Hordor

"Kiss my boot."

- The Duke to Rumplestiltskin

Hordor is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He debuts, and only appearance, in the eighth episode of the first season. He is played by guest star Ty Olsson and does not have a Storybrooke counterpart.

Before the Curse
Hordor is first seen in the Enchanted Forest, taking a fourteen-year-old girl, Morraine, from her parents in the poor village that Rumplestiltskin and his son, Baelfire, live in. He is next seen when Rumplestiltskin and Baelfire attempt to escape the Duke's cruel law of children going to war when they reach the age of fourteen.

When Rumplestiltskin attempts to flee the kingdom to protect Baelfire, Hordor and his knights discover Rumplestiltskin and proceed to question and ridicule him for being a coward. He threatens to take Baelfire away from Rumplestiltskin, causing the latter to plead with Hordor to spare his son. Hordor agrees on one condition: Rumplestiltskin must kiss his boot.

Rumplestiltskin obeys Hordor's commands and Hordor kicks him in the stomach, laughing about the man's cowardice and weakness. After they ride away, an old beggar comes to the pair's aide. While taking shelter in the beggar's house, Rumplestiltskin learns about the Duke's magical dagger that controls the Dark One.

Rumplestiltskin steals the Duke's dagger, and Hordor is next seen in the poor village when he and his knights are dragging Baelfire out of his house. Confronted by Rumplestiltskin before they can take Baelfire away, Hordor recognizes him as the Dark One, but fails to realize that he was the man he belittled in the forest two days ago.

Hordor, now terrified at Rumplestiltskin's evil power, begs for forgiveness and says that he would do anything to please him. In response, Rumplestiltskin stretches out his foot and commands Hordor to kiss his boot.

Hordor proceeds to do so, but before he can actually kiss his boot, Rumplestiltskin reaches forward and snaps his neck. His companions are all slaughtered very quickly afterwards.

Trivia

 * In medieval times, kings and dukes would often have their subjects swear fealty by kissing their feet. Therefore, Hordor, in telling Rumplestiltskin to kiss his boot, is not only insulting him, but telling him to swear fealty to him.
