Horus

Horus was saved from a village being destroyed by his grandfather when he was a baby who fled the burning village in a boat. Horus has since lived in a run down boatmadehouse on the river shoreline. Horus has lived a very hard life since the area is full of dangerous animals such as wolves. It is his savagery from living such a hard life that allows him to kill the Pike that a group of grown men could not and it is his own desperate loneliness through which he can identify with Hilda and try to help her overcome her own suffering.
