After being trapped in Perdition Port for two years, Dex had become a well-known rebel leader wanted by the Demonic Empire. He is focused on strategy and leadership rather than combat, but can still prove useful in a time of need.

FINALIZATIONS
As we begin focusing on the storyboard process, we have finalized the pilot's script and character designs to make them better, more in style, and easier to draw.
Here are some examples. Hopefully by the next letter, a storyboard will be complete enough to show.
