Dimeon Tsur’in

Dimeon Tsur’in is the treasurer of Khazreth, the kingdom of the orcs, and the most slippery character in Natali and Baudouin so far. He counts gold, buys silence and takes credit for everything. In a single episode, Part 10, he turns a scout’s report into a personal triumph and a young prince into an enemy.

Appearance

Dimeon is short and hunched, with sallow, swampy skin, a crooked smirk and eyes that never stay still. Gold rings glitter on every finger, and he wears a greasy red robe. He looks most at home in his treasury, bent over piles of coins and a heavy ledger, and least at home anywhere a lie might be checked.

Personality

Dimeon lies as easily as he breathes. He is greedy, ambitious and quick to see an opportunity, and he understands exactly what each person in the room wants to hear. To the scout he offers a coin; to the chieftain he offers hope; to the one person who doubts him he offers a whispered threat. His smile never quite reaches his eyes, and when he is caught out, it freezes.

Story so far

In Part 10 a soaked orc scout runs into the treasury with news: he has seen an elf princess with blue light in her hands. Dimeon presses a single coin into the scout’s palm with the words “You saw nothing,” and slams his ledger shut. In Morn’s throne room he bows low and announces that his own spies have found a princess who heals with light. Morn orders him to bring her. When Karrek points out that Dimeon has never left the treasury, the treasurer steps close and whispers a warning into the young prince’s ear.

Relationships

• Morn is his chieftain, who believes his story.
• Karrek is the young prince who saw through him.
• Natali is the princess he has never seen, but whose discovery he has already claimed as his own.
