This would be more accurate:

I figured Oskar would have to job eventually, but I was hoping it would be later, and to a more interesting character.

Darth Walrus posted:

It’s the wide eyes and big, permanent smile that make Oscar look endearingly silly. Observe how the second image entirely does away with those.
His jaw is a loving skull, other than his eyes he always has the exact same expression, aside from the handful of times we've seen his mouth open.

Also, for those of you still trying to white knight the devils as misunderstood ne'er-do-wells or victims of circumstance instead of homicidal monsters:

quote:

"The devils utter the Night Curse with nary a breath of trepidation. They are wary and suspicious creatures, and superstition suits them. Each of them has separately come to the conclusion that when looked at the right way, any living being can easily be thought of as meat.”

It's not that they aren't homicidal monsters, so much that they're not uniquely homicidal monsters.

drat near every character in the comic is a murderer by now. Devils ain't special in that regard.

I wonder if Cat Master survives, he'll evolve enough to be able to speak? And if so what is he going to say?

It does kind of set him up for a fairly thorough stomping. He’s up against two ex-ebons (one currently a red like him) an angel, and whatever backup Nyaeve and the others can provide, and he just lost his grip on his trump card. He may somehow be able to pull this out of the bag, but things aren’t currently looking good for him.

The hollow shells of angels are used as public transport and high-rise real estate. You really think there’s such a thing as ‘just a figurehead’ in this setting?

My paper soldiers form a wall, five paces thick and twice as tall.
The question about Oskar was never “is he a villain” but “what sort of villain is he.” The last few pages knocked out a couple of archetypes - he could have been more of a double-crossing scoundrel - and established him as something darker.

Gods corpses are used as building materials, Prime Angel shells are the public transit.

Oscar is ebon. Mask color doesn't necessarily correspond with rank, once you reach ebon. Abbadon's posted about it before, ebons kinda just look however they want.

What makes devils special isn't that they kill, it's that (aside from maybe Cio) they are apparently incapable of empathy. They aren't the worst villains in the universe, the majority of the Seven are human after all, but that's because devils and angels don't have the same heights of potential as humans and servants. It's the price they pay for immortality. In this setting, some humans are OK, and some are really, really bad, but every single devil is a predator.
