Fulish du Houvan

Fulish du Houvan (フーリシュ・ドゥ・ホーバン, Fūrishu du Hōban), was a character in the "Skeleton Knight in Another World" series.

Appearance
A middle-aged man who wears a wig that appears as lustrous blond hair, as fine as silk, that was neatly tied back at the base of his scalp. He wore a silk shirt was adorned with intricate designs and accompanied an exquisite pair of pants embroidered with gold thread.

Personality
Typical of a noble he had little consideration for the well-fair of the lesser class. Judging by his participation in trafficking elves it also appears he viewed humans to be superior to them. However he was willing to do anything to stay alive, even try to woe his slave to make him appear a benign master, in order to prevent reprisal from the elves. In the end the man was a weak coward that only cared about his own safety.

Background
Fulish is a noble who's domain was located among the mountains that ran from north to south across the Rhoden Kingdom. The town of Houvan has long been established near the route that connected the capital of Rhoden with the Grand Duchy of Limbult. Prior to the attack on Diento by Arc and Ariane, the count had purchased an elven slave from the town, leaving his name on a purchase contract found by Chiyome and given to Arc to assist their search.

Light Novel Volume 02
After hearing news of the assassination of Marquis Triton du Diento at the hand of elves, the count placed more stringent inspections to all entering his territory. This was because he feared that a similar fate would await him as he was implicit in the elf slave having, having purchased an elf slave. His restrictions on access in his territory began to cause delays in trade which many merchants began to protest. That coupled with the rising taxes to pay for the increased security caused the people to openly rebel against the noble and claim his head.
