Doty is the mechanical servant, scribe, and best friend of Taryon Darrington.

Description

Appearance

Doty is humanoid in shape, about eight-and-half feet tall and lanky. He looks like he has been frequently repaired, with many scratch and scuff marks that are most likely the result of acting out fantasy battles with Taryon.[3]

In an attempt to create a disguise for Doty, Taryon glued Shayne Tranter's hair to him to create a wig and goatee. A mask was then added so Doty ended up with a "secret goatee" under the mask.[4] The hair was later removed, although traces of the goatee are still there.

Taryon is Doty's creator and master. Doty faithfully transcribes all of Taryon's words and actions into the book he carries with him. The human built him when he was 27 years old and considers the construct to be his best friend. The two of them often act out battles from the stories that Taryon has read.[5]

Trivia

  • Because Doty is capable of writing, he is technically smarter than Grog Strongjaw.[6]
  • Sam said that when he pitched the idea for Taryon he told Matt that he wanted to have a follower that would be his biographer. The Artificer class (which Matt had recommended) has a mechanical companion, typically in the form of an animal. They altered the stats a little (took some points from strength to add to intelligence) so that he could write.[7]
