Hob

He grew up and orphan and ward in the monastery of the Sky Father. The monks of this order were famed for brewing a sacred ale. Every year they wait for Blackout Eve so that St. Helmsworth will come and bless that year's brew. He was noticed by the captain of the guard in Kalinar- Ludwig Herzog and is an unwavering servant of the Orth family. Hob is often asked to carry out less official and sometimes seedier tasks on behalf of the Orths.

He is returning from neighboring Rangoon having delivered an official message to a member of the Orth family who lives there.
