Durnan is a pragmatic and wise individual, known for his no-nonsense attitude and deep knowledge of martial arts and weaponry. He is fiercely protective of his family and friends, and while he may come off as gruff, he has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to those he cares about.

Durnan, a gruff and burly man, is the self-appointed gatekeeper to Undermountain and the owner of the Yawning Portal Inn. Born in the remote North in 1283 DR, he began his adventuring career at a young age alongside Mirt the Merciless. After a successful expedition into Undermountain, he used his newfound wealth to establish the inn, which became a hub for adventurers seeking fortune in the depths below. Despite his elevation to a Masked Lord of Waterdeep, Durnan remains deeply connected to the streets, leading a group of vigilantes known as the Red Sashes. He is known for his tremendous physical strength, mastery of various weapons, and a strong dislike for hobgoblins, stemming from personal losses. Durnan is married to Mhaere Dryndilstann and has a daughter, Tamsil, whom he has trained in the basics of battle. He maintains a close relationship with the local clergy of Tymora, ensuring that healing services are available for those in need.
