Folan Rittor, better known as "The Duke Rittor," was a major character in the life of Balor Ebonthal and the book The Hunter-King. He was described as being short for a Far Northerner, standing only at six feet and one half tall, but he made up for the height difference in being incredibly wide. His breastplate, worn in the Rittor-Jaelian War was reduced to nothing but two flat plates held together by leather straps when the Ebonthal came to be.
