History: Jakita Wegener's past history

She exists in a cold war with other "Karcists"
(sorcerers/magicians?), which are played out over years, slowly
and formally, like chess. She has extensive experience in magical
combat.
(Hellstorm#14)-Walking down Riverside Drive and West 133rd Street, Jakita felt a targeting sweep evaluate her. She soon found herself confronted by "the Armorer", who sought to kill her and use her body parts for magical armor, as part of a plot to grant the demon Zahgurim control over all of the souls in Manhattan. She formed a shield, projected a blast, and planned to teleport to safety, but "the Armorer" shrugged off her attack and shredded her shield as if it were nothing. Fortunately, Hellstorm arrived in time to save her.
Comments: Created by Warren Ellis and Peter Gross.
Per Robert London:
"Doesn't the Ellis-written Planetary
have a main character named "Jakita Wagner"? I doubt
this is a coincidence: could the man create TWO characters named
"Jakita" randomly? I'd be interested in hearing
whether that name holds some signifigance."--I
personally don't know. Anyone have any info to share?
