INFERNO
Webcomic
About
INFERNO is a webcomic created by Hal Thomasin Coolatta. It revolves around four main characters: Jack, Fritjov, Sterling, and Donovan, and their "adventures" on Pakao, the planet often called "Hell." Jack and Fritjov play detectives underneath the ruler, tasked with tracking down criminals. Later they come across more morally grey foes, and are forced to make choices. The primary themes of this webcomic are self-growth, the confrontation of one's past, and family.

He is generally nervous, and is quick to give away the location of others to Cain in order to confirm his own safety. His background revolves around him growing up in a heavily religious background, his mother raising him the same way she was("She was raised in the bible belt, and acted as if she never left"). This leads to an obviously strained relationship between the two, and mentions of his older brother leaving due to his mother's treatment is mentioned. He does not have a relationship with his father, due to him leaving when he and his brother were very young.
