Gurren

Gurren was an old smith of Neret Sorr, where he lived with his daughter, Renarr. His wife, Shellas, had been a captain in Urusander's Legion before losing her life in the war with the Jheleck. She had died saving Vatha Urusander from an assassination attempt. After her death, Gurren refused to have any dealings with the Legion or its commander.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 12, UK HC p.358
Gurren was bowed by a lifetime of hard work. He was muscular, but slack skin, watery grey eyes, and a mucous-filled cough betrayed his ill health.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 12, UK HC p.360 He was dying of an illness of the lungs and, still grieving over the loss of his wife, he looked forward to death. He refused to see the Legion's healer, Cutter Aras, because he was ready to be reunited with his wife in death.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 12, UK HC p.366

Gurren was relieved when Lord Urusander's son, Osserc, strangled Renarr's suitor, Millick, in retaliation for the beating of his daughter. He never liked the boy and hated the thought of leaving his daughter in the care of a violent man.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 12, UK HC p.361 Lord Urusander offered Renarr the Legion's healer and promised to sponsor her in the keep for the rest of her life to recompense for his son's actions. Gurren accepted and told Vatha that the water was clear between them for the first time since Shellas died.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 12, UK HC p.368 Soon after, Gurren succumbed to his illness.Forge of Darkness, Chapter 18, UK HC p.580
