Coll
From deserter to road-shepherd, Coll guides refugees and rebuilds Hollowmere's spine.
Coll began his journey as a deserter who became the guardian of an orphan band in Book 1. At thirty years old during those early days, he eventually found stability through carpentry before taking on a far more critical role. By the winter of Book 9, now roughly thirty-two, he transformed into a 'road-shepherd,' leading desperate refugees from the north safely to Hollowmere.
