Horkin (? AC - ? AC) was a brown robed mage, pudgy, with a thick neck and not a single hair anywhere on his face. He was red faced, and had startlingly blue eyes.

He served in the Mad Baron's army, in the Baron's fortress, built on an inlet on New Sea, far east of Solace. He had not taken the choice of passing the Test in the Tower of Wayreth, and like all such mages, wore the brown robes.

He was Raistlin Majere's instructor and mentor when the newly Red robed mage had decided to earn hard steel in combination with sword and spell.

Horkin had served with the Baron on many a battle and siege, and he had procured many spellbooks, some of great power, into his possession. He speaks of the Alubrey expedition were amongst others, a Black Robe spellbook with great powers was taken.

Raistlin came to like the mage, and sometimes procured a sense of humor from the man, and Horkin began to understand the darkness that surrounded the mage's soul. In a council with the Mad Baron, Horkin adamantly told the court that Raistlin was cleverer than he.

Horkin acknowledged Raistlin's bravery and deeds in battle by addressing him by his real name, instead of simply, Red, as the campaign to siege the city of Hope's End came to a close.
