Hollin Havilliard

He beat a servant bloody over burnt porridge, and he was still a child when he did it. His own brother would rather bow to a tyrant father than ever see Hollin crowned.

Hollin Havilliard is the spoiled much-younger brother of Prince Dorian, from the Throne of Glass series — a cruel, tantrum-prone boy shipped off to a mountain school after one beating too many, and the quiet reason Dorian bends to their father: to keep the crown off a rotten little head.

What he loves

What the court taught him to want.

He's a child of the Adarlanian court, and it shows plainly in what he reaches for.

Sweets and excess
Whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. Nobody taught him the word no.
His mother's favour
Georgina's attention is the thing he's really reaching for.
Being the centre
A room turned all the way toward him.
Getting his way
The court rewarded it long before he understood the cost.

His heart

His mother's regard

Underneath the tantrums is a boy who wants his mother to look at him. Georgina's court prized appetite and display and indulgence, and Hollin learned every lesson it taught — early, and completely. What he loves, he loves the way that court raised him to. He didn't pick the court he was born in.
