Emrys

Emrys, Abbot of Saint Neot's Abbey, Dom. This renowned Gabrilite adept and Healer was born on the 5th day of September in the Year of Our Lord 835. He joined the Order of Saint Gabriel in the year 856, and was elected Abbot of Saint Neot's Abbey on the 13th day of July in the year 888.  He killed Brother Ulric on the 2nd day of May in the year 905, after the latter went berserk during his training to become a Healer, and later used Ulric's body as an example of how to treat war wounds. He attended the consecration of Father Alister Cullen as Bishop of Grecotha and Vicar General Robert Oriss as Archbishop of Rhemuth on the 9th day of July in the year 905 at Valoret.
He came to Valoret in the Summer of the year 906 to complain to King Cinhil I of encroachments on his Abbey's lands.  On the 23rd day of October in that year he participated in the 1st consistory of Archbishop Jaffray. On the 21st day of December in the year 910 he declined a position on the Camberian Council on account of age. On the 6th day of March in the year 917 he was enlisted by the Council to find additional Healers who had the "blocking" talent, and met with Rhys and Camber at Saint Neot's Abbey on the 16th day of April.
He was present at the coronation of King Alroy at Valoret on the 25th day of May. On the 24th day of December in that year he was slain while destroying the portal at Saint Neot's Abbey, defending it against the incursion of Rhun the Ruthless and his men. He was 82 years of age at his death.
He is described in the Legends as being a "white-haired, white‑robed shadow of a man, gliding wraith-like in the invisible mantle of his Deryniness." His last psychic message at the abandoned portal of Saint Neot's Abbey noted that "The humans kill what they do not understand." R.I.P.
