Citizen Of Alain’s Court # 27 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

In the “Death In Venice” story from Endless Nights, Sergei traveled to a small island near Venice, after being haunted by a memory of encountering Death on the island when he was a small boy.

When he returned to the island he once again met Death and she asked him to help her try to open a gate that prevented her from entering the court of Alain, who had been able to cheat death by reliving a single day repeatedly for several centuries.

Sergei was able to kick down the gate and he and Death were able to enter the court in 1751.

Together they walked through the small kingdom and encountered several people as they passed through the court.

Once Death confronts Alain, the citizens of his court begin to fade away. This woman is one of the citizens of Alain’s court.

She appears in Endless Nights, in “Death In Venice” on page 20, in panel 7.

Dreamer # 114 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In Dream Hunters, the Monk enters The Dreaming in hopes of saving the life of the fox who visits his small monastery and who, in turn, had saved his life from the dark dreams implanted by the Onmyoji.

As he walked through the dream realm he encountered many strange things, but perhaps the strangest was when he finally encountered the Lord Of Dreams.

When the Monk finally stood before Dream he implored him to save the life of the fox. The Monk noticed, within the robes of the Dream King, faces of the sleepers and dreamers flitted through the fabric.

This Dreamer is one of the faces that the Monk saw within the folds of the cloth.

She appears in P. Craig Russell’s Dream Hunters # 3, on page 19, in panel 4.

Wolf (illustrated by Te’Shawn Dywer)

In The Kindly Ones, The Corinthian and Matthew are sent, by Dream, to locate the missing Daniel.

As they draw nearer to the location of the child, The Corinthian is attacked by a large wolf.

I have been unable to determine if this is a common wolf or if it is somehow affiliated with Loki. It seems a bit big to be a common wolf. It’s possible that this wolf is Fenrir (or Fenris).

This wolf appears in Sandman # 64, on page 21.
