User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-5791028-20151207152536/@comment-5918438-20151207214000 Do you have any passages from the book that might suggest they're the same character? I'm not sure authorial intent is the deciding factor. That said, without any evidence that they are intended to be the same character, I'd be inclined to dab both, and consider them as separate. Very interesting stuff, though...
