Name: Howl
Age: 39
Race: Hylian, but basically a Rito wannabe
Location: Hyrule Slums
Howl is kind of a crazy old man. His house has two floors and the bottom one is pretty much completely empty, just wooden crates and hey. The second one is just rafters and a kind of nest where he sleeps. He wears feathers on his arms. He is obsessed with birds, and feathers are lying around all over the place. Sometimes when you walk into his house, he drops down from the second floor in a flurry of feathers shouting "ca-caw!" We aren't really sure what his deal is or how he got this way, but he is very knowledgeable about avian species. He'll give Link tips on flying enemies like what their weaknesses are and stuff, always encouraging Link to "Follow the path of the Winged Warrior!"
Unexpectedly, his profession is advice columnist. People write to him and he replies with uplifting advice, always encouraging people to believe in themselves and climb to their fullest. Of course, his replies are riddled with bird metaphors and examples such as, "You must be like the blue heron. Know your inner beauty, but depend on hard work for your fulfillment."
When Link has the Roc's cape, he will get excited and teach Link how to do the down thrust.
