Could you explain to me ithaqua's lore on who's who and about the eyes? I'm really confused (and dumb) because before he had blue eyes and now they're black and really confused??
yeah sure! also you're not dumb :O
ithaqua and nathaniel are identical (monozygotic, 'genetically the same') twins. when they were born, ithaqua was/appeared stillborn, leading his biological parents to leave him in the forest and pretend there was only one child. later, after the attack on ithaqua's mother, it's strongly implied that ithaqua disguised himself as nathaniel to infiltrate the town in the plateau of leng (weibo post has him note that he looked similar, and note that this would be "useful" in rescuing his mother). ithaqua then entered the "prison" (this is the phrase used in the same weibo intro) and killed nathaniel, covering up the incident as a suicide by forging his handwriting.
ithaqua has white sclera in all the scenes before he fully 'becomes' a hunter, and in the same eye colour as nathaniel. his mask has eyes with 'black sclera', and so does hunter form ithaqua (as well as helel, helios, etc)
the reason for this change is unknown, the unnatural colour could be related to his wind powers, to differentiate between the twins, or it could just be a purely style/aesthetic decision.
in ithaqua's fancy skins, helel has inhuman eyes while nebuchadnezzar does not. helios and waning crescent seem to both have black eyes.
lmk if theres anything else you wanna know i love talking abt him :D
