Im trying hard to get my head around this cloning gig. Are you saying in this case that the Ds bumped Xiden to hell via say severe lead poisoning to the chest, then substitute with an actor, or did the good guys do this?

Either way the actor/clone would have a different voice signature/tone/pattern, not to mention food preferences etc. If indeed the dudes pictured here are not the same person & to me they are clearly not, wouldn't there be a shit load of people who know, ie at the very least close friends & family, thats a lot of people who have to play the game. Like I said, I just don't get it. How can this be kept secret?
