Rizzen Do'Urden

Rizzen, later known as Rizzen Do'Urden, was the patron of House Do'Urden until his death.

Description
Rizzen was described as "handsome but otherwise unremarkable."

Personality
Rizzen was very submissive to Matron Mother Malice Do'Urden and her cruel daughter Briza Do'Urden. It was no wonder, as they often beat him and threw him into the dungeon on a whim.

History
Rizzen was a commoner of House Do'Urden until he was made patron and allowed to carry the family name. He became patron after the previous patron, Zaknafein Do'Urden, was stripped of his title. As patron, he was granted a two-room suite inside the complex of House Do'Urden.

In about 1339 DR, Malice tricked Rizzen into engaging the spirit-wraith (Zin-carla) Zaknafein in a fight, in which Rizzen was promptly killed. Malice claimed that it was no great loss as she had already chosen her next patron from amongst the soldiers of House Do'Urden.

Skills
Rizzen was trained as a fighter under Zaknafein, but he also had limited wizardly abilities.

Relationships
Rizzen was the known father of Nalfein, Dinin, and Maya Do'Urden. He was the "husband" of Malice Do'Urden.
