"First cousin to the Old Queen and next in line (he hopes) for the Royal Deck Chair. He's overfed, overweight, overdressed and oversexed. He flatters himself that he is a cross between Errol Flynn and Victoria Principal, hence the pencil moustache plus thighboots over his fishnets." -character description from Revenge of the Old Queen
Biography[]
Revenge of the Old Queen[]
Sometime before the events of Revenge of the Old Queen, he alegedly had relations with Magenta, leading to Riff Raff killing her out of jealousy. De Lordy is aware of this, and taunts him throughout the script.
After The Old Queen, De Lordy's first cousin, commands Riff Raff to travel to Earth and bring her son Frank-N-Furter back to her before she dies ("I'm a Mother"), De Lordy is instructed to make sure he gets to the transducer and travels to Earth. De Lordy is implied to somehow know that Riff Raff had killed Frank 15 years prior, and boasts about how he is first in line to the throne.
When Judith Brankmire, who was taking a shower when she swapped places with Riff Raff through a transducer, ended up on Transexual, she and De Lordy immediately fall in love ("Love at First Sight"). The two go back to De Lordy's home together, where Judy is spoiled by De Lordy's servants. Their time alone together is interrupted by The Old Queen barging in to confront De Lordy about his crimes, which included "treason, insurrection, recalcitrance, subversion, and halitosis". They are arrested by a few of the Queen's guards, however they escape by exhaling bad breath on them. Judy and De Lordy escape to Judy's home in Fresno through the transducer.
Shortly after, they use the transducer to Washington, DC, where they meet Ray Ammbo, Sonny Ammbo, and Mary Lou, and join in on their party. When Agent Steve Majors arrives back in Washington, DC, De Lordy is introduced as a very good friend of Ray's.
De Lordy, Judy, Steve, Ray, and Sonny travel to Denton through the transducer, where they briefly meet a disheveled Janet Weiss before traveling 15 years into the past. ("No Hiding Place") Outside Frank's castle, they meet Riff Raff, The Old Queen, hoards of Transylvanians, Mary Lou (who followed the Transylvanians), and Janet (who followed De Lordy's group).
Ray tries to make peace with the Queen, and unintentionally puts De Lordy in trouble by introducing him to the Queen as "your royal cousin". The Queen orders the Transylvanians to fire at De Lordy. He tried to run behind Riff Raff, claming they are on the same team, leading Riff to shoot and kill him.
