T'orrud Cabal

The secret rulers of Darujhistan. A group of Mages

had 9 members, according to Vorcan before she began her killing spree, now only three left.

Members:

• Baruk, a High Alchemist
• Mammot, High Priest of D'riss and eminent scholar, uncle to Crokus (Jaghut-possessed and then killed in GotM)
• Derudan, a Witch of Tennes
• Tholis (Tholas?), a High Mage, assassinated by Vorcan
• Parald, a High Mage, assassinated by Vorcan
• Travale, a High Mage, assasinated by Vorcan 
• Vorcan, a High Mage  
• ??

"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)
