Character from The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss
The Eolian's broad-shouldered bouncer — warm-hearted, perceptive, and one of the few people who knows Denna well enough to tell Kvothe the truths he does not want to hear.
Deoch guards the door of the Eolian with the professional warmth of a man who loves music and the people who make it. He speaks with honest directness, offering Kvothe advice about Denna that is painful precisely because it is accurate. He knows the Eolian's regulars, their talents, and their troubles, and he extends a genuine protectiveness toward the musicians and patrons who make the place what it is. His relationship with Stanchion is an open, settled thing, and his perspective on love and attachment provides a grounded counterpoint to Kvothe's romantic agonies.
Large and solidly built, with the easygoing presence of a man who rarely needs to use his strength because his demeanor defuses most trouble before it starts. His face is open and friendly, with the weathered look of someone who has spent years working late nights in a music hall.
