Horst

A mercenary and former lover of Kilé's. Killed by Dalthyr in Norshor, when Horst discovered that Dalthyr was working for Xazylk.

He does not appear in the Ebenstar trilogy, but is referenced.

Prior to joining Kilé in her investigations of Xazylk's activities in Norshor, Horst was going to retire from the life, cut his knot, and move to the Borderidge protectorate. He bought a cabin there, Plot 73-05.

He was younger than Kilé (one of many mercs she'd mentored on the road), and fell in love with her almost immediately, despite her warnings against becoming attached to fellow mercs.

Horst was a skilled swordsman, a good tracker, and a good lover.

He comes from a family of farmers, and wanted nothing more than to be able to buy his own land so he could put away the sword and also become a farmer.
