Emil Horne is a Jinxian computer programmer met by Beowulf Shaeffer in 2648[1] while on a flight from Down to Gummidgy.[2]

He is described as short, wide and bull-strong like a typical Jinxian. Beowulf thinks Emil has a knack to ask the right questions when everyone else is thinking the wrong ones.[2]

Emil is the one that spearheads the attempt to locate and rescue famous Kdatlyno sculptor Lloobee who is taken captive after an attack on the starship Argos. The attempt succeeds although Emil gets himself captured along with Lloobee before Beowulf sorts the problem.[2]

He is married and is known to possess dueling guns converted from police stunners, which are only legal on Jinx.[2]
