Description
Hidow the Clamp is the twentieth official of the Aureatia Kingdom, holding the rank of minister or noble within the city-state’s hierarchy. He is a young aristocrat characterized by an outwardly arrogant demeanor as a privileged heir, yet he possesses considerable talent and leadership qualities that command genuine respect from those around him. This combination of pride and capability allows him to navigate the complex political landscape of Aureatia effectively.
In the unfolding conflict between Aureatia and the New Principality of Lithia, Hidow takes a proactive role by seeking out powerful allies. He approaches the warrior Soujirou the Willow-Sword and the traveler Yuno the Distant Talon, proposing a strategic alliance. Recognizing their strength, he offers them a significant incentive: if they assist him in the impending war by completing a mission to eliminate his enemy, Taren the Guarded, he will use his influence as one of the twenty-nine officials to secure them support in a major competition that both Soujirou and Yuno are interested in. This demonstrates his pragmatic and calculating nature, as he is willing to make political bargains to achieve his objectives.
His political maneuvering extends further, as he is also known to release a dangerous and notorious figure named Nihilo the Vortical Stampede. This action suggests he is willing to utilize terrifying assets from the past, such as a revenant of the former demon lord, as part of his larger strategy. His key relationships involve not only the warriors he recruits but also his position as a supporter of another powerful entity, Alus the Star Runner, indicating where his political loyalties lie within the kingdom's power structure. Hidow’s role in the story is therefore that of a political architect and facilitator, setting events in motion by commissioning powerful fighters and unleashing dangerous forces rather than being a frontline combatant himself. While his notable abilities are less about personal combat prowess and more about his strategic acumen, political authority, and talent for recognizing and manipulating the strengths of others to serve his agenda, he is portrayed as someone who can hold his own among the formidable figures of the realm due to his exceptional intellect and influence.
