Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )
This lady (who chooses to remain nameless) is professional assassin who hails from the city of Naglorond. She does most of her work for private citizens since the end of the House Wars, where she was responsible for the deaths of a number of House personnel.
The handle she is currently using is “Targeter” All that is known about her so far is that she was a child prostitute in Naglorond who killed her way out of the business , and decided to never put her fate in the hands of another ever again.
A potential problem with life-extension that SF has explored before: how does the human mind cope with centuries, or milennia, of experience?
The way Ishara describes it certainly sounds plausible, both the dementia-like symptoms and the effort needed to overcome them. Heck, it takes a certain amount of discipline and effort to stay healthy and sane for several decades. Scale that up by a factor of ten or more and it’s entirely reasonable that mental / psychological hygiene would need a corresponding amount of work.
Typo fixed. I just happened to be in the archive section when your comment came in and took care of it 🙂
Glad you like it, and glad you found us again.

Great comic – I found it again after seeing it several years ago. I am glad it is still going.
