Lorhan is a sailor who was sent by his master to deal with Roper Klacks, but ended up being turned into solid rock, having his soul locked in the Soulstone, and becoming the gate keeper and anchor to the floating castle. Lorhan is of a humanoid race we are given no detail on: while he has the long, jutting-out ears of the statues on Alais, he lacks the blue skin of the Dolmari and instead has a pale pinkish colouring. He also seems to be covered in fine grey hair.
