Seeker of Thrones 5-39
“Ipreski was Prince Kassardis’ last and oldest wife, though barely by a few years. Despite her relative youth, however, her hair had already become white as snow. Some gossiped about how it was a curse from a vengeful sorcerer, for the offenses of the princess Ipreski’s family were broad, and no less horrible for their breadth.
Ipreski kept her white hair long, and bound up in coils that wrapped around her waist five times. She was exceedingly lazy, and would rather order one of her numerous and weary servants to fetch something than walk a mere five paces. She was pampered and fond of food and wine, and complained loudly if there was no place for her to lounge about.
This laziness of hers was a clever mask, for Ipreski kept all her energy coiled up inside of her like a spring. She was a master swordswoman, in the old tradition of her family, and her muscles were like steel cables. Such was her skill that she could kill a man and sheathe her sword before the first drop of his blood hit the ground. She had no need to pursue her opponents, for they could not touch her, and was instead content to wait until they came to their slaughter. This was the source and secret of her arrogance. She loudly mocked Kassardis’ other wives, especially the large and slow Littari, for she believed there was no chance they could beat her in open combat – and it was true.
It was only fitting, therefore, that the languid Ipreski was the last to set out in pursuit of the young prince in her palanquin, with her full retinue trailing after her.”
– Tales of the Silver Prince
EVIL? I wonder what these demons do with their days.
They spend their days being smooth criminals.
It’s just a popular brand on Throne. Like how wearing OBEY doesn’t make you fascist.
Ah yes, the discerning devil’s designer brand: EVIL.
I hear they’ve got quite a racket going, what with the devils’ fluent form requiring repeated purchases…
I can always appreciate people who clearly label things
There is a danger in letting labels define you.
White Chain about to Shun Goku Satsu a bitch.
I don’t recall our angel losing their head. Have any of you seen it?
… Do you suppose those sweaters are available for purchase somewhere?
This is just like one of my Japanese animes…
I need those pants.
They are wonderfully tacky.
*squints*
…and I only now noticed how sinister his feet are, too. They look… disconcertingly dexterous.
oh my GOD the Evil Eye gang
Something tells me these individuals are of the evil alignment.
But I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Clearly you have gained some deeply mystical insight into their soul auras.
Honestly? I’ll be mildly disappointed with this comic if these guys don’t turn out to be a bunch of big softies.
Those Lads, they look Mad.
EVIL huh? Well, at least their honest about being evil, and I can at least respect that.
The more we see him the more I love this rapscallion 😀
I get it, they’re evil. What ever happened to subtle storytelling? 😉
And this is the part, my lovelies, where deciding to take down the expensive stuff earlier pays off.
If you have waited until now to do so, you will only draw the attention of the gathered krewe, or coven, or whatever your local criminal assemblies call themselves, and the quick-small among them will have marked you as a target of value in the smash-up that will follow. Maybe swiftly, maybe in a night’s time, but they will be back, and even if your locks confound them they will make an utter mess of your stall trying to defeat them.
Better to be but a humble merchant, one glad the ensuing melee does not fall around him. It gives you a good spectator’s-eye view of the show that is to come. Watch the quick-small carefully during it; the slow-large will make for a more entertaining spectacle, as they fight to the death, but when wounded or temporarily outmatched the quick-small tend to fall back to a nearby obscure corner to consider their options.
And the customer unsure of what is desired is ~most~ receptive to a reasonable offer.
Judging by Oscar’s gangster bling that says EVIL, I’m going to say that Oscar is, at best, a chaotic neutral who thinks highly of themself.
HAHAHA SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
i think the evil gang of demons might be my new favorite characters
Our favorite characters*
Down with the hipocrisy, y’all! Praise EVIL.
I imagine oscar with a nice rough and tumble British accent
“Booy, I do love me some EVIL. Are you guys feeling up to some EVIL today? Because I sure as heck am.
I’m just so freakin’ EVIL, man.”
It may not surprise you to learn that angels and devils get on rather poorly.
“Stay on the other side o’ the road
‘Cause you can never tell.
We’ve a thirst like a gang of devils,
We’re the boys from County Hell.”
THE BLACK SPEECH LIVES!
I’m loving the vibe Oscar’s gang is putting out, their robes are on the nose in the best, most demony way.
Look like our sweet angel know this guy.
Well hello there Oscar! don’t you have such a commanding name to go along with that presence.
Would Dhuutholmel be better?
The horned hoodies are disturbingly adorable. And the gang markings have all the subtlety we’ve come to associate with our dear Oscar…
So is their logo a translation for our benefit, or does the Latin alphabet and English language exist where they are? Or does their logo’s appearance simply mirror the word “EVIL” by coincedence?
I like his baggy “evil” pants 😀
As a individual who has wandered the world I live in a hundred times, I will say this; devil gangs are, in many ways, preferable to mortal ones. For one, they are always the choice of superior muscle. Secondly, one knows that to trust a devil is akin to trusting a starving jackal; their disloyalty in the face of opportunity is paramount, while human ties are variable and, as such, are far more problematic. A devil will wait until the right time to betray you; humans and servants, being more fallible in this terms, often do not, and can be expected to attempt to stab you in the back at times when it is not logical for them to do so.
I also find that the smarter devils have fine appreciation for cigars, which is a quality which earns them my grudging respect.
I love this comic
I have a strange feeling these folks may be evil…
Now, now, let’s not jump to conclusions shall we?
Damn, those are some wicked pants.
A sinful pun!
Look at these thugs, all filth and no might.
Truly, Throne is in a poor state.
Corruption and blasphemy fill the streets.
This view pains my heart and the Law that was beat into it.

HIS FEET ARE SO STRANGE. AWESOME.
Where did sibling White Chain’s helm get to now? They should put it back on. Don’t want to irradiate the nice people standing nearby.
One can almost hear ‘Fuck tha Police’ playing in the background.
SELL THE HOODIES
OMFG!
It prints money!
I wonder if they are evil.
My money is on the armoured nuclear bomb.
My left toe on Cio.
Oscars pants are the best, let me guess they are called the evil gang?
also, bat demon is bae
White Chain goes mad? Lucky that Ceo have Red in her hands.
Gee, I wonder if these guys are evil.
Someone forgot their helmet! I wonder why she took it off. Does White Chain know Oscar, or does she just dislike devils in general and only tolerates Cio because she has to?
These guys are so bad their clothes are evil!
That’s one RIGHTEOUS mon. Eh? Eeeeeeh? ;D
Oh man I love oscar’s rowdy lads.
Swag indeed
Minnie Pearl on Hee-Haw also left the tags on her hat.

Now I imagine Oscar sounding like an old-timey gangster, something like “Nyeh! Hands of the goods copper, see”
Good to know the scum still use baseball bats in other dimensions.
Look out, it’s the You Rang? Clan.
WHERE TO COP THOSE EVIL PANTS????
I need those pants.
Confident little devils, are they not?
Not a wise choice. Considering what a even a young angel like 23 Liminal Blossom did to the Followers. Considering what 82 White Chain tends to do when he’s not facing demigods or other angels.
Not wise at all.
I not sure about that. I bet in Red/Oscar/Duutholmel.
I feel like these guys might be bad news. Can’t place it, just something about them.
Ipreski sounds a bit like Don Diego de la Vega.
Now them’s some baggy pants!
“Any hand laid upon you is a gift- take it. Not to do so would be both poor manners and unwise.”
-Kulik the Red, “The Book of Dawn”
I’m getting a bad feeling from this lot. Something’s telling me that they’re not a wholesome sort, but I can’t quite put my finger on why…
Aha! Second panel, the red devil on the left? The one with “EVIL” on the back of his hoodie? He’s SMOKING! And I doubt that he’s reached the legal age to consume tobacco products in that jurisdiction.
Kids these days…
Oscar and his droogs were never noted for their subtlety.
Who do I have to stab around here to get an EVIL hoodie… or a part of Oscars EVIL zubaz pants?
Getting yourself a hoodie is the easier of the two. Even if you want an authentic one, there’s plenty of options for you to choose from.
As far as the pants… I think you’ll have to stab their owner acquire what you seek.
team evil plays
surprinsingly nice
I suspect these gentlemen may be bad fellows.
I can respect the effort put into this team’s outfits.
Okay, the devils have been to earth at some point in the last decade or two… that or gangster fashion has a remarkable level of convergent evolution.
EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL piehole.
So a gang of ill-reputed demons are up for the task, fitting indeed. But fighting fire with fire always ends up with burn marks
N
Y
Hmm… have a care, friends of Allis-UN. I suspect these guys might be…evil.
OMG those pants.
Kinda a hot response on White Chain’s part. I feel like I need to go back and reread is this fellow offended her particularly, or if this is just old habits dying hard.
What happened to her helm? Did I miss something?
Has that little blue heard of an Earth film called Inglorious Basterds, by any chance?
Awesome page! Loving this comic! 🙂
Street Gangs of Hell !! Next on Dr. Phil.
Me thinks they be evil.
Ahh, thugs.
They are the bane of merchants and the enemy of angels nothing good ever comes out of mixing with them.
I think the most important question that we’re all asking is- where can I get pants like those? (the one’s Oscar is wearing to be precise)
I’ve got to respect the effort put into this gang’s get-up.
the cockney influence in demon-speak is rearing its head again.
So will Oscar’s pants be in the store any time soon? because I need a pair.
Are devils soft to the touch? Or hard like angels?
Ah there IS a D in Evil afterall
I love Oscar’s new pants, but the weird new feet are a step down from the hooves. They look more like a Vert Devil’s feet than a war-some Red.
While by some cosmic coincidence the glyphs “EVIL” appear to resemble the English we in this universe know, in the language of Throne these symbols in fact translate as “FREE HUGS”.
Be wary though traveler, as a devil’s embrace is among the most evil things known, putting a mere devil’s kiss to shame. Thus the circle completes itself.
Demonic Bousouzoku should be a new fashion line…
