Dono is a Bormodo farmer and rancher in Razora on Ruidus; his cytaa is Kaniey. As an NPC, Dono is played by Matthew Mercer.

Description[]

Dono was described as hulking-looking and round-backed, with arms like tree trunks, an elephantine nose with thin nostrils,[1] and thick brows.[2]

Dono seemed to struggle with decision-making, and was upset and anxious because his symbiote cytaa Kaniey was too young to offer advice.[3] However, even through his fear and anxiety on encountering Bells Hells unexpectedly, he was also curious.[4] He described himself as "simple farm folk".[5]

Biography[]

Background[]

Dono had recently lost his symbiote cytaa, and was raising a new one named Kaniey, who was still very young and unable to speak as yet.[6]

"Red Rural Revelations" (3x84)[]

Bells Hells encountered Dono when they entered the village of Razora and took shelter in his shed while changing out of mist form. Dono was at first frightened and very suspicious, fearing that this was some kind of loyalty test by the Imperium, but eventually was persuaded to trust the group, even allowing them to see and interact with Kaniey.

He recommended the adventurers speak to someone in the capital city Kreviris about more complicated questions they had, and took them to Elder Barthie in the village, staying with them for the conversation, still very interested, although eventually they sent him away to check if the expected caravan had arrived. He ended up fleeing,[7] spooked by the battle that started soon after, when Willmaster Edmuda arrived at the house with her men.

Relationships[]

Kaniey[]
