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.
It’s the same old problem … not only do I have a weapon, so does the nut-case down the street. And his friends have them too. This tends to shrink the world into tribes rather than expand it into communities.
Another later comment on a reread-funner than ever…
I was thinking when we first saw this place- Iovantucarus/Rains chatting about things- Iov. was talking about the other race/world he visited being consumed by a plague, gee, was it the same nasty as here? Was he the carrier(obliviously or not)??
Aaand currently, the “off guy” they met, a reconstituted soul??
Fun stuff pondering! Hopefully you can comment without spoilering.
Thanks for the entertainment as always!
About the plague: Since Iovantucarus was referring to those places as already empty when he got there (he used the facilities there), he can`t have been the carrier.
If it was Kronos (which was developed on this world, so highly unlikely) or something different: There is no way to know, since he states that he doesn`t know why they are gone.
With the “off guy” Ian was referring to: He is talking about Marcus Chandler whom they met the last time we saw them http://requiem.spiderforest.com/?comic=08302011 .
He does look suspiciously like the “man with dead eyes”.
Spelling in the last line: than -> then.
I’ll fix it when I get home.
…an armed society is a polite society.
Also, like certain types of ideas and memes: There ain’t no putting things back the way they were. Innocence lost, bags and cats, Pandora and boxes.
Certain aspects of nuclear diplomacy come into play, as well – ala mutually assured destruction.

Panel 2: ‘we’ve may have’ should be ‘we may have’
