Trooth the Dint

Trooth the Dint was one of the necromancers who formed The Tearful Three, along with Pwet Terse and Nog the Furbious. They signed a trifecta contract establishing equality among them and determined to create an "empire of horrifying tyranny".Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.11-13 The Tearful Three settled into a derelict fortress near Earbeford to begin founding their empire. Although the contract declared equality among them, Trooth thought it obvious he was superior to both and his throne was placed at the group's centre.
Swillstine served as his manservant, though Trooth was aggravated by Swillstine's lofty amusement at everything and several times a day had to bite back thoughts of dragging the manservant's organs out through his nose.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 3, p.14
Trooth wore black robes like the others.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 1, p.6

The Tearful Three first set their sights on conquering Earbeford, the wealthy town that sat below their keep. When the town leaders refused to recognise the Three as their lieges, the necromancers set about raising an army of undead to annihilate them. Trooth, himself, murdered the Earbeford seamstress, Ilma on the road outside town to add her corpse to their ranks.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 6, p.27 Before their army was ready, Pwet Terse was stricken with tetanus and no longer able to participate. Nog and Trooth left her stiffened body propped against her throne to keep her out of the way.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19, p.77
Eventually, Trooth began to reconsider his aims for the Earbeford. What value was claiming the town if it was an empty ruin with corpses piled in the square. The necromancer settled on murdering only the town's council and the self-elected officers of the Earbeford Defense League.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 19, p.78
By the time the Tearful Three's army was ready to attack, the Earbeford town council had hired the famed necromancers, Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, for their own defense. Trooth the Dint and Nog the Furbious were shaken to see Bauchelain march towards the keep as the undead army parted at the sight of his flaming longsword. A fearful Nog rolled Pwet Terse's petrified body down the hill to lay at Bauchelain's feet, hoping to sacrifice her in his place. But Bauchelain stepped over Pwet's body and continued his advance.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 25, p.88-89 Attempting to salvage the day, Trooth tried to parley with Bauchelain and make him a partner in their enterprise. But Bauchelain cut off the top part of Trooth's head just above the eyes with his longsword, before decapitating him with his return swing. Swillstine and Zwalt soon followed.Upon a Dark of Evil Overlords, Section 27, p.91-92
==Trivia==

American president Donald Trump.
