Chancellor Cole
Cole takes on the alias of the chancellor of Hyrule Castle. Looking at the design sketches, it seems that Cole was going to be a man of small stature who underwent a complete transformation ever since the beginning.
Double silk hats. His round silhouette curves inwards.
His true form: The goat horns are drawn to resemble thunder. His silhouette sticks sharply outward.
A variety of faces.

A small error I noticed: the index page and the next page, link in the opposite way.
Thanks for pointing that out; it has been fixed now.
