It seems that we're forgetting a couple of important facts:
 
1.  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.
 
"Varra, even I'm starting to be confused by this..."
