Father Tully was a priest of Astalon the Builder and one of Duke Borric's oldest aides of Crydee. He had been adviser to his father. Once, he had visited the Ishapian library at their temple in Krondor. Tully seemingly always appeared old and by the time of the Riftwar he appeared ancient, although his eyes were described as clear grey and pointed, with no sign of senility, matching his youthful with and tongue. His tongue was harsh when scolding boys, worse than Horsemaster Algon's leather strap.
