Dokhnor of Kellef was a strongbrow from the Kingdom of Morgaf. He toured Trench Park as part of Radnal vez Krobir's group. He dressed in the customary striped tunic and trousers of Morgaf and carried himself in an erect, soldierly manner.[1]

Dokhnor was also a skilled, amateur artist. The first morning in the Park, vez Krobir admired the charcoal sketch Dokhnor had done of the campsite. While polite, Dokhnor implied vez Krobir should stop spying on him.[2]

Dokhnor was sworn to the Morgaf Goddess. As such, he refrained from alcoholic beverages. In the Park lodge, he drank only water. This aroused vez Krobir's suspicions since the Morgaffo military aristocracy were the most common worshiper of the Goddess.[3] Despite his reserved demeanor, Dokhnor did attempt to help two Highhead women in the group, Evillia and Lofosa, learn how to use Tartesh eating sticks. Both were too tipsy, however.[4]

While Radnal vez Krobir was puzzled and even alarmed by Dokhnor, he had no evidence that the Morgraffo was a spy.[5] Later that night, Dokhnor was murdered when an unknown assailant snapped his neck.[6]
