Who *recommended* this 'Jaka' to Cerebus? Right, the mysterious voices in the basement. And just how far do we trust them, hmmmm? 2. What relationship is the real Jaka to Lord Julius? His mistress. Remember Astoria? "I was his 'niece', too, but at least he married me!" So why is this woman being sentimental about 'how nice Lord Julius was before he was corrupted by power?' I mean, Lord Julius may be corrupt, but he's *always* been corrupt. He's just that kinda guy. Of all the people to get sentimental about, Lord Julius strikes me as a poor choice. 3. Assuming this 'Jaka' is a fake, what do the voices have to gain by presenting Cerebus with his true love? Hint: this Jaka has convinced Cerebus to leave town. No more Most Holy to contend with. The list of people who would benefit by this is endless.
