**Tellico Lunngrevink Letorte**, alias *Penstock*, but to his friends, **Dudu**, was a doppler and friend of the Witcher Geralt of Rivia.

## Biography

He originally lived on a plateau somewhere around Novigrad, and actually morphed into a wolf to survive for sometime, before taking on a humanoid form and started to live in Novigrad. He eventually was discovered by **Geralt of Rivia** while impersonating the Halfling merchant Dainty Bibervelt, during his time as **Dainty**, he made several unorthodox business decisions that equated to large profits, a result that amazed the real **Dainty** who showed up to regain what he had lost, eventually **Dainty** adopted the Doppler as his cousin **Dudu Biebervelt** and had him take over businesses.

### Meeting Geralt again

By 1272 however, **Dudu** had fallen on bad luck due to being a honest businessman and impersonating a non-human had been basically price gouged and taxed until he couldn't continue. He was sought out by **Geralt** to participate in the rescue of Dandelion from the Temple Isle dungeons. Ultimately this series of events lead to **Dudu** impersonating one of the Big Four of Novigrad but going legitimate with overseas trading companies. But unlike long-lived dopplers, humans can only be fooled for so long so a few decades after assuming Whoreson Junior's identity, he had to come up with a new one so took the face of a unknown traveler dubbing himself '**Tellico Lunngrevink Letorte'** taking over **Whoreson Junior's** empire and passing it down to himself over the human generations, by the 14th century Dudu has found a doppler wife and now has two children.

### Tellico does business with the School of the Fox (1306)

Dudu (disguised as a human merchant) by the name of **Tellico** was being visited by his wife, son and daughter at work at his trading company going was approached by a trio of Witchers, the foremost Witcher introduced himself as Adalwulf of Aedirn, Grandmaster of the School of the Fox, a Witcher school in Vicovaro to the South, he introduced his companions as Master Witcher Ukok and Master Witcher Visul, saying the three of them had a business proposition for him, and asked if they could talk privately in his office. Dudu bid his family goodbye and invited the three witchers into his office, strangely at **Adalwulf'**s request they left their swords by the front door, which relieved Dudu but made him all the more cautious of the Witchers. **Adalwulf** went on to talk about w*anting to improve things, make actual changes to the world for both witchers and monsters.* Dudu shuddered at the word 'monster' but **Adalwulf** put him at ease by mentioning that he like his younger foster brother Geralt of Rivia were not in the habit of attacking innocent creatures especially sentient ones like Dopplers. **Adalwulf** went on to say *he'd like to give the balance that witchers provide between humans and monsters a little help.* This piqued Dudu's curiosity. **Adalwulf** proposed the question *would a Witcher kill innocent monsters to keep himself from starving if we took starvation out of the equation, if the Schools were properly funded witchers wouldn't have to hunt harmless Mamunes for pennies, kill Succubi for the sake of a scorned housewife's meagre purse, or Dopplers to serve as scapegoats for the bad in the world that religion painted of them.* *No*, **Adalwulf** stated, *a properly funded Witcher could ignore contracts that would hurt innocent and sapient creatures, and focus on the truly monstrous: the Frighteners, the Idrs and the Krallachs of the world, creatures without conscience. A properly funded Witcher could say no, to the whims of the foolish peasantry who hated what was different, to the nobles who sought to use Witchers as cheap tools to be exploited and thrown away, from Kingdoms that would seek to use them for wars over petty human squabbles.* Dudu inquired if **Adalwulf** wanted him to just give him money, to which the Witcher laughed. After he finished laughing, he stated *he wanted to do business with Dudu.* Who responded that he *only engages in honest business practices*, **Adalwulf** nodded, saying that's *exactly what he wanted as well as he wanted to become an investor for **Tellico**, who would take the profits and pay out a percentage to his school and reinvest the rest back into his businesses allowing his financial empire to grow.* The Doppler and the Witcher agreed upon a fair rate and made promises for future investments. Before **Adalwulf** left **Tellico** asked him if he thought the day when humans and monsters could ever truly get along would come, **Adalwulf** looked out at **Tellico's family** and smiled, *"One day, for sure. With this we are one step closer, my friend. I foresee a proper balance will be struck, and we, witchers will be there to maintain it for the right reasons this time."*

Due to his condition, he loathes and fears organizations like the Church of the Eternal Fire, if possible he has little to do with them.

## Abilities

### Magic

**Shapeshifting**: **Dopplers** can change into any being who they know and who does not differ from their size. They can copy so precisely that apart from appearance they acquire physical features (like voice), skills, mindset, and characteristic behaviors. To do all this they don't need any previous insightful observation, they do it instinctively. They also can change fragments of their bodies into clothes or equipment, like a sword or lute.

### Intellectual & Learned Skill/Abilities

**Business skills**: Dudu has an amazing head for business as shown by his time first in Novigrad where he made a small fortune off of a couple of horse, taking advantage of a change in dynasty in a new land and the Church of the Eternal Fires need for fire.

## Weaknesses

* **Relict Oil**: Dopplers take more damage from a weapon covered in Relict Oil.
* **Silver**: Like all Dopplers, silver interferes with a Dopplers ability to shapeshift itself, thus they have a natural aversion to it, just touching a piece of silver can undo a transformation.
