Brenoir Gwantir is the current clanhead and bailiff of the Valganara
Hundred. He is a hard and bitter man of 43 with a sense for merciless
power.
Brenoir was born in Shenadun and was a page when the village was attacked by
the Ceselryds in 687. The effects of the attack were traumatic for Brenoir and
have haunted him in his nightmares to the present day. He suffers from
insomnia, being unable to sleep without a lit candle beside his bed. His hatred
for Chybisa and Melderyn is considerable and he hungers for revenge on the
Ceselryds. When he met Uthred Ceselryd, while the latter was traveling through
the Valganara hundred, he and his brothers cornered and killed him in a vicious
brawl. While this incident has given him a taste of revenge, he is not nearly
satisfied. He feels bound to the blood oath he gave to his father and is
determined to fight out the feud with the Ceselryds to the bitter end. Brenoir
is very aware of his clan's weaknesses, especially the fact that the Gwantirs
hold no hereditary land or titles. He is also aware of the fact that he himself
is the most desirable target for the clan's enemies. Killing him would threaten
the clan's powerbase as the succession to the post of the bailiff of the
hundred has always been problematic in the past. Brenoir keeps two loyal
clansmen (MF) as bodyguards and always wears his armor when travelling outside
of Valganara hundred.
