For me personally the Linear Guild has been Nale, Sabine, Thog And Varying Associates for a while now, but I guess it settles Hilgya's status* at least (although I fully expect a theory along the lines of "Zz'dtri and Hilgya haven't been confirmed dead, does that mean Yikyik isn't dead either since they're all crossed out the same way" to pop up).

"status: taken out of the picture" rather than "status: dead", I mean

Regardless it's about time for a return, last time we saw them was just a few episodes after Roy died. I'm looking forward to seeing if they hire some new cannon fodder, we could use a few new NPCs.

I dont know, I think what with Nale's last evil twin switch thing the Linear Guild may have jumped the shark

Here's something I'd like to know

Which of the IFCC fiends are lawful/chaotic/neutral?

Call me crazy, but wasn't Tiamat one of the gods that Snarl killed?

As I recall, there were the 4 Panthelons of each domain, and when Snarl broke free the first time, it killed the gods of the Southern Panthlon.

The only we can safely assume is the yellow one (Lee, thus lawful evil; not just that, but also his mannerisms: Telling V the alternate method, not telling Qarr that V was just "the next customer" like the others, dealing with Tiamat, etc.). But he provided the seemingly chaotic evil soul splice and works directly with Sabine, so who knows. It's possible that Lee and Cedrik (I'm guessing the orange one) take control of souls/fiends with the other's alignment to showcase fiendish unity or something.

EDIT: The Snarl killed/unmade the Eastern pantheon, which was based on Greek mythology (Zeus and co.). The Southern gods are the twelve zodiac animal dudes. Tiamat is one of the Western/Mesopotamian gods.

EDIT2: I'm also guessing that Nale and the IFCC still count as different "sides" that the demon-roaches mentioned.

No, Zeus and the Greek Gods were slaughtered. The Southern Gods, which Roy is a part of (to a lesser extent, and a reason why he was the only southerner seen in the afterlife without all of the Northerners) were spared.

Eh, he doesn't have to be chaotic evil to take the soul of a chaotic evil person.

The one that went to college is probably lawful. He was seen hanging around with Duke (which specializes in law if I remember) guys.

I'm gonna guess yellow is the demon, the caster he brought to the splice seemed pretty chaotic, "Tear down creation just to see if you can".

Edit:Incidentally Orange was the one who went to college, and his splice guy did seem lawfulish what with being all about conquering. So yeah he's probably the devil. That leaves Purple as the Neutral Evil one.

I asked elsewhere and apparently they all have a name:
Lee
Nero
Cedric

Mystery solved!

EDIT: It was on their goddamn business cards in the very first strip they all appear together in. How did I miss that?
Also, I've been misinformed as to which one is which - the yellow one is Lee.
