Telley

Telley was a very old man from Dett's village, who was known for seeing disaster everywhere and omens in every least little thing. He apparently had been dead for some time before the Day of Darkness came. After Dett had his first of many dream-like encounters with Klevey, Dett wished that he were a foolish hypochondriac like Telley, so that his premonitions could be dismissed so easily.
