O'Ways/Cynon

Avalon, Beluaterra

Druid Assassin of the Order of the Druids

Cynon is Cullen's natural brother, very much like him but also very much unlike him. He is not a noble of the family, but has emigrated to Beluaterra to live the adventurers' life in order to protect his brother from any accusations concerning his descent or birthright. He tries to be an asset to his new home and he is an avid hunter of undead and monsters, especially in the County of Sheja, where he also takes care of a Druid Grove. He is also an expert on gems and stones. If he and his dog Amaroque are not out hunting or on merchant business he is usually found at the 'Dark Dog', one of the more 'colourfull' inns the County has to offer.

During the monster invasion of Sheja, Cynon was imprisoned by the monster leader named Drool while guarding the Druid Circle. His friend Sandryana, also imprisoned was executed, so Cynon escaped to report of the monsters' acts. Siobhan pleaded with him to stay in Cteduul, but instead he headed for Sheja and his Druid Circle, only to be captured again. It is rumoured he severely insulted the monsters' Judge before being executed and that he sang the Alatolian County anthem before he died. His head was placed on a stake on the battlefield when the Avalonian troops attacked the monster army there, which inspired Chancellor Scarlett to load a catapult with monster-limbs and firing it at them, yelling "Drool, two can play at that game!"

It never became clear why Cynon chose to go back to Sheja. Was it his sense of duty to the Order of the Druids, his love for the County, or of the Countess Elzebeth herself? We will never know.

He died with honour and was adopted into the O'Ways family posthume.
