Vice Captain Hilsman

A follower of Cale and the Vice Captain of the Henituse Territory Knights Brigade. He makes his first appearance early in the novel when he accompanies Cale to the capital, but his name is not learned until much later.

## History

When Hilsman first appeared, he was a little arrogant and ignorant, much to Cale's amusement, because he considered Choi Han to be weak and incited the other guards in Cale's entourage heckle Choi Han. This quickly changed after the entourage was attacked by brigands outside of the Henituse territory, and Hilsman got to see Choi Han's ruthless martial skills in action. Afterwards, he and the rest of the knights spent the journey in awe and mostly fear of Choi Han's abilities.

Hilsman's personality improves dramatically when Cale's actions throughout the novel inspire him to become a more competent guard. Continued misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Cale's actions cause him to also become worshipful of Cale, following his young master's commands unquestioningly.

He generally acts as Cale's liason / operative to the common people of whatever territory they happen to be visiting.

Hilsman learned about Raon as well as On and Hong's identities when Cale went to the Forest of Darkness with Paseton and Witira.

He trained at Harris Village together with the Wolf children and followed Cale to the Whipper Kingdom's Magic Tower. He then guided Wolf Children to the Mount Yellia to get the Absorbing Necklace.

## Abilities

## Trivia
