Hinter is a mad sorcerer who sleeps within his haunted tower, where wraiths are trapped in nightmares. His presence is known through this grim, uncanny reputation rather than through a developed personal history or close relationships. The tale leaves his fate and wider story unelaborated.

Description

The text offers no concrete description of Hinter’s face, body, coloring, hair, or clothing. He is identified as a male sorcerer and associated with a haunted tower, but those details do not establish his appearance. For a faithful portrayal, leave his physical features unspecified and let his stillness and eerie reputation shape the impression.
