Durn
MinorA large, imposing man with a broad-shouldered and powerful build paired with an ugly, coarse-featured face that earns him his reputation. He keeps his fair skin clean and well-maintained, often smelling of soap and fine wine, while his full head of hair is normally kept in order before being pulled into sickly patches for deception. He moves with natural confidence and authority when not affecting a limp, presenting as a memorable figure of the urban underworld who commands respect despite his unattractive visage.
Durn first appears in The Hero of Ages as a memorable figure of the urban underworld, a physically imposing man whose reputation is built on both his commanding presence and his willingness to adopt deceptive personas. His careful grooming habits and natural authority contrast with his coarse features, allowing him to navigate the criminal landscape of post-Catacendre Luthadel with calculated precision. Throughout his brief but significant presence, Durn represents the shifting power dynamics of the underworld during the apocalyptic events of the Final Empire's collapse.
