Dwain

Dwain is a young Welshman of exceptionally large stature, formerly employed as a sergeant in the castle of Sir Guy. He had a falling-out with his liege around autumn or winter of 1191: Dwain fell in love with Joan, a young Norman lady intended for Sir Guy. When the affair was discovered, Sir Guy accused Dwain of treason and wanted to hang him. Dwain fled and stumbled across Godwyn and Thomas the Poacher in the story, Two Faces of Love.

Dwain is grateful to Godwyn and Thomas for helping him escape Sir Guy and for reuniting him with his lover, Joan. Dwain said he owes Godwyn a debt of gratitude (that was in 1191).

Dwain's lineage is unknown but he seems to be some kind of minor Welsh noble or other. He's poor, to the point where he entered the service of a Norman lord.
