Also, going through my own comics, The asterix one (3) is ofcourse Idefix! Forgot he didn't appear right from the start. Haven't read them in ages!
That's where my guesses end. I have not read any of the other comics. I did found out that Wake is from the first panel. Looks cool, will check it out.
Afaik the idea is that you want to avoid someone to be able to convict their opponents. So make it impossible to take them out using the legal system. Makes total sense to me.
