A jinkster named [[Piroro]] serves as [[Killvearn]]'s sidekick, often seen floating about the Grim Reaper or sitting on his shoulder. Piroro has more powerful magical abilities than jinksters are usually depicted with (including access to the [[Kacrack]] spell), though being a non-combatant he rarely displays them. He is shown to have two small horns under his hat when it is removed.
