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.
