Which members of the Seven are mandatory?

When seeking the immortality ambition, I know that certain members of the Seven require finding replacements if the originals are somehow indisposed. The financier was one that definitely couldn't rejoin the group, so you had to seek his fiance as a replacement. I remember seeing three options to investigate other potential replacements. Surprisingly, I only had to follow through with the one seeking Isery as a replacement guide for Lorenzo.
This makes me wonder if there was in fact a way to recruit Lorenzo that I missed somewhere. Is there an option available if you put off his quest line and delay his mothification? It just seems odd that only one of those three options would be manadatory. I'd also like the option for future captains to seek immortality without having to kiss up to Isery and be onboard with the whole Red Honey business.

Isery is indeed mandatory. Lorenzo is doomed either way and that moth isn't waiting the necessary seven years. Rosina and Bourdain can both be replaced, though it isn't mandatory, and for some reason you get the option to replace Bourdain before even searching for him. Arik, Batuk, and Evelyn (the Philanthropist) have no alternative.
Scienceandponies: Also, a minor nitpick. Isery is an Individual of Mysterious and Indistinct Gender.

OMG, did you just "But why didn't Gandalf just get the b____y eagles to carry him and Frodo to Mt. Doom in the first place?" us?

Why can't we get Lorenzo to lead us in moth form?
He could merrily flap along through the continent, leading us.
And as an added plus, no-one would try to shoot him down because the Presbyterate taboo against shooting at flying things would work to our advantage.

I see. Any idea what happens if you've previously pissed off Isery by either rejecting his patronage or returning without the Scholar's notes? Does it just become impossible to complete the ambition?

If Isery isn't your patron, you lose like 6-7 stats in the recruitment process. You can choose a stat to remain untouched. The sooner you get this out of the way, the better... before you hit 100 on any stats would be ideal.

Ugh, it sucks that we have to kiss up to that smug bastard. Of all the members to make mandatory, why him? Can't I just go recruit Lorenzo's moth?
