Could it have been played straight?

# 1 Miles Naismith Vorkosigan - also Mark Pierre Vorkosigan, Commodore Clement Koudelka, late Simon Illyan, and Seargeant Taura
# 2 Helva (The Ship Who Sang) - also Simeon (The City Who Fought) and other shell people
# 3 Howard Falcon (A Meeting With Medusa)
# 4 Manuel Garcia O'Kelly Davis
# 5 Eric Donovan (Becalmed in Hell)
# 6 Gil(bert Gilgamesh) ("the Arm") Hamilton

I see a pattern of cybernetic enhancement.
