The City of Targo

The City of Targo is both the name of a clan of people featured in The Boy from the Bunker series, and The City they live in. Located on the far, north side of the DeadLands, The City of Targo are introduced in the final chapter of Season 2 where we learn that Kane Bell - father of Wynn, Ares, Quill and Elara - is alive after having been presumed dead since his continued absence after Wynn's Bunker was opened. However, instead of him making the treacherous journey through the DeadLands to return to his large extended family (consisting of everyone from the Bunker), we learn that he has another motive for coming back...

"Getting through the (DeadLands) isn't the hard part, it's finding your daughter," Rhea says to Kane - her quickly assumed to be one of the members of The City of Targo. "If she's in one of the clans by now, they won't give her up without a fight, and neither will your sons. For your sake, I hope you're right about her. If all of this is just your way of trying to make it back to your family-"

"It's not," Kane cuts her off. "I'm not lying about Elara. She's the one you've been waiting for. She's the Heir."

Season 2 ends on their conversation leaving the reader wondering what it means for Elara to be the Heir, and what is about to happen. Thankfully, Season 3 jumps straight into The City of Targo's arrival in the south exit of the DeadLands and they are quickly spotted by Sovereign Dreea and Bas Blackwood who are out on a scouting mission.

At the realisation that there is another clan near their territory, Dreea is eager to return back to Basilisk and report to Sol and Kodiak about their discovery, but Bas makes a shocking claim before she can do so, revealing to her that one of people standing with them is none other than Kane Bell, the father of Wynn and his siblings...

After informing the other Sovereigns and Wynn's family that Kane is alive, Dreea and Kodiak make the decision to approach their clan the next day and find out what their intentions are, only to dive headfirst into an uncomfortable conversation. Kodiak is quick to observe Kane's focus on Elara and how majority of his questions seemed to be centred around her instead of his sons and his wife meanwhile, Dreea instantly recognises the type of character Rhea is and fears how much trouble she is going to bring for Basilisk.

When they set up a meeting for Kane to reunite with his family the next day, Kodiak mentions to Ares - as his siblings' guardian - that he doesn't think it's a good idea for Elara to join them until they know more about the people that Kane is with and what their plans are regarding staying in the area or returning to where they came from. Ares agrees and instructs Elara to stay in camp whilst he leaves with Wynn, Quill and several others to meet with their father, but their conversation only leaves Ares and his brothers with the same worries.

When Elara is finally allowed outside of camp to meet with her father, they learn that Kane's intentions for coming back to find them had been to take Elara back to The City of Targo with him so she could become the Commander of their people. As this news comes to a shock to Elara and her brothers, Kane informs them that before they moved into the Bunker, he, Martha, and Ares and Wynn lived in The City of Targo and for a while, Martha was next-in-line to become Commander. Because they left The City and moved into the Bunker (and Martha died in the finale of Season 1).
