Rizzen, later known as Rizzen Do'Urden,[1] was the patron of House Do'Urden until his death.[6]
Description[]
Rizzen was described as "handsome but otherwise unremarkable."[5]
Personality[]
Rizzen was very submissive to Matron Mother Malice Do'Urden and her cruel daughter Briza Do'Urden.[7] It was no wonder, as they often beat him and threw him into the dungeon on a whim.[8]
History[]
Rizzen was a commoner of House Do'Urden until he was made patron and allowed to carry the family name.[1] He became patron after the previous patron, Zaknafein Do'Urden, was stripped of his title.[9] As patron, he was granted a two-room suite inside the complex of House Do'Urden.[10]
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.[4]
Skills[]
Rizzen was trained as a fighter under Zaknafein, but he also had limited wizardly abilities.[9]
Relationships[]
Rizzen was the known father of Nalfein, Dinin, and Maya Do'Urden.[citation needed] He was the "husband" of Malice Do'Urden.[11]
