The virindi message shard translator, Diyas al-Yat, is possibly a simulacrum or was at least, for a time, replaced with one. The late Antius Blackmoor described seeing him remove his head 2001/11 The Gathering Storm - Scalpel and he has also been seen doing so by other Isparians (screenshot below).
