So:

Lee
Nero
Cedric

I haven't found the strip that identifies Cedric or Nero, can you link it?

For reference, Lee is called out here.

EDIT: Oh, I see, that doesn't show who has what card. I'll leave it up anyway so people who didn't find that strip have the link.

It isn't possible to determine which card is held by which fiend.

I'm about 80% sure that someone's worked out which is which but I'll be damned if I can remember where. Probably on the OotS forums or on somethingawful.

So, looks like Vaarsuvius, Belkar and Durkon won't make it through this story alive. Obviously it's been pretty clearly spelled out for each of them, but there's also the fact that the core of the Linear Guild is the evil counterparts of Roy, Elan and Haley. I dunno, kinda stating the obvious but it just occurred to me seeing that picture on the wall, and it makes me wonder how that will come to pass.

Actually, I'm going more by the way they were introduced.
Yellow Guy
Orange Guy
Purple

The next comic shows who is bringing who so by my logic:
Lee brought Jephton (arcane flexibility) -> CE
Nero brought Ganonran (world conqueror)-> LE
Cedric brought Haera (necromancer) -> NE

Yeah, but if we buy that, then we assume that their names have no significance whatsoever.

L.E.e, C.E.dric, N.E.ro.

Jagos · 07-10-2009, 10:22 PM

Well Lee was the one talking to Tiamat. And Tiamat is aligned with LE or NE...

I have to assume the names are more a red herring than anything else.

Kinda like V's Gender, Giant might be running with it.

Mirai Gen · 07-10-2009, 11:07 PM

I dunno about that. This-

-is probably some of the best reasoning of their alignments/names ever. I have no idea why Burlew would pick those names on accident other than because he didn't.

EDIT: Also I still have no idea why exactly it is that they were keeping score of V's soul-timer "for their purposes" when the entire point was to just get things moving with X vs the OOTS.

Well, if Lee was the one to be LE, why is "Nero" the one in college?

If we already know the yellow one as Lee, since they did retire to his domain...?!!

Well damn, the comic got changed.

I guess Rich wants it to be that it's just as the names say.

-Edit- Actually, I found where they named Yellow Lee: Linkage

And if everything else holds up, the names may not correspond with alignment.
