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.
The Dweller. Prophet. Statistician. Sometimes madman. It is unclear, even to himself, whether he is seeing the future or calculating probabilities better than the fastest computer in existence. Needless to say, The Dweller knows things, often before they happen.
Yeah, but unless what’s making the holes is a lot bigger than the weaver, it’s not a good idea to make a spider mad…
But continuing the analogy, I definitely see this as a confrontation between two peer spiders, one of which has armed backup. Calliel doesn’t seem to have an equivalent power base, just one or two apprentices and a lot of pawns. The Dweller has mutually respectful allies who have reason to trust him.
Doesn’t mean this can’t get ugly. The Dusk Angel is no pushover and the Dweller is (so far; he’s self-admittedly crazy) handling her carefully.
Don’t forget that, in her favour, she can split her body to avoid being shot and is not affected by broken glass.
If Ian isn’t careful, he may help her. At the moment he has the mobile conversation on loudspeaker. If he forgets to turn it to quiet, the mobile may signal his entry into the area and tip Calliel off that Jennifer called them.
I think this round will be a draw.
However, the team that the Dweller is building up should be able to take her on. Ishara has already shot Calliel and the skills and abilities of the rest of the team (which includes all the people in Targetter’s company, House Caladharas, etc) is impressive.
