I think Paul's gone one step too far, though this IS the novel where 
PISCES invent the Schwartzkommando only to find that it does exist... 
Surely Rosie's most famous compatriot is the Original Count Himself?

>>>>Could be.

 I was thinking of those "Eyebrows going a mile a minute, extraordinarily fluid and graceful hand gestures."

Can't recall what the original Count looked like.

Hard (for me) to sort out nationalities (Hungarian, Rumanian, Transylvanian) in that part of Middle Europe. Was Bela a Hungarian like Rosie?
