Rezo asked Jeremy Robert Johnson:

Read SC. Twice. Well, everything I would like to say, was already said. The sun is hot, water is wet and Skullcrack City was fucking brilliant. Now, my question: English isn't my native language, it's Georgian. Vakthang is a man's name there, a bit old-fashioned maybe (i.e.The King, 'Gorgasali'), but just the same. (Something like Shenanigans Patrick) Do your Vakhtangs have anything to do with our Vakhtangs? Thanks!

Jeremy Robert Johnson Hi, Dornez,

First, thanks for the kind words re: SC.

Second, without giving too much away, the name is very much related to the Georgian roots you indicate, although I grabbed it from further back in its etymology, when it may have been tied to ancient wolf cults or "wolf-blooded" people. Which, when you think about the side effects of the Hex...

Best,

JRJ
