Dorse and mother Deelan.
Dorse was the milkbrother of Lord Jaxom at Ruatha Hold during the Ninth Pass.
Biography[]
Dorse was born at Ruatha Hold to Deelan, two days before the premature birth of Jaxom. Deelan became Jaxom's wet nurse and Jaxom was taught to share everything with Dorse. Growing up, Dorse became jealous of the attention his mother gave to Jaxom. As a result, he bullied Jaxom relentlessly, while making certain to get the best of whatever Jaxom got.
Dorse's rocky relationship with Jaxom continued into adulthood. Eventually, Dorse left for Southern Hold after being offered land from Toric. Dorse began working for Toric in various underhanded activities and eventually became associated with the Abominators. After taking part in a failed attempt to destroy the Printercrafthall, Dorse refused to identify himself. Since Jaxom was one of the presiding judges at the trial, he did recognize Dorse. However, in response to a question by Pinch, Jaxom said, "No hold, no hall. Even if he was my milk-brother, what else could I do?" Dorse was exiled to an abandoned island in the sea for his crimes, while still remaining unidentified to most of the public.
Dorse appeared at a later date at Southern Hold and began working for Toric and other Abominators again.
