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. )
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.
She’s got her own issues right now, plus she’s just been under a huge amount of strain. What’s driving her nuts is that it feels (to her) that she’s trying to punch smoke, and that everyone seems to know more than she does and she HATES it.
So much for my previous comment that she was more calculating about beating on Calliel… It’s a good reminder that even someone like Targeter has her limits.
BTW, meant to mention that was a nice nod to the Godfather in the first panel. “Leave the car, we will kill the bitch then leave.” brought to my mind the line, “leave the gun, take the cannoli”.
Thank you, I was actually thinking of a line from an Andrew Vachss novel
“Where I live, we say it differently. We’ll tell you to go out and do the motherfucker”.

“Wipe [the smug look} off with a belt sander”? WOW.
Excellent work, Jim. Definitely one of my favorites now.
