Tote Col

Tote Col appears for the first time on Volume 6 (that'd be right after season two of the anime) and joins Holo and Lawrence as they sail south on the Roam River towards Gerube.

He is a young lad that has fallen prey to a con artist and as a last resort, appeals to Lawrence when some papers he bought put him in a tricky situation with one of the toll guards along the river.

He becomes a steady member of the cast at this point and follows the happy (most of the time) couple all the way until the end of the story.

His aim is to study the Church's religion so he can help his hometown (which is faithful to a pagan god). He is smart and both Lawrence and Holo praise him for his wit. He is also very kind and serves as a liaison between the sheep and the wolf on many occasions after they've had a falling out for this or that.

The idea of him growing up to be a better suitor for Holo than Lawrence is toyed with, but in the end, Holo sees him more as a cub to take care of rather than a possible mate.
