Mayor of Jhargram. Killed Rahman in c18.
4. Solomon Kebede - Revenant (C32)
Saved his own life by giving up his humanity.
5. Uehara Azumi - Specter (c41)
Mayor of Nakano. Very unnoticeable person.
6. Lin Baya - Wraith (c52)
Successful vengeance but ends with her death.
People Silas met on his journey so far, and who are shown in Heroes and Villains of the First Age
1. Grace Volta - Valkyrie (C23)
Silas’s first real opponent. Her death caused him to experience guilt, and makes him doubt whether he’s a good guy. He becomes more proactive than passive when he realises he is a person of power and people will always come after him.
2. Michael Eze - Gladiator (c27, c43)
Beta-version of Floyd Godson. Silas runs away since he doesn’t want to kill another human and because he’s got siblings to save. Better be proactive in chasing them down, rather than sitting on his arse waiting in Riverside for someone with a locator class to come along.
Michael misjudges how the Apocalypse changed Sabine and gets destroyed for it.
3. Raven Cox (c28)
Some bitches be crazy :P
4. Sabine Gantzmann - Blood Fist (c39, c53)
Woman obsessed with strength and battle. Even after she becomes mayor, she wants people to come challenge her, and she eventually dies when too many come at once.
5. Alice Reid - Pyromancer (c42)
Unfortunate woman who chose the wrong tree to find shelter under.
6. Reynard Holden - Runesmith (c51)
Mentioned above. Skully is very influential and powerful as a supporter.

Riposte
Noël is known across the city of Portland—and not by choice. Under the care of the richest man in the city and just transferred to a new high school, she's already making close friends... and bitter enemies. A chance encounter on her first day plunges her headfirst into a secret underground tournament. Between suspicious classmates and utter strangers, Noël soon gets a taste for the addictive rush of the duel, but questions of love and trust complicate every move she makes. Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it! Full-size cover art [Discord] - come hang out and chat sometime with etzy and other readers!
