Delluth Telutci CorrinoIndex | Time Under Chaos | Player Characters | Delluth  Delluth, his young daughter Jerusha, and a few others were offered places with their relatives in the still-rising (but not yet Imperial) House Corrino after the destruction of the minor House Telutci? in one of the Courts' many wars. Despite his history of questionable behavior (as illustrated by Jerusha's unsanctioned existence), he settled down to the studies he had been neglecting up to that time. Soon he was apprenticed to Skelton Corrino, the House's Master of Poisons, eventually becoming an expert in that field as well as in medicine. He is also an accomplished Shapeshifter and Logrus Master. For one denizen of Chaos's view of Delluth's history and character, see Anga Corrino's account. While Jerusha was growing up, he stayed close to home, but in time he began taking periodic trips into Shadow, exploring and learning. He also developed a lively interest in Amber, cultivating acquaintanceships with any Amberites who happened into the Courts. This made him an obvious choice for Mandor to recruit as faculty for the new Hendrake University; he accepted an appointment as Professor of Poisons with alacrity. His daughter, militantly uninterested in Amber, stayed behind in Corrino's Ways. Though he could take advantage of housing at the University's grounds in Clifftop, Delluth lives in a rented flat in the Artists' Quarter in Blind Chapman, walking the considerable distance to his job on most days. (If asked about this, he simply says that he finds the Quarter refreshingly chaotic.) That is when he is in residence at all; in fact, he spends approximately every third year or so on sabbatical, exploring the Golden Circle and beyond and coming back with samples of drugs and poisons, and stories that he shares with his friends. When in Amber, he mostly spends his days in teaching and research. His position as a University Professor and mid-ranked (though untitled) Corrino nobleman means that he is usually invited to the more inclusive functions at the Castle, the Chaosian Embassy, and the homes of various of the nobility. Sometimes he even attends. Drinking and talking with some of the less stuffy University professors has also been known to occur. On rare occasions he has even been observed carousing with Merlin and his friends. He is, however, more likely to be found attending plays, concerts, and exhibitions in the Quarter, or drinking with his artist, musician, and actor friends, or walking his dog, Zhenechka. Trump Description:He stands in a doorway, shelves of books visible behind him, posed for just long enough for the artist to sketch him, it seems. He is dressed simply for traveling, in gray and brown, the only color about him the enameled clasp holding the cloak that is tossed back over his shoulders – a diamond of four golden stars linked by lines of purple, against a black background. In his left hand he grips a tall black walking-stick, which seems to be capped with steel. His expression seems open, even friendly, beneath a high forehead and short brown hair in need of trimming. Then the eyes come into focus: brown, and penetrating, and faintly quizzical, they hint at a long past and a longer future, from which he can only be distracted for a little while. - Trump by Claudio Barimen Miscellaneous Important Details:
