Hobbamock was a Pokanoket warrior loyal to Massasoit. He became close to Miles Standish, but he distrusted Squanto's influence in Plymouth. Hobbamock would eventually reveal Squanto's treachery to the Pilgrims, saving them from war with Massasoit. The Pilgrims placed trust in Hobbamock and he helped them by working as a intermediary between them and other Indians.
