Luke Hodgkiss
Farm Hand
Luke graces us with his presence at the hollow, and though he is little his presence can be felt throughout the hollow. People shake in fear of the absolute terror that he is, from sun up to sun down. He doesn't sleep, he doesn't sit still, and at 10 years old he can probably outsmart most adults.
