Severian later idolized Vodalus and wanted to join him, but with time he learnt the bitter truth about him. He did hear about Vodalus - an aristocratic rebel, claiming to fight to restore Urth to its former glory - and accidentally saved the outlaw's life. He led there a sheltered life, not knowing much about the rest of the world. They kept him alive after her death, which was their method for getting new candidates for members of the guild. His mother was pregnant, when she was imprisoned in Matachin Tower of the torturers. Severian was raised by his guild from birth. In spite of this, some critics and analysis claim him to be an unreliable narrator. Severian claims to have perfect memory (his eidetic memory is stated as a fact by Gene Wolfe in Shadows of the New Sun). He is a Journeyman of the Seekers for Truth and Penitence (a Guild of torturers) who is exiled after showing mercy to one of his clients. Severian is the narrator and main character of Gene Wolfe's four-volume science fiction series The Book of the New Sun, as well as its sequel, The Urth of the New Sun.
