Sir Hokus of Pokes is a character in the later Oz books by Ruth Plumly Thompson. He is first introduced in The Royal Book of Oz. Sir Hokus is a valiant knight, always eager to fight dragons and giants. Yet, he also possesses a softer side, indicated by his "kind, timid face and melancholy blue eyes." Sir Hokus is an elderly man upon his first appearance in the Oz story; he "dated back to king Arthur, in fact, and had been wished into the Land of Oz centuries before by an enemy sorcerer."
