It is SO hard to kill a person with either a pack of sugar or any loose small particulate.

If it were easy anyone could do it.

It's why Hobbs is so cool.

I can throw a sugar packet at a top speed of nineteen miles per hour. It just won't fly well.

The best use of non-caustic powders in a fight is as a distraction. (Toss into the eyes or to create breathing problems.) They're seldom used that way, because it's very hard to control the flight pattern of loose powders in an active combat situation.

Just like how pepper spray, when deployed by a professional, still ends up affecting them about 30% of the time.

With [Demonverse 19 - Avery Rome 3] Dragon Queen having been published at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071H9VYKR all following posts in this thread may contain spoilers for any multi-verse book up to and including Dragon Queen.

You have been warned.

Here is an updated list of which characters in the different realities are the "same" person.

Changes since the last posting of the list are marked in red.

The list has been produced using information from:
Impulse: A Whole New Day [Infected 8 - Bridget 1]
War Day [Infected 9 - Brian 3]
Shield of Innocence [Alternate Places 4 - Zack 3]
Persist [Discipline 3]
Kindred [Young Ancients 19 - Dareg 3]
Ripped Open [Infected 11 - Cin 2]
The Mask of Omegon [Gwen Farris 6]
Scales [Demonverse 17 - Avery Rome 1]
Out of the Woods [Coalescence 1]
Dragon's Eye [Demonverse 18 - Avery Rome 2]
Dragon Queen [Demonverse 19 - Avery Rome 3]

I've primarily included information about people that are explicitly mentioned in the books as being the "same" person.

There are some cases where a match has not been explicitly confirmed in the published books, which his kinda-sorta been confirmed by Dale on the forum. In that case the particular entry is prefixed with an exclaimation mark ( ! ).

I've also added a few entries that are just guesses, they are prefixed with one or more question marks ( ? ). The more question marks, the more shakey the guess.

A few people are know to originate in realities other than the main realities of the different book series. In that case I've marked them with a star (and optionally a number), same number means the same unnamed reality.

The reality that the Infected reality interacts with, from which Hobbs, Mary, Braid, and so on originate, was often referred to as "Hobbs' World" in the Infected books, so I'll use that label instead of a numbered star.

Here, in no particular order, is the list:

Kolb: Nope

Guardian Clark: Nope (Clark Clarkson/Clark for Discipline...)
Darren Westmorland: Yes. Not a question at all. *May not have died...
Billy Cavendish: Yes

[Alternate] Evelyn Hernandez (not active character, just mentioned as an actress)

Zack actually meets her at one point, I think. (Don't bet money on that though.)
