I was thinking "what the hell is a Paarfi Bear?"

I find it noteworthy that the Tukko described by Paarfi bears almost no resemblance to the Tukko that is perceived by Vlad.

It's tempting to simply dismiss this as an example of Paarfi's typical over-eloquence and tendency to elaborate about things that he theoretically has no way of objectively verifying, whereas Vlad's narrative style is more typically objective and coldly factual.

It raises the question, though: Does Sethra/Paarfi -the-narrator perceive Tukko differently because she has knowledge of his true natre, or is it because every person who encounters Tukko perceives him according to his or her own personal capacity to perceive him?

Vlad is the sort who would never question his own perception of "Sethra's odd servant". Tukko wouldn't be the average topic of conversation for guests at Dzur Mountain. I could easily imagine Vlad going years, even decades, without ever having cause to wonder about it enough to ask Morollan or Aliera, "How do you perceive that person standing over there with the tray of drinks?"

It would be interesting to learn whether Vlad's seemingly contradictory account of Tukko is so because *every* person's account of him would seem to contradict every other person's perception of him.
