Ssiran spent a Talent so that it is impossible to detect his Yuanti nature except via intense magical scrutiny. That said, if he legitimately wanted to Bluff that he was a Yuanti spy with that Talent and use Yuanti mannerisms, the fact that he actually is a Yuanti would helpdoghead said:
However, since Zangala is not really closely enough aligned with the Valhedar for them to let him in anyway, I discounted this (though I did think of it). Now a Tiefling could do it. Actually, his Talent forces Ssiran to pick between Human, Elf, and Tiefling, but he can't change after that (though presumably he can change among different types of Elf or Human maybe). He picked Human.

That was what I thought after reading the character description, but wasn't sure.
I didn't realise that Valhedar and Zangala were not closely allied. Pity, it could have made a nice combination. But still, I'm sure there are Yuan-ti working with the Valhedar here and there. Something to keep in mind perhaps.

It is possible, but it would probably be something where they would know all of them--in general, the Yuan-ti are looking for a common ally against the Valhedar to retake the Azran Desert because Valhedar invaded them. They even have a diplomat girl who is trying to convince the humans of Ambria that Yuan-ti are more misunderstood than evildoghead said:

Description
Solara is a tall, athletic woman who would be considered by any standard. Her golden red hair cascades just down to her shoulders, and her skin glows a golden tan of a woman who revels in the sun. Her eyes are a piercing sunny yellow, and seem to see whoever they look at. When traveling, she usually wears her breastplate, with a flowing red cloak, and is always well kempt.
Personality
Solara is confident, strong willed and passionate. She is structured and disciplined, but can be forced out of these by strong emotion (often passion or rage). Generally, she is known to be friendly and good company. However, she is known to occasionally talk to the sun, particularly when making hard decisions.
Background
Solara Rayside, is the daughter of Gavin Rayside, a Knight of Dawn. The Knights of Dawn are honored warriors, founded by the Rayside ancestors and blessed by Alharra to defend the Trueborn, as well as uphold all that is right and good. Gavin raised his daughter with these ideals, instructing her in some martial training, as well as instilling a sense of discipline in her, as well as a sense of rightousness. Solara however, had much of her mother, Melinda, in her. She was a fiery and passionate girl, who sometimes let her emotion get in the way of her discipline.
Despite Solara’s flaws, Gavin pushed for her to enter the Knights. The Knights of Dawn undergo warrior and spiritual training, and Solara took what she could. However, to enter, there were a series of tests, the final was seeking the Cave of the Rising Sun (a cave positioned to see the sun immediately upon it’s rising) and meditating from sunrise to sunrise at its entrance. Solara was given several family items, including a morningstar, a crested shield, and a silver medallion with her family crest. For days she followed the tests, but upon reaching the cave moments after sunrise, she became frustrated. Never one for quiet contemplation, Solara reached out to the sun as she stared upon it rising at dawn, abandoning her taught meditation. It seemed as if the sun reached back, and they embraced, becoming one.
Solara returned from it transformed from her experience, with odd yellow eyes and a newfound purpose. Embracing the sun gave her a commitment and a drive she had not known before, and her passion and strong personality gave her strength and insight into others around her. She began to tell of the power of the Light of Dawn, its healing ways, and its fiery wrath. She dropped her family name, going only by Solara, though she quickly became known as the Mistress of Dawn, or the Lady of the Rising Sun.
Concerned by not only her admitted failure at the trials, but her changes, Gavin spoke to Solara about the Knights, her changes, and her mission. She told him she had not turned her back on her family, but she must follow her own sunny path, and her calling is now to tell others the glory of the Light of Dawn. The Knights were not for her, though they were welcome to follow her. She told her father she loved him and her mom, but she must set out to spread her message, and then left after giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Solara has now set about the world to speak for the sun and the dawn, telling stories of the sun and its journey across the sky, as well as what wonderful things the sun has brought. She speaks to the sun on occasion, sometimes as a sister, or daughter, or even as if it were a lover, and she does not deny it speaks back. Her passion gives her strength, but she draws strength from the sun as well, and needs only to look up to know she is on the right path.
-----------------------
While not many in the Knights of Dawn are aware, the Knights of Dawn were formed by Dawn Rayside, one of Solara’s ancestors, and were named as such because they followed her.
-----------------------
There a contingent in the Knights that believes they should be following Solara and this is what the trials were truly for. However, most are still loyal to the Knighthood, which officially does not recognize her, and Solara has pull in the knights only as the daughter of one of their own in almost all cases.[/sblock]
