Brenna

Brenna the Swift was a bear hunter. She has green eyes. The only person aside from Cassius whose hand Crusher would abide.

When she was 10 years old a winter disease claimed both of her parents, and she came to Castle Kural and instantly become something of a shadow to Cassius. When she was around 15 years old she became the best archer and swiftest rider.

She participated in Cassius's hunting band after a stag. She stalked it clad in white, armed with a bow. She approached it just after it had transformed back in Wahooka. He warned them of osnter marauders. Cassius told her that once when they draw near the marauders, she'd leave and ride home to sound the alarm.

Once inside the basin, Brenna left the group and descended the back side of the mountain, circling away from the invaders so she would not be delayed by fighting. To reach the Castle Brenna would have to ride down the canyon and through the Wilshire Bottoms.

She rode two horses to ground, and gave her warning to the castle. She told Sir Vinn to hurry but it took the knights so long to get ready. call their squires and get their armor

She followed Lord Alban to Giant's Gullet guiding Crusher. She was shocked to hear that her companions were killed and felt that it was her fault that she couldn't bring the army quick enough but Cassius told her it was his fault. Cassius told her to come with him on his way to Stonkeep.

At Stonekeep, she was not allowe in the High Council. Later Hortigern took them to a tailor and she wore satin tunic and velvet doublet that passed for squire's garb in Stonekeep. She followed Cassius to Varden's Privy Garden. Varden ignored her presence but Hortigern had already warned Cassius that it was considered rude to force a high members of nobility to acknowledge a mere aide.

Brenna followed the knights and Cassius back to Kural. Outside the Low Valley she insistingly offered to scale the cliff and see if there is an ambush. Cassius didn't let her, believing that the galok would still control the high ground, and Melwas chastised her for being rude to her superiors. Melwas suggested to send the Brass Axe Company as a bait while Brenna would then sneak the sorcerer Boghos and a troop up the cliff to surprise the galok.
