A dark aspect of the Traveler, this god/divine entity has played a major role in Frank’s life. Worshipped by the cult that included Frank’s parents, the Hound is vicious and cavalier. The magic he grants to his followers formed the basis of the half-orc singer’s magical training, and he maintains a strong connection to Frank. Spike encountered an avatar of the Hound (portrayed as a crazed shifter) when his mark intruded on Frank’s magic, and the being robbed him of his hearing, demanding five deaths for its return.
