Durgy was a black-colored male rat Sea Raider serving aboard the Bludgullet under Vizka Longtooth. He, along with fellow rat, Feerog and the ferret, Grivel, planned a mutiny against Captain Vizka. Their first action was to remove Snikey, the weasel, who was a well-known spy to Vizka. It was Durgy himself who carried out the murder, stabbing him discreetly and throwing the body into the ocean while commenting that Snikey had "gone to get more skilly". It is later revealed that Glurma, the rat cook, saw the entire incident and reported it to Vizka.
