Character from From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Ascended nobleman ruling Masadonia — a predator in silk who feeds on the Chosen and inflicts cruelty on the Maiden behind closed doors.
The Duke embodies everything rotten beneath Solis's gilded surface. Charming in public, monstrous in private, he uses his authority over the Maiden to punish and feed. His 'Rite of Blessing' is a feeding ritual disguised as holy ceremony. He represents the systemic horror of the Ascended — the way they've built an entire theology around their parasitism and convinced their victims it is divine favor.
Aristocratically handsome with the unnatural paleness of the Ascended. Dark hair, cold eyes. Impeccably dressed, always smiling.
Also known as: Duke Teerman, Dorian Teerman, The Duke
