Hentzau is a main character in Reckless

Biography[]

Prior to the beginning he has already spent six years aboveground. At some point Hentzau met Kami'en, and together they beat the other Goyl chiefs in the span of two years. Thus Kami'en became the first ever King of the Goyl, and Hentzau was appointed to the highest military rank. He is the first jasper Goyl to have done so.

Reckless[]

Main article: Reckless

Hentzau is first introduced as the right-hand man of the King. He is sent for by Kami'en to see him. Kami'en reveals that the Dark Fairy has seen a human growing a skin of jade in her dreams, and that the human was in the Hungry Forest, which infuriates him, since the Hungry Forest is far away.

Physical Appearance[]

Hentzau is a brown-jasper Goyl. Like all Goyl, he has golden eyes. The cold air makes his stone skin as brittle as chalk and terribly craggy. The years of sunlight from being aboveground has clouded his eyes and made his eyesight dim and poor. His sense of smell has also been greatly dulled in comparison to other Goyl.

Personality[]

Relationships[]

King Kami'en[]

Hentzau is called by many Kami'en bloodhound, or his jasper shadow. Hentzau has served under Kami'en since they challanged the other Goyl chiefs. Hentzau thinks his Kami'en can read his mind. The Dark Fairy states she would've loved to kill Hentzau, but Kami'en would forgive his death even less than that than of his future bride, Amalie of Austry, the reigning Empress, Therese of Austry's daughter, and that Hentzau was perhaps even closer to Kami'en than she (the Dark Fairy) was,

The Dark Fairy[]

Hentzau openly hates Kami'en's mistress, and has a great fear of her because of the stories that are told about Fairies, and also because of the water she, like all Fairies are born of. Hentzau says that he will die for his King if neccessary, but to search for the daydreams of his mistress was something else.

Nesser[]

Main article: Nesser

Nesser, too, has skin of brown jasper, although like all Goyl women, her skin is suffused with amethyst. Hentzau is fond of Nesser, so is strict with her. Also, when chasing Will when Nesser goes down Hentzau lets out an enraged howl (though Nesser does not die).
