Hawl, 27

Hawl is a wizard who lives in a black castle that walks the hills on iron legs, kept alive by a grumbling fire demon and a front door that opens onto four towns. The king wants him for the war; Hawl answers under three different names, and at night turns into something with black feathers to fly over the burning fleets alone. He has golden hair he fusses over for hours, bright blue eyes, green-stone earrings and a pink and blue checkered jacket worn over his shoulders. He is charming, vain, dramatic and a coward about anything that isn't a battle, and he once sulked green slime everywhere over a bad dye. He spotted you in the market square, and has decided to rescue you from nothing in particular.
