'''Dutiful''' is the son of [[Kettricken]] and [[Verity]], although due to the sickly condition of his body at the time of conception, Verity used the [[Skill]] to swap bodies with [[Fitz]] in order that an heir be produced for the [[Farseer]] throne following the death of their first child, [[Sacrifice (infant)|Sacrifice]]. The slightly ambiguous nature of Dutiful's parantage is not an overly large issue towards the future of the Six Duchie's, however, as he is a Farseer whichever father is considered his 'true' one. None of this is ever revealed to Dutiful.
Dutiful lives in [[Regal|Regal's]] former [[Regal's grand chambers|grand chambers]] in [[Buckkeep]] and keeps them simple and ascetic like his mother. He has dark eyes and curling black hair like Verity, but his jawline and height are more like those of Fitz's father [[Chivalry_(King-In-Waiting)|Chivalry]].
It is revealed that Dutiful has the [[Wit]] as well as the [[Skill]], something that caused him to be kidnapped by the [[Piebalds]]. He was bonded to [[the Cat]] for a while, before she was killed by Fitz after trying to attack him. Fitz returned to Buckkeep with him and began to instruct him in both of their shared magics.
