Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke of Köln is one of the fictional characters created by
Michael Moorcock in his series of the
Eternal Champion books. Dorian Hawkmoon is one of the most decent and noble characters Moorcock ever created a series around. Unlike the
anti-hero Elric of Melniboné, or the alienated and tragic
Corum, or the sometimes savage
Erekosë, Hawkmoon can generally be counted on to do the right thing.Hawkmoon is captured by the evil forces of Granbretan (implied as an evil version of
Great Britain where the noble classes hide behind metal masks of various totem animals) who implant a sinister jewel in his skull; he is liberated by the friendly rulers of Kamarg (implied as a future version of the southern French region of
Camargue) charged with finding and implementing the will of the
Runestaff, a magical item which preserves the Equilibrium. During his adventures, he has to collect two more magical items, the Red Amulet held by a mad god and the Sword of the Dawn, winning many battles in which he is hopelessly outnumbered, but helped by loyal companions, by mysterious allies who arrive in the nick of time, and by dissension in the ranks of his foes.

Dorian Hawkmoon, duc de Köln est un personnage fictif créé par
Michael Moorcock. Il est une des incarnations du
champion éternel. Dernier héritier des seigneurs de Köln, il est capturé par les Granbretons qui souhaitent l'utiliser contre le comte Airain. Les Grandbretons sont clairement des serviteurs du chaos et l'un d'entre eux, le baron Méliadus, grand connétable de l'ordre du loup, jure sur le bâton runique de se venger d'Airain. C'est son geste qui fait de Dorian Hawkmoon le serviteur du bâton runique et donc de la Loi.
