The Green Bone Saga · Character
Kaul Hiloshudon
Also known as Hilo-jen, Horn of No Peak, Hilo
- Major
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 2
A lean, athletic man in his prime who appears surprisingly youthful, often dressed in expensive tailored suits with the top buttons of his shirt undone to display embedded jade along his collarbone. He carries himself with casual insolence, shoulders curled forward and elbows jutting, his face frequently arranged in a relaxed, lopsided smile that makes him look barely older than a teenager.

Description
A human man with a notably youthful-looking, open, boyish face that can turn severe and dangerous. Small jade studs form a long line embedded along his collarbone like a necklace fused into his skin; he is slighter than Gont. His clothing varies from tailored shirts and jackets to suits, and he often wears his shirt open enough to show the jade.
