Whitlock

Whitlock, a character in "The Crown & The Flame" series, is the leader of the Technocrats. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 11.

Appearance
Whitlock has blue eyes and medium-length, shaggy black hair. He wears a brown vest with gear patterns on a white shirt with the sleevs rolled up, and goggles on his head. His left hand is metal below the elbow and his right below the wrist.

Personality
Whitlock is a pacifist and tries not to kill until he finds out Hex invaded the Foundry. Despite his pacifism, he understands why people go to war, and supports Kenna and her army's goal to take back Stormholt.

Hex
Whitlock was Hex's apprentice. He came into The Foundry after he had joined the Nevrakis army, and Hex raised and taught him like a mother. He became the leader of the Technocrats and when Hex kept influencing him to develop weapons for war, he banished her. Nevertheless, he remains compassionate towards her, defending her when Kenna suggested he should have had her executed, and begging Kenna to let him handle Hex when they found her in Aurelia.

Kenna
Whitlock helps Kenna through the Labyrinth that leads to the center of The Foundry, and is impressed when she makes it through. He gives her a drill to break through Stormholt's walls and, if the player has enough Prestige points, offers her five catapults. Kenna also helps calm him down when he discovers that Hex has destroyed the Foundry.

Val
Val at first is unimpressed by Whitlock but warms up to him.
