Tutley

Tutley (AKA the hung cuck, the dangling dirge, and the roped rapscallion) was a master Bard who specializes his magic in the beauty and power of sound. He was also the master to Eragor and the former entertainer in the court of Redwood, specifically to Norman and Katherine Redwood. He quickly became a hollow shell of his former self after he betrayed the Redwood family, and played a direct part in the House Redwood Tragedy, as he let in the assassins that killed Eragor's parents, and played the songs that drowned out their screams. After encountering Eragor in the streets, guilt consumed the master bard and led him to taking Eragor on as a pupil. Consumed by the darkness of treachery and bereft of the beauty behind sound, Tutley taught Eragor the darker sides of bardic magic, focusing on the arts of deception and manipulation. Shortly after, he hung himself with a guitar string from the roof of his favorite brothel, while his throne of lutes sat in the background aflame. The famous bard song "That guy kinda sucked" is dedicated to him.
