Historian Duffy is found with the Varrock Museum expedition on Mount Quidamortem, along with the Natural Historian, Gnosi, and the Mountain Guide.

During Tale of the Righteous, he accompanies Gnosi and the Natural Historian into the cave west of the Mountain. He will come to the conclusion that the cave predates Xeric himself, and wonders if it was King Shayzien VII who created the lizardmen. He will add that some believe the two are one and the same.

After the quest, he remains in the cave to further study the temple.
