Doing what he does best.

The Hornblower is The King of Town's royal herald. When The King of Town feared for his sheep, it was this fair servant who summoned Homestar Runner and Pom Pom. He plays the buisine, a long, conical brass instrument used by heralds in the Middle Ages. In addition to his normal duties, he is a member of the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band and plays saxophone for All the King's Men!.

Like his liege, the Hornblower has white flesh and no clear demarcation where his hair starts. He has slender white limbs and is always seen wearing a short tunic, usually in tan, but was seen in a green one in The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show. He is hardly ever seen with his eyes open, and when his eyes are open, they appear to be circles the same color as his skin (similar to Marzipan's). The Hornblower is the only one of The King of Town's subjects that has yet to speak in a cartoon.

Starting with the movies, his eyes were given more definition, looking less like simple lines.
