**Doolan Tversky** is the Archmage of Dysology for the Cerberus Assembly. As an NPC, Doolan Tversky is played by Matthew Mercer.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Doolan Tversky is an old gnomish woman. When she hired the Darrington Brigade, she was dressed in a finely-crafted blue-green travel outfit of leather and fine silks. She has an intense-looking face, though she has a smile that prevents her from appearing too stern.

### **Personality**

Doolan Tversky is an "absent-minded yet brilliant gnome who is obsessed with all beasts, aberrations, and creatures of legend." She resents the Cobalt Soul, as they have barred her from their libraries due to her reputation.

When she hired the Darrington Brigade to recover the meteor that had fallen in the Cyrengreen Forest, she did not care *how* they brought her the object/creature, as long as it was brought to her. She accepted Taryon's price of 10,000 gold without protest, but insisted on "10,000. No more." when Macaroni attempted to add "per hour" to the billing. She believed that adventurers had their purpose.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Chetney Pock O'Pea, who once did work for the Cerberus Assembly as part of the Rexxentrum Toy Authority, claimed that he used to make enchanted killer chairs, and Doolan was his best customer.

### **"The Adventures of the Darrington Brigade" (Sx49)**

Master Doolan Tversky hired the Darrington Brigade to investigate and retrieve a strange object that fell from the sky the previous night within the Cyrengreen Forest south of Deastok. She hoped that a team of adventurers could be the first to arrive on the scene, and thus be the first to claim the object/creature.

Upon returning from the Cyrengreen Forest, the Darrington Brigade met Doolan at the Rose-Nestled Inn in Deastok.

### **"Zemnian Nights" (2x11)**

When Nott heard the name "Dolan" from the Knights of Requital meeting, she asked Fjord to inquire about Dolan's last name. When asked why, Nott stated that she knew a guy named "Dolan Taverski". When Fjord asked if Nott was an old friend of "Dolan Taverski", Nott insisted that she just has something of "his" and that "Dolan Taverski" wouldn't know her. As it turned out, the possession is a lost handkerchief embroidered with Doolan's name, and Nott likely stole it from someone else who kept it as memorabilia.

## **Relationships**

### **Taryon Darrington**

Master Doolan Tversky hired the Darrington Brigade to investigate and retrieve a strange object that fell from the sky. She accepted Tary's price of 10,000 gold without any attempt to haggle, claiming that Tary drives "a hard bargain". She also had Tary sign her copy of The Daring Trials and Tribulations of Sir Taryon Darrington before the Brigade departed for the mission.
