Well... what a coincidence. Family gatherings must be interesting there.
Allthough despite it's ties to the duke, it's curious to see that it is number two on the most wanted list. Probably die with less attention, if there would be a small sum offered for it's head, if any. I mean even, if it goes 'round shouting that it is the half-brother of the Duke, who would believe it?
Not to mention what harm could it do to the nazys? Knock over a few collum of infantry or some supply trucks? Impale one or two soldiers? Urinate on their propaganda posters? Scare the children?
It's just an animal which can die easily as any man or beast. Given it's size, it probably isn't very good at ambushes or hiding and considering that most nazy probably know how to operate aim and shoot weapons at close range, a few bursts of MP44 (the assault rifle you are using often) and it will be gifted with several new breething holes.
As for the affair or Stilfser jealousy. Well he must think really low on Sara or himself to suspect an affair with Sara and a subhuman (a Ybrid don't have anything between it's legs so I suppose it's a pre-Ybrid suspicion). I mean having a "weak body, short statue, low intelligence, scarce social skills and being sterile"... doesn't sound like jackpot to me. But who knows? It's Stilfser who we talk about, he ate boiled pasta without anything when he was a kid.

Well, no. what the number 1,2,3 most wanted ybrids do... is to empty concentration camps overnight
The evening before everything is regular, and the morning after all the ybrids are gone. Puf!
No nazy guard is injured or harmed in any way during the process The trio starts with small and isolated camps, and it is almost impossible to predict where they will "attack" (towards the end of the story the C.C. are more than 10.000).
It seems impossible that 3 half-beasts can overcome armed nazy guards, but ybrids make the most out of their misshapen bodies... Also keep in mind that because ybrids are mild and docile and there is a chronic shortage of personnel, the guards of the camps are always at the bare minimum (that's why they recurr to prisoners to watch over the ybrids)
But don't worry the nazy party is never endangered by these 3! they are just a big pain in the neck, that's all.
Also they are the most wanted ybrids, of course the nazys are also trying to catch the human members of the chrysantemum party, who fight their ideological war in a more conventional way: bombs, terrorist attacks, kidnapping of family members of powerful nazys, etc.
And for the love-affair: in fact Fosco (the human name of this sort of minotaur) was one of Stilfser's best friends, along with Dumka (also a sub-human), so he had many occasions to meet Sara. Stelvio is not the kind of super-jealous-paranoid guy, but at a certain point, all evidences suggest that something has happened between Fosco and Sara: they both start to behave strangely and disappear around the same time... and Stelvio has the atrocious suspect that she might have become an Ybrid herself, and that the cause of this is precisely Fosco.

I see...
Quick question? How can be a chronic shortage of personel? There's 230 million humans in EPTA, is it really so hard to find a few who would stand around in guard towers? And what about these "small and isolated" camps? Isn't it more efficient to maintain a few, but complex death-factory and focus on these? I mean these are Ybrids that we talk about, they don't need to be lured into a shower to get gassed, just put them on a conveyor belt that leads to a giant furnace and have something at the end of the belt that pushes them onwards the flames and you are all set. You might surround the belt by metal walls so they cannot get anywhere but to the furnace. Like a big scone making machine.
Also... don't they start encircle their camps with anti-personnel mines after these renegade beasts actions and overall Crimson Chrysanthemum Party activity? I mean, on a nation scale those things are relatively cheap to produce and they are an one time expense with no danger at all to their own personel. Everyone can cut through a pile of barbed wire, but I find it difficult to imagine Akki with a metal detector or poking the ground with a knife to search for them.
Anyway, I'm getting carried away. So again, I see why is he a pain in the neck, only a bit saddened on the nazy's poor decissions in management.
As for the love affair and Stelvio's suspicion... well, big guy. Only one way to find out ... I mean even, if she becomes a Class A, it would be quite easy to find out.

I'll try to be short No way..
1. Shortage of personel
I cut and paste here the calculations I did looooong ago to determine how many active people there are in the party
I hope they are understandable
260.000.000 overall popolation
100.000.000 active population (male + female above the age of 21 and below 75, we don't want kid or granny soldiers, right?
oh, well it might be an intersting idea )
50.000.000 nazys active members + supporters (supporters are people who vote for the party, but do nothing more)
20.000.000 active nazi (people in some degree involved in the party activities)
10.000.000 active male nazis (women cannot serve as soldiers, they do only burocratic tasks, because I'm a chauvinist )
At least half of those male-active-nazys are either serving in the Army or doing other more useful jobs (like growing crops and building houses, trading, working in hospitals, etc)
So at the very best, we have 5 mln male nazys available, spread in the 3 branches of the nazy party:
2.000.000 main party (black pentika)
1.000.000 the "jager" ( the red pentika )
3.000.000 for the system of the concentration camps, the KKK.
The camps are 10.000, so we have an average of 300 guards per camp.
Camps vary in size, they house from 1 thousand to 1-2 millions (!) ybrids each.
That's why I came to the conclusion that there is a shortage of personell!
I've already made a comic abut the duke begging the king to give him some soldiers to watch the camps, because they are owewhelmed by ybrids (It was published on da but i've taken it down because of its ugliness)
2. Furnace blasting ybrids?
this is an amazing idea!!! They may as well throw them in the hole of the big Volcano!!
Seriously this idea is quite good.. I might find a way to use it somehow.. if you don't mind, of course!!
3. Isolated camps
Half of the population is not nazy (see calculations above ) , they support the king or other parties, or don't give a damn about the nazys' crusade. Most of these people however wouldn't be very happy to know what happens for real in the camps...
And as a rule of thumb, controversial matters are always better dealt privately and discreetely..
4. How to counteract the Trio actions
Your idea is not bad at all , and if you say it is cheap, I believe it 100% . But Stilfser's solution is even cheaper and more his style: (since no guard is hurt in the process) he simply passes it off as a great success for the party... He delivers an exalted speech where he praises the guards of the camp for their achievement: all the Ybrids in their custody exterminated in only one night! YAY!!
He's such a shameless liar... And there is never shortage of Ybrids... in a week or so the camp is full again, no worry..

I. Well that was really informative and I know how th Duke was trying to redirect the army for this task, but - cleans throat - am I missing something? Hasn't the coup occured, when the concentration camps were builded, thus submit all control of the nation's military and resources at the party disposal? Or does the Emperor just let's an influencial political opponent run amok, collecting the slave labour (and his own kind) and starts killing them off with their own sizeable private army? It's like the Pharaor in Egypt would've let some commoner citizen army begin killing off the slaves and carve out lands from the nation. Either he is really weak or somehow he wants the Ybrids to fester on the planet's surface even more. Allthough I don't believe in the prior or else the nazys wouldn't need to beg for manpower.
II. Be my guest. My story don't involve industrialized genocide, so I probably won't going to use it. Glad my weird half was a service to somebody, somehow .
III. Still I get it, but a camp can be big in the middle of nowhere with nothing but one or two railway leading to it. Heck, if they are so worried about public relations, they just build a factory in the side of it and say that they make guns for the Empire and Crown. Those places already probithed to enter by civillians and people would gobble up the secrecy and well guarded outlook like a charm.
IV. And really clever, but that does not solve the problem it was builded for to begin with.... but he is a politician after all. Ordering a few hundred thousant landmines appears to be more expensive than the original task ahead. They believe that they can exterminate Ybrids after all, so they shouldn't work in vain.

I'm assuming that somewhere down the line in the comic we'll find out what the difference between a ybrid and something like Antonio is, and exactly how a human can become a ybrid.
Or if there's a reference sheet that I missed can ya link it?
That being said Fosco is gorgeous, but I can see that he has a lot of anger, and some sadness. I love his horns. Beautiful blood-red color.

I love your info sheets I can't get enough of them. Why, if it weren't for the sake of good storytelling I suspect we'd both have comics made entirely of info sheets.

Era obbligatorio, mica è il primo pg che hai presentato che si converte da umano a Ybrido senza apparente motivo. 83

E quei due si amano alla follia! perché avrebbe dovuto andare con 'sto qui??

Davvero bella l'immagine di profilo, in particolare mi piace quel collo muscoloso da cui cade quella "criniera" di capelli. Niente male pure le occhiaie, gli da quell'aria pallidina-dannata che garba sempre.
Mi son perso da qualche parte il processo in cui l'umano diventa ibrido? =0

Somehow the duke's expression makes me laugh. Not somehow, I know exactly how. It's this joke...and there's a goat...and one wonder's what he expected...and perhaps I shouldn't say any more before I start laughing my head off! I guess for the bullfight he's actually a bull, but he looks more like a goat to me. Nice colors, i love the red horns.
