Horris Thrym is a human man and a former member of The Knights of Requital in Zadash. As an NPC, Horris was played by Matthew Mercer.

Description

Appearance

He has blond hair.

Personality

Horris is visibly nervous and tense when dealing with The Knights of Requital, The Gentleman, and other shady or illegal groups. He is fully supportive of his partner, Dolan, and has been shown to be kind and selfless, taking the fall for the disgrace of their practice and leaving the city in Dolan's stead. Despite his skepticism Horris does believe in the Knight's cause and snaps at Beauregard for tearing down everyone's ideas without offering any viable alternatives.

Biography

Background

Horris was the head physician at The Guided Hand Infirmary within the Interstead Sprawl with his partner Dolan Thrym. Ren Sutan took control of their practice, his clients and much of their wealth sometime in 834 PD. Horris took the brunt of the fall from public opinion.

"Zemnian Nights" (2x11)

Horris attended a meeting of the Knights of Requital and met Beauregard Lionett, Fjord and Caleb Widogast. There, the Knights discussed their plan to turn High Richter Dayana Prucine and Lord Diedric Sutan against each other by breaking into Lord Sultan's house and stealing personal effects to forge a letter plotting an assassination.

"Lost & Found" (2x13)

After the Mighty Nein had completed their infiltration mission of the Sutan Estate and the home of the High Richter, Dolan and Horris feared that they would be found out and additionally blamed for the attack on the Zauber Spire . In the process of packing to escape the city together, they were interrupted by Fjord and Beau who helped them understand the situation at hand, and helped to remind them of the risks they had been willing to take. With some discussion their nerves were calmed, and they agreed that Dolan should stay to see the thing through, while Horris should go with the Mighty Nein. With the Nein's help, Dolan and Horris agreed he would find a way to leave Zadash, just in case things were to turn against them.

"Fleeting Memories" (2x14)

The Mighty Nein escorted Horris to the Evening Nip, putting a sack on his head before bringing him inside. They handed him over to the Gentleman's group for smuggling out of the city.

"Have Bird, Will Travel" (2x23)

The Mighty Nein were reunited with Horris in the swamp town of Berleben. He expressed his displeasure with the town and asked if it was safe to return to Zadash. The Mighty Nein said the gates were still under heavy watch, recommending he stay put until they returned and gave word of his safety and location to Dolan.

"Fond Farewells" (2x141)

Horris and Dolan were present at Zeenoth and Thoreau Lionett's trial, where Beauregard learned that Dolan was now High-Richter of Zadash.
