Baron Loken Hollosmith (He/Him)
The Hand that Wields the Spear
Loken Hollosmith is the latest of the most powerful fighters that the Kingdom of Stopstalk has ever seen. In times past, the Hollosmith General has always been the head guard and advisor to the Sovereign. However, since the death of King Zeus and subsequent distancing between Stopstalk and the Dhucose elves, the Hollosmiths have instead guarded the borders of the kingdom, separated from the Queen up high in Castle Delphi.Social

Contacts & Relations
Throughout the Dhucose Campaign, Loken was the guardian and advisor to King Zeus. Not only his closest ally, but his closest friend. The two had trained together, traveled all across the kingdom together, fought together, and bled together. No two soldiers were closer, no two soldiers fought better at each other's backs. Powerful warriors on their own, the two made an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
Loken was at the battle of Eros where Zeus was felled. He had moved off to command his ranks of Salamander Knights not moments before the arrow struck. Loken led the charge into the bloodbath that would take place that day, lost in a rage of grief. He regards this day as his worst failure.
After that battle and the retreat of the Dhucose Elves, Loken retired as King's Guard with the permission of Queen Leto. He re-organised his armies as a guard force to patrol the borders of the river.
