'the T’orrud Cabal –
Darujhistan’s secret rulers ' - GotM, Glossary
"'No games,
Baruk.'
Rake's voice was suddenly cold. 'I'm not fooled by that Council of idiots bickering in Majesty Hall. I know it's you and your fellow mages who rule
Darujhistan.'" - GotM, UK Trade, p.323
had 9 members, according to Vorcan before she began her killing spree, now only three left.

"Darujhistan's council -- mages, one and all, yes? Undying, secretive, paranoid mages? Crouching low, lest the Tyrant returns, as one day he must? Returns, looking for his army! Ha, a council!"
"That's not the council, sir," Cutter said. "IF you are speaking of mages, that would be the T'orrud Cabal--"
"T'orrud! Yes, Clever. Outrageous! Barukanal, Derudanith, Travalegrah, Mammoltenan? These names strike your soul, yes? I see it." - Soldier of High House Death, BH pb, p192
Baruk : You killed the others, woman. All but myself and Derudan. Yes, only the three of us left. Only three.
To stop, if we can, the return of the Tyrant.
Oh Vorcan, you toppled far too many stones that night. (TtH)
There were but three of them left, now. Not enough to stop the Tyrant's return. Even with Rake's help … not enough.
Which means one of us will choose to betray the others. Currying favour for when He returns. Favour, well. Bargaining to stay alive would be more accurate.
One of us will betray the others.
Maybe Derudan. Maybe this one here.
Gods, maybe me. (TtH)

Ditch was a mage in Pale, I don't believe he was ever a member of the Darujistan Cabal.
