 The Reality of Dreams: Antonio Tabucchi and Fernando Pessoa - by Robert Gray - Eclectica Magazine v9n4
For Tabucchi this "confederation of souls" is ruled by an ego that is actively engaged in the world, even as he acknowledges, by his fascination with Pessoa, the possibility of other egos in potential ascendance.
Tabucchi is also aware of the dangers lurking in excessive influence on the part of a master over his disciple, and seems to have been putting those fears to rest in "The Last Three Days of Fernando Pessoa" and Requiem, both of which deal with Pessoa's death.
For Pessoa, this poetic voice may have arrived from Caiero, but it was dispersed in many directions as poems by heteronyms Reis, Campos, Caiero, and Pessoa himself ("I tried— instinctively and subconsciously—to find disciples for him.").

For instance, one of the heteronyms whose poems are included in Selected Poems is Alberto Caeiro.
The biography Pessoa supplied for Caeiro states that he was born on April 16, 1889, lived most of his life with an aunt in the country and died of tuberculosis in Lisbon in 1915.
In addition to poems Pessoa acknowledged as his own, there are others by Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos (a monocle-wearing, opium-smoking, absinthe-drinking dandy who was also a naval engineer), and Ricardo Reis (a physician, classicist and monarchist said to have moved to Brazil in 1919).
