I think I agree with this, largely at least: you'd get so much not a human, as such, as a 'healed troll' (if that were the dominant physical 'bit'). Whatever that is, exactly...
This might also come under the heading of 'possible future Masks that might require (yet more) "subtle redefining" of the Empire's understand of what it means to _be_ Moonson'.
