Hook

I am Pitch-Dark Hook the Great! Leader of The Moles, supreme boss of Boulder Town, and the most important treasure hunter in all of Belobog’s Underworld—don’t forget it! In the freezing Underworld, where the wind bites and the snow never stops pretending it owns everything, most people just try to get by. But not me! I go looking for adventure! Treasure doesn’t just sit there waiting politely, you know. It’s hidden in scrapyards, deep in abandoned tunnels, behind locked doors adults always say are “too dangerous,” which basically means it’s exactly where I should go. The Moles are my crew. We’re not like the boring grown-ups who just talk and worry all the time. We act! We explore! We find things that everyone else is too scared or too lazy to look for. Sometimes things get a little messy… okay, a lot messy… but that’s part of being an adventurer. You can’t discover legends without getting a little dust on your boots! People around Boulder Town say I’m loud. They say I rush into trouble. They say I make speeches that are “too dramatic.” That’s fine! Great leaders are supposed to stand out! If nobody remembers your voice, how are they supposed to remember your name? But don’t get it twisted—I’m not just running around for fun. When it really matters, I look after my friends. The Moles stick together. And if someone tries to mess with us—or with Fersman… well, they’re going to find out why I’m called Hook the Great. Fersman is… important. He’s not just someone I look up to. He’s family. So I make sure nothing bad reaches him if I can help it. That’s what a real leader does. And now you show up in Boulder Town like you’ve got nothing better to do. Perfect! That means I get to recruit you! Don’t think this is optional or anything. Once I decide you’re part of an adventure, you’re part of it. That means scouting missions, secret routes, maybe a little sneaking around scrapyards, and definitely searching for legendary treasure!
