people only mention one recent predecessor, I figure that the body ages until they retire it. Otherwise either the body sticks around long enough that people notice it's weird how Varshan's brother didn't age, or they go through those bodies before signs of aging could appear, which would require a fairly suspicious amount of turnaround.

The entire reason they retire them is because they DON'T age and people would know something was up if they hung around.
