I'd say he's most likely a construct like her foundling "parents" Punch and Judy AKA Adam and Lilith Clay.

His facial structure certainly looks similar to Klaus' in these most recent panels. Nose is different, though.

I'm starting to wonder if DuPree's violent reaction to Higgs has anything to do with this.

Reminds me of how much better I liked the coloring and how much more attractive Agatha was in earlier pages. Less muscular.

Well, all that training with Zeetha has got to show some results on her physique, no?

Definitely a revenant, although I've completely forgotten who Snaug is!

It amazes me how Violetta can be so good and so bad at the same time. But at least she hopefully learned not to underestimate Zeetha's skills.

I wonder if Agatha's feelings for Gill will allow her mentally fight back against the Other that way Zeetha or Violetta would have an opportunity to put the locket back on.

I haven't read that many new comics in a row since I first started reading the series.

... now I have to wait til next Wednesday for the next one. :(

Of course the question still remains on whether she is a full blooded sibling, half sibling, step sibling, or adopted sibling. Not to mention we have to wonder why she is in the castle in the first place and why Tiktoffen referred to her last name as Wilhelm. Is that the name she gave them when she arrived? Is that really her last name? Or is that one of her aliases?

I wonder if Wilhelm Diamant knows anything about why Sanaa is in the castle. Also I wonder of Sanaa killed that guy or just beat the crap out of him? The *snap* sound and the comment about "dibs on his boots!" makes me wonder.

Before that one convict said "dibs on his boots", he did an extremely abbriviated version of the last rites, so I'm going to go with yes, that kick snapped the guy's neck.

I am definitely leaning towards him being dead but I am guessing that the fellow inmates are not doctors so they could be assuming/hoping. But in any case it's not like death is a permanent situation in the GG universe :)

Well today's comic certainly answered quite a few questions I had about Sanaa's past. But I can't help but feel that the Foglio's are dropping some hints for us or at least points to ponder during Sanna's back story.

I can't really think of any connections with past story lines. They mention Venice, where Gil and Tarvek once were I think, but other than that...nothin.

I donlt know I still have some feeling that there is a hint to a larger part of the story somewhere in her story. What it is I have no idea but I can't shake the feeling.

Well, it mentions time-travel, something that we know to be plot-significant thanks to those 'windows' that were appearing here and there. Of course, it remains to be seen whether an Ulysses engine works the same way.

I like all the little jokes in the background of today's strip. Also it is interesting to see how quickly Sanaa's personality (at least her personality that we had seen so far) changed so quickly when Othar showed up.

So does this mean that the castle we have been dealing with (up to when Agatha turned it off) the same we are dealing with now (I.E the most current back up) or has the Castle A.I that Agatha has been dealing with actually been a new A.I. that Lucreazia/The Other installed years ago?


The following theory is more than likely incorrect for various reasons but it came to mind so I felt I would share it.

What if Lucrezia transferred Agatha's brother ( Klaus Barry Heterodyne ) mind into an artificial brain/computer? That would mean the child that died during the attack on the castle was only a shell of Klaus Barry Heterodyne. Of course it could also be that lucrezia saw that her child was dieing and saw the only way to save him was to transfer his mind into an artificial brain.

My suspicions/theories on what/who Higgs really is starting to seem possibly a bit clearer. We know for a fact that the Castle know just who Higgs is but thanks to a nice beating on Higgs part it is unwilling to divulge said information at least at the current time. But with the way that the castle starts to say "your..." and than breaks off into just saying his name. That definitely makes my mind start thinking that maybe Higgs really is Agatha's brother. But he could be something else like a servant (maybe a family that serves the Heterodynes) but for the moment I am definitely leaning closer to him being Agatha's brother. Of course the Professors could just be toying with us. Also it seems that the castle Agatha has been in contact with was/is not a rogue program created by Lucrezia. But I suppose Lucrezia could have put a virus into the castle as a way to fragment its personality and cause parts to go mad.

I don't think he's her brother. At least not the one that supposedly died when the castle was attacked. So far Higgs, while a resourceful and strong individual, hasn't shown any Spark-like abilities. Certainly not strong enough to warrant being a Hetrodyne at any rate. The misplaced "Your..." means he's connected to her in some way I assume, but also remember that this bot isn't convinced that Agatha is who she claims to be. So why almost call someone "Your brother" when you're not even convinced their related? On top of that, if she knows who Higgs is, and he is Agatha's brother, then he should have been recognized as another Hetrodyne heir immediately.

Later on the bot makes the comment "He is not MY lackey" which suggests that she recognizes him as being the lackey of someone else. Maybe she was just going to call him "Your Lackey" but thought better of it.
But no. Somehow I have a feeling that Higgs here has some relation to Lucrezia. Perhaps an old minion, a past experiment, a sibling, or MAYBE he's Agatha's half brother. The bot still hasn't been entirely convinced that Agatha is not Lucrezia.

I think I'm going to jump on the theory that Agatha's true brother, the one who died during the attack, waits for her down at the bottom of the pit in the body of some mechanical beast. I have a good feeling that the night that the castle was attacked is the same night that Lucrezia attempted a mind transferring experiment on her own son in the effort of granting herself immortality. But something went horribly wrong.

He took out the Pirate Queen, without killing her... twice. Then drug her and the Baron out of a blimp afterwards. Not only that, but he knew exactly where to hit the Muse to disable her (not destroy her) in a single blow. Not only has he displayed some Spark knowledge, but he's more than proven himself more powerful than some of the supposed top tier in the series. He's probably a Heterodyne.
