I'm re-reading (ok, re-listening) to The Faith of Beasts. I just came to the introduction of Garral Pär, and two things jumped out at me right away.

• A strong smell hits Jessyn before she meets her group that reminds her of Anjiin.
• The feeling that she knows Garral, but can't place his name or where she knows him from.

This sounds exactly like what Clae was doing when she was trying to integrate herself into the human moiety. She was using pheromones that made it easier to convince people they knew her and that she belonged. And after all that happens on World, Garral leaves with the human rescue mission. He manipulates Jessyn into helping him, in the same way that the Swarm does with the human moiety.
