Murduc is a minor character from Dance of the Dead (Novel). In the book, he is a poisoner, poisonmaker, and herbalist and associate of Lond. Murdoc was so hated within the neighborhood of Port d'Elhour that he would have died years ago had he not received the protection of Lond. Murduc's tiny shack was located within the worst part of the Past-the-Port slums, across from the Cat and Mouse Tavern.[1]
Biography
Senile, old, and filthy, Murdoc was nonetheless called upon by Lond to provide poisons, spell components, and herbal concoctions. Murdoc was not entirely reliable in his service of Lond, as Murdoc on at least one occasion caused the death of a former lover of Lond by giving him a lethal poison instead of the aphrodisiac that Lond had called for.[2]
Eventually, Murdoc's usefulness to Lond made his protection ran its course. Shortly before trying to leave Souragne via La Demoiselle du Musarde, Lond purchased a large number of supplies from Murdoc in return for a quite generous payment. However, shortly after exiting Murdoc's hut, Lond spoke with a group of murderers and told them the payment was theirs if they killed Murdoc. As he walked off, Murdock's hovel was set ablaze.[3]
