The '''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 Siz 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.
