Holtz

The hardened royal overseer to King Humanman. He was once a large figure in a rebellion against the same king, but turned on them to be given amnesty and a seat on the council. He has no tolerance for error and as such has made an art form of using people to what they are capable of and giving direction to what would ordinarily be dismissed as incompetence.

Underbite Rebellion
As a the youngest member of the Cloaks to ever hold his rank within the secretive organization, many believed a bright future ahead of him. He was entrusted with much of the logistics of the rebellion and was largely the only reason that the pretender to the throne of Terrán, who's claim the rebellion rested in, was kept out of reach of the king's forces. Yet he was not made privy to the plan brought to Chief Underbite by Dosher Quines to frame the crown for the ordered assassination of the chief's daughter Miraza, Holtz's secret lover. After the bounty hunter Barin successfully completed the job, Holtz was both distraught and outraged, and sought vengeance for whomever was responsible. Naturally investigating further, he discovered the true plot and that the rebellion was responsible. Overcome with anger, he surrendered to the King, pledging allegance and offering logistical information key to tracking down the elusive Underbite forces. The King accepted and gave Holtz a governmental position before utilizing his intel to quickly root out the rebellion. Knowing the Cloaks would escape justice, he set himself on a long and patient quest for vengeance from those responsible for Miraza's death.

Bad Company
Holtz made use of many figures of specific talent with less than stellar backgrounds. In this vein, Holtz assembled an expendable task force from some local criminals under the eye of one of the crownguard's newest recruits, Tim Horton. This group included Feet Firefetus, Chauncey, and Guy Dirvish. Holtz made effective use of this group to finally dispose of those he felt were still guilty of Miraza's death using them to probe out and give him evidence of the Cloak's continued activities and Dosher Quine's function in the organization. Later, he made use of their destructive tendencies to dispose of the bounty hunter Barin as well as the entirety of the Underbite and the Narrows gangs. With other political pieces moving into place and in the power vacuum the Bad Company had created for him, he planned to move against the King quickly to install a puppet ruler. Gaining several key sponsors of his plan, including Duke Folle, he began his move against the King by eroding his image as he sent the Bad Company to be taken in to the dungeon of Duke Folle and disposed of.
