Minor Characters (Betrayal at Krondor) D-F

D

Dabney

Dabney is an employee of the Dagger 'n Star Tavern in Kenting Rush. During its alcohol shortage, he was able to talk sense into a group of soldiers who threatened to burn the tavern if not provided with drink.

Daphne

Daphne is the barmaid at the Queen's Row Inn. Ivan Skaald calls on her to list the provisions available for purchase there.

Deirgun

Deirgun is a goblin who overheard, and informed Gulla of, the party's discussion about potentially bribing their way past the goblin force blocking the pass north of Northwarden.

Austin Delacroix

Austin Delacroix is a young man whose family's marginally noble rank derives from an ancestor who was a hero in a forgotten battle when Bas-Tyra was still a city-state. His residence in Lyton is a once-prosperous house now fallen on hard times, well-built of wood and stone but faded and dirty; its shuttered interior is stale and dark, smelling of old food, sweat, and spilled ale. A faded tapestry of princes exchanging gifts, the only item of note, hangs above simple wooden furniture; light comes from a simple lamp, and stairs lead to a sleeping loft. A tiny, dirty kitchen through a door beside the tapestry has a back door under the loft's window. Locklear guesses correctly that the party can find Delacroix's cousin Isaac, a sometime guest, in this residence, and confront him there, learning that Delacroix is currently away visiting other relatives in Bas-Tyra.[14]

Delcinad

Delcinad is a tall elf who runs a small business from a tree-house in the Green Heart. He boasts that Warleader Tomas has often purchased items from him.

Delong the Great

Delong the Great was the founder of the Kingdom of the Isles. In the third year of his reign, Malac slew the flamewyrm Rhandra and erected the Malac's Dragon statue to commemorate the deed. The Brak Nurr which appears in the Mac Mordain Cadal is the first to trouble the mine's upper levels since Delong laid claim to the Kingdom.

Delton

Delton left a note for the Crawler in a Chest near Silden reporting the acquisition of false Glazer's Guild Seals with which to enter Romney, and that he has paid a gold-grubbing farmer to conceal them in a barn near Lyton since the Silden area was too active to store them locally.

deSevigny

On orders from Guy du Bas-Tyra, Duke deSevigny sent a group of reliable Kingdom men to Romney to investigate the guild troubles there and the rumors of Nighthawk involvement.

Brother Dominic

Brother Dominic is the Keeper of the Gates at Sarth and the strongest magician among the priests stationed there. His current area of study, in which he is expected to be immersed for another two or three months, is Quegian civil codes, after which Brother Marc is sure he would be happy to discuss spellcasting with Owyn Beleforte. In Chapter 6, Dominic contracts Quegian Fever and, despite the efforts of the Abbey's herbalists, begins to hallucinate, activating Sarth's mystic defenses in terror at an imagined attack. To bypass the powerful wards, the party must enter the Vaults through the Mac Bourgalan Dok and inform the priests of the situation. The wards are later deactivated and Dominic is reported to be feeling much better.

In the novelization, Dominic, a middle-aged man with a quick step, dark hair showing gray, a light curiosity in his eyes, is Brother Prior to the abbey and in charge during the Abbot's absence. He remembers James as "quite a personality" from his visit to Sarth many years ago. Admitting Owyn and Gorath when they arrive with a message from Abbot Graves, he placates Brother Michael, an old warrior startled to see a moredhel enter the Abbey, and shows them to an office, where he offers them water and listens to their story. While he fears Graves's betrayal will earn severe punishment from the mother temple in Krondor, he hears out Gorath's criticism of the temple's choice to punish a flawed man after choosing to admit him to their ranks. He cannot help them in the matter of the Book of Macros, telling them that it could not be stored at Sarth without anyone knowing because any book being copied from Pug's library would be catalogued and easily found by the master librarian. He invites them to eat, rest, and board their horses for later retrieval at the abbey and sends another brother into town to inquire for a ship they can take to Ylith.[15]

E

Elghar

Elghar is one of four magicians whom Pug considered capable of penetrating the first line of defenses at Sethanon. Pug ultimately dismissed Elghar as a suspect because Elghar has been busy occupied with his students at Stardock.

In the novelization, Elgohar is a magician from the Tsurani Assembly of Magicians, and was likewise one of four whom Pug considered capable of finding the Lifestone's chamber below Sethanon and penetrating its defenses. He ultimately dismissed Elgohar as a suspect, remarking that Elgohar has served him well and is busy with students at Stardock.[16] Pug also mentions Elgohar's lectures at Stardock when encouraging Owyn to think of boring topics so that his mind relaxes enough to use its buried knowledge about rifts.[17] Makala, however, found it repugnant that some Tsurani magicians have chosen to spread their magical knowledge to the Empire's former enemies.[18]

Eron the Minstrel

Eron the Minstrel is a minstrel known to an eccentric engineer in Raglam. When the party visits the engineer, he asks if Eron sent them to play for him.

Ethan

Ethan is a human who lives in Tyr-Sog. He runs the village's shop, Three Hillmen Pawn, stocking the place with scavenged items that people have lost or dropped in the area. If the party visits his home, they learn that he is away on a scavenging trip and that his wife, tying an apron around her waist as she leaves the house, will be minding the store until he returns.

Euliliko

Euliliko, a Tsurani armorcrafter commissioned by Earl Kasumi, innovated an improvement on traditional Kingdom armor for Kasumi's LaMutian troops. Euliliko Armor is named after him.

F

Falan

Falan is a dark-skinned, wrinkled elf living in a small tree house. When the party visits, he muses that he has seen many returnings in his years, but none such as Gorath's. After describing the wyvern attacks on Elvandar from the north and the desperate attempts of the elves to defend against a moredhel invasion at their borders, he directs them due north to find Warleader Tomas, and wishes them luck.

Brother Faushane

Brother Faushane is an archer and a friend of Kalem, who wrote Kalem's Dialectic for him in the third year of King Lyam's reign.

Fedrayh

Fedrayh is the author of a fawning note held by Nago. Addressing the recipient as "Master," it reports the placing of false notes about an attack south of Tanneurs in certain chests in order to mislead the party into the recipient's "elegant trap."

Baronet Ferrone

The Baronet Ferrone was briefly engaged to Ugyne Corvalis, but her father, Count Geoffrey Corvalis, broke off the match due to his desire to aim for a higher rank in his daughter's suitors.

Feydhir

Feydhir is the religious leader of the kobolds dwelling deep in the Mac Mordain Cadal. Every now and then he leads his people to take on a holy quest to find the lost dragon Rhuargh. During one such quest, his kobolds awoke a Brak Nurr.

Old Finch

Old Finch is a nursemaid who lives in Malac's Cross. Ivan Skaald shares what he thinks is an unlikely rumor that marauding snake peoples stole the gambols right off her house.

Kyle Fischer

Kyle Fischer is a student from the Abbaye Ishap, described as a bright star by Abbot Graves and a "snot-nosed prat" by Ivan Skaald. If the party purchases but does not use the Lecture Ticket in Chapter 2, they can learn that Fischer stood to debate Guy du Bas-Tyra on his tactics at Deep Taunton, and the subsequent period of mortification was greater and longer than Graves had ever seen in him. They learn later from Ivan that Fischer challenged reigning champion Jamie Tiller to a much-advertised game of chess at the Queen's Row Inn; Tiller opened by moving his queen's pawn to fourth rank, and Fischer opened with Abbar's Gambit, a tactic Ivan condemned as arrogant. Tiller maneuvered into the gambit with his knight, sacrificing his King's rook, taking the priest, and successfully defending his title.

Father Francis

Father Francis is the new Lector at the Shrine of Astalon, having arrived from Rillanon to take the role after Father Timothy's passing. He wears a blue robe and the party at first mistakes him for an ordinary priest. Asked for Astalon's guidance, he admits that since the party's problems are self-imposed or beyond his scope, he cannot see where to begin to provide help and advises them to turn to the Prince or the royal advisers.

Fumita

Fumita is a Tsurani associated with House Shinzawai on Kelewan. When Pug was enslaved on the Shinzawai estate and showed magical talent, Fumita brought him to the Assembly of Magicians, culminating in Pug's acceptance into the Assembly as a Great One.[19]
