Description[]
Pok was a goblin with a big, long face. He had sleek hair that was combed down and a pencil mustache. He is usually depicted as wearing a full tux. According to Kalina, his son, Riz, is the spitting image/perfect combination of both him and Sklonda. Kalina tells Riz that his dad was the suave and charismatic type.
He carried an arquebus with a silencer, which Riz now uses.
Background[]
Pok's family lived in the Mountains of Chaos until his father immigrated to Solace, where he was born. His father was always working as a beat cop and was never close with Pok, in a similar way that Pok was always away from his wife and son while he was on missions. Pok says he didn't get along with his dad, who didn't have many kind words for him. As an adult, Pok got to understand his father more, realizing that though his dad had a hard time verbally expressing love, he did show his love to Pok and his siblings in his actions.
In high school Pok was a dork, with awkward hair and huge braces. He told Riz that Gukgaks bloom if and when they bloom, for him it was Junior year of college, after which he was quite popular. He was always faithful to the love of his life, Sklonda. But before he met her, he had dated around a lot. According to Pok, he wasn't as careful as he should've been with sex, saying it was another time.
Pok worked as a foreign agent for the Solisian government. He used his identity as a goblin to infiltrate enemy lines and spy on them from the inside. He was totally badass. Pok seems to have gotten Kalina's plague from a first aid kit in Fallinel. In one of his first missions, after a firefight with some Elven spies, he broke into an old room that had Landron Lir's medical supplies in it. He meet Kalina after that.
He met Sklonda, a cop in Bastion City, when he was 27 years old, and they were married. After Sklonda was offered a position as a detective in Elmville, they moved into Strongtower Luxury Apartments, where Riz was born.
He occasionally worked with Kalina, also known as the Shadow Cat, on missions that required Fallinel and Solace to work together. Their work together included research into the boundary around Sylvaire.
On August 31st approximately five years ago, he recorded a crystal message for his son, which Riz finds later, explaining that he's about to go on a dangerous mission. He encouraged Riz to never give up, even in the face of the racism he's bound to face as a goblin.
His last mission was that of the Harpy, Kalvaxus's flagship when he had control over Solace. Pok reached out to Kalina about this investigation sometime before he died. Kalvaxus's hoard, including the ship, was supposed to be destroyed at the foundation of Solace, but Pok discovered that the wrong ship had been destroyed. He found that illusory magic had been used to disguise the ship as another one, the Cerulean. Pok was down in the harbors in Bastion City and Kalvaxus showed up, as Vice Principal Goldenhoard.
Pok retained his Solisian citizenship when he was working for the foreign service but it was revoked. Someone put him on a list of enemies of the state and got his citizenship taken away, which is how Goldenhoard was able to kill him.
He was eaten by Kalvaxus once he learned of Pok's investigation. Kalina did not attend his funeral. Riz and Sklonda visit his grave every year on the anniversary of his death, and Riz often visits to talk about his adventures. In heaven, Pok likes to hang out at his grave, since he can hear his family talking from the other side of the gravestone.
After dying, Pok discovered what Heaven already knew, that Kalina was a servant of The Nightmare King, thought he didn't know about her being a plague.

Prompocalypse[]
Kalvaxus reveals to Riz he was the one to kill Pok while he was investigating the ship, the Harpy/the Cerulean. Kalvaxus was not allowed to attack Solace's citzens, but, as a spy, Pok wouldn't have citzenship. Kalvaxus says to Riz that devouring his father was the best thing that happened to him while under the spell.

Blast from the Passed[]
