Durwin Bitterleaf is a member of the Bitterleaf family.

The Bitterleaf Family
The Bitterleafs are an old Gristian family with roots going back to before the Empire came into being, though they count amongst the lower ranking nobles in Gristol. They maintain a manor in Dunwall's Mutcherhaven District where much of the city's "old money" still linger, though the house has seen better days.

They are most notable for the businesses that bear their name, namely the Bitterleaf Almshouse and the Bitterleaf Crematorium and Fluid Works. They also run a funeral parlour and offer burial services, something that has earnt them a somewhat creepy reputation. Regardless they have become Dunwall's custodians of it's recently deceased, even taking on the task of collecting the dead of the poor for burial in mass pauper's graves.

Durwin
Durwin himself is in charge of the Bitterleaf's funeral services and oversees the collection of the city's dead, rich or poor. He is also the man the City Watch calls upon to deal with any bodies they discover after the Watch's duties are dealt with, something Durwin accepts in return for some coin from the city's coffers.
