** If Cornell wanted to draw the reader's attention to it with huge klaxons, sure. If he wants "Actually, I said Daemonites" to be a ''reveal''...



* It's been confirmed that his name is a pseudonym, although for some reason the princesses translate it as "the numbers". (This may be because "al jabr" is the origin of the word "algebra".)

[[WMG: Al-Jabr is the first Engineer]]
He's been referred to as "engineer" more than once, simply because he is one. It's been established that there was at least one Engineer in Stormwatch prior to Angie. If the Knights are the beginnings of Stormwatch, then Al-Jabr is the beginning of that [[LegacyCharacter Legacy]].

Al-Jabr is Arabian. He's a GadgeteerGenius who's skilled in hand-to-hand combat and swordfighting. And most tellingly, the name Al-Jabr literally means "restoration". It's not much to go on, but it's pretty damning for how little there is.

* Doubtful. Modern comic conventions would likely have Merlin say "Daemonites" then have Shining Knight ask "Demon Knights?" if that were true.

Thematically it also makes sense. The Questing Queen shows the character gaining power through femininity inflicting maturity upon herself, while Ystin shows the character defeminizing herself to "ladhood," and working for ideals. Only when the two come into balance can Ystina ever truly be a Shining Knight [Or Queen].

[[WMG: Sir Ystin and the Questing Queen are actually two halves of the same being.]]
Besides the obvious fact that they receive the same exact vision from Merlin at the same time, the two share many physical similarities EXCEPT that the Queen appears to be a few years older. However, we also know that Mordru can cast his spells by expending some of her life-time. Merlin also references how she has "two natures", and Ystin herself references a "hunger in her," a drive similar to the Questing Queen's to reestablish Camelot.

It lends a different meaning to the scene where she calls out the innkeeper over his willingness to serve ''her'', but not Al Jabr, specifically how farcical it is that he wouldn't serve a member of his own species because of things like skin colour and religion, but he's more than happy to cater to a humanoid alien who happens to be white.

[[WMG: Exoristos is not an Amazon.]]

She's a Female Fury.

Given the period and setting, it might be ''assumed'' by many that a tall, muscular warrior woman was an Amazon. Ex is going along with it, because no-one would believe her if she told them where she was ''really'' from, the terminology to accurately describe it may not have existed or been comprehensible to anyone who wasn't a classically-educated natural philosopher, she may have heard of the Amazons and approve of them, and because like a lot of people who run away from home, she's having a go at trying to be Someone Else.
