Rok

An infected Carriage Bug driver who strives to deliver passengers from Hallownest to FrostFern under the will of The Queen of Thorns.

As an infected servant of the Queen of Thorns, Rok is essentially undead, and his body can be seen falling apart in places throughout the comic. He is repeatedly fixed by his 'mistress' the Queen, which is how he continues to function in his role.

Lore
Rok is the brother of a bug named Makk, with whom he had initially braved the caverns of Frostfern until Rok became infected during a solo expedition, and began his new life as a Carriage Bug driver under the Queen of Thorns.

Makk remains uninfected, and believes that Rok abandoned him intentionally, though he still holds out hope that Rok will return.

 * Rok bears a similarity to both Boon and Tuk Though they all seem to differ in coloration.
 * Rok has never ventured further than the fungal wastes, and has little need for Geo in his line of work.
