Dorbin Tsurin is a dispossessed former-ruler of a small region, who is known for associating with Mika the Wolf Nomad.
Description
"At first glance, Hettman Tsurin is an innocuous fellow. He is old and chubby, certainly not a threat to anyone. Closer examination reveals the skulls find fiends prominent in his jewelry. Once glance into his cold gray eyes reveals the mind of a brilliant madman. Hettman Tsurin's plots have brought down kings and caused the death of thousands."[1]"
Equipment
Bracers of Defense AC2, Ring of Human Influence, Medallion of ESP
Relationships
Tsurin is the father of Princess Linea. His wife died when Linea was an infant, from "lead poisoning from the metals in her make-up. So vain was she that even though her illness was diagnosed, she could not bear the thought of being seen bare-faced and soon succumbed. She made a lovely corpse."[2]
History
"The Hettman was the ruler of his lands until he lost his throne and fortune in a game of chance. His only daughter, Linea was left without resources. Mika, the Wolf Nomad, stumbled into Tsurin's lands and proved to be the only hope for restoration of the throne.[3]"
