Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
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. )
Moira Mebhe is Taioseach of the House of the same name. Originally based out of Amonson-Lancaster City, most of her House was wiped out in the nuclear incident that devastated the island.
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.
IIRC, Clarence and Ena know about him as well. I don’t believe that Ian is ready to give up on nailing Dehane, nor is anyone else in that room.
The thing is that Dehane is a rogue element that was relying on a low profile to keep him out of the Caladharas/Belisarius cross-fire. The incident with Kira blew his cover, which leads to his cutting off Chandler Industries to stop-gap an investigation. Ian’s Maris Islands coup blew the rest of his cover, forcing him into a hasty retreat. Dehane no longer has any reliable assets in the Maris Islands.
