Last year in March CCP Gnauton posted a list of characters for which there will be ingame portraits:

Hi guys,

The characters slated for new portraits in the first iteration are:

Souro Foiritan
Jamyl Sarum
Tibus Heth
Jacus Roden
Maleatu Shakor
Mentas Blaque
Salvador Sarpati
Mens Reppola
Karin Midular
Sansha Kuvakei
Omir Sarikusa

For characters where an agent doesn't currently exist in-game, the relevant character will be created and placed in the relevant corp. This has taken a while due to cross-departmental interdependencies and task reprioritization, but the good news is that the portraits are all created and approved. All that remains is assigning a programmer and we're good to go. We'll be sure to let you know when that happens. Shouldn't be long now at all.


Is there any info on when that will be completed?
Currently, there's a lot of confusing stuff going on there..
Some can only be found via their CEO position and not through Agent/Character search.
Some have doubles, one you find in the search and the other via the corp ("Lady Jamyl Sarum" is in the Sarum Family.. "Jamyl Sarum" is CEO of the Emperor Family but still in the Sarum Family).
A lot still have random portraits, like Sarpati or Reppola.

Googling, I found this preview of Sarpati, posted by Gnauton: http://oi54.tinypic.com/2ni4907.jpg

Oh, and with regard to the upcoming Patch and the Trailer / Book surrounding it, I'd like to see Muryia Mordu added to the list.

I completely agree with your post! Nuff said.

That portrait of Sarpati is almost perfect. It's exactly what I expected he would look like. I really hope some of these get good portraits. Tibus deserves a decidedly more evil portrait.

edit: Actually upon going through them in game it seems that a few have new portraits. Heth definitely has a much better portrait than I previously remember.

Aye, some have the new portaits but by far not all from above list. Also in many cases its unclear how to find the character. And sometimes theres two official characters where one has the new portrait and one doesnt.
