## Biography

### Time in Shikonjima (1590 - 1649)

**OOC: This section is a Work in Progress. It might be changed heavily.**
After he set himself up in Miyamachi, Akatsuki, Gwydion began to import and sell the products of a young gun-foundry, which would become Gabha Blacksmiths Limited centuries later. He sold rifles and artillery pieces, including guns with detachable chambers (the Selkie call them Cuasánbre) and mortars, to everyone, who could afford them. That made him reviled, yet also established a dependency as he was the only supplier to the clans for some of the best artillery money could buy.

He sold to the Lords of Akatsuki-Domain, the Sageshima-Clan, he sold to the Yamura-Clan and the Tamori-Clan. His activity of selling to everyone with the appropriate amount of coin drew the ire of many Clan Lords, but they could not do much against it, as he was the only importer of Selkie-Weaponry.

In 1599, he got to know the love of his life, Sakura, who he married in 1601. The couple had two daughters, Carys (1602) and Olwyn (1608). Sakura died in 1639 to an assassination attempt on him, her simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time. To this day, Gwydion believes the Tamori-Clan to be responsible.

Stricken by grief, Gwydion buried himself deep in his work, importing more and more weapons of Selkie-manufacture into the heating powder keg that was Shikonjima. The Clan Wars soon broke out and it was with almost maniacal glee, that Gwydion saw the people, who had killed his love, spent themselves in a senseless war with the very weapons he had sold him.

His glee would not last long. As the situation became more and more critical by the day in 1649, Gwydion emptied his stocks by literally gifting his remaining three hundred rifles and twelve chamber guns to the head of the Sageshima-Clan and boarded one of his ships containing all of his and his daughters' worldly possessions, including said daughters, and sailed off.

He returned to the Lands of the Selkie and established himself there, near Traverse, soon moving to Conall Curach - the MGoL had taken the Northern Islands and Gwydion saw a chance in the fur trade.

In early 1650, troops of the Tamori-Clan stormed Miyamachi. They broke the walls with the very same guns Gwydion had sold them.

### Present Day (1980 - today)

In the early 80s, Gwydion returned to the business of arms trading: In the light of unrest in Nho Quoc and other colonies of Shikonjima, Gwydion began to export arms and military equipment to rebel groups, in support not of their cause, but in support of them killing Shikos. They, in his words, were to feel the same pain he had felt, when he had cradled his dead wife, thousands of times. It was, still in his words, not a calm business decision, but a personal matter. Carys and Olwyn supported him as much as they could, including pulling some strings with the Mangaire Dealership Company Limited and acquiring a lot of surplus from the RKA.

After the independence movement in Nho Quoc emerged victorious in 1988 and the collapse of the Shogunate was on the horizon, Gwydion retreated again from arms dealing - his thirst for revenge was sated.

## Character

He absolutely hates Shikonjima and especially the ruling Tamori-Clan, despite it being the land of his Love and the land, where his daughters were born.

## Personal Relations

### Carys and Olwyn

Gwydion loves his daughters dearly,

While, to the outside observer, it seems as if the two act as his maids, they are far more then that.
