Gwyn ap Nudd's Relationships

A list of Gwyn ap Nudd's relationships in *The Fae Tales Verse* canon.

## Relationships

### Albion

Gwyn used to trust Albion to some extent (almost entirely in his capability with his power, and no more), but their relationship greatly soured, particularly as Albion showed he was more open to spending time with Crielle ferch Fnwy, and as Albion became more patronizing of Gwyn's behavior. Albion used to hope that Gwyn would grow into his role as King. Albion views Gwyn hiding his alignment as a betrayal, and his attacks on the Unseelie Court after becoming King were part of a vengeful vendetta against Gwyn. Albion has called Gwyn 'traitor' and a 'dog'. Albion reminds Gwyn of his father, in that they are both 'ruthless, cold, [and] stern'. Gwyn was enraged over Albion keeping Gwyn's Glasera armor, and even before Gwyn's demotion, was annoyed by Albion's gullibility to Crielle's machinations.

### Aleutia the Rat-Maiden

Gwyn tried to assassinate Aleutia many times, due to her excellent skills as a healer. Over time, Gwyn seemed to trust in Aleutia, at least insofar as she is Court healer, as she is present during important meetings with his Inner Court. Aleutia also seems to care for him to some extent, even checking up on him without asking.

### Alysia mer Malakhy

According to Mikkel, Alysia disliked Gwyn. Gwyn still has some trauma from being interrogated by her while he was underfae.

### Amaley Manytrees

Amaley was polite to Gwyn when she met him, and supportive of his plans for inter-alignment cooperation.

### Ash Glashtyn

Although they worked together against the Nightingale, they became enemies due to Gwyn's treatment of Augus Each Uisge. When Gwyn arrived at the Unseelie Court in *Game Theory*, Ash frequently harassed him, to the point that Gwyn likened him to Efnisien ap Wledig. After Ash became part of Gwyn's Inner Court, Ash's rage at Gwyn resulted in Ash encouraging a mutiny against Gwyn, prompting Gwyn to retaliate. With Augus' intervention - revealing Gwyn was also an abuse victim himself - as well as Gulvi Dubna Vajat's anger, and Gwyn and Ash both carefully working around each other, the two later reconciled and became friends.

### Augus Each Uisge

Gwyn and Augus' relationship began when Gwyn sought out Augus' help to destroy Gwyn's heartsong of triumph, for which Gwyn is grateful, and which gave Augus deep insight in Gwyn's psyche. They later became enemies when Augus became King of the Unseelie Fae and aligned with the Nightingale, and when Gwyn successfully defeated and captured Augus. During Augus' imprisonment at the Seelie Court, their relationship deepened, and turned into love. After Gwyn became King of the Unseelie Court, he made Augus his Advisor, to 'preside over the Common Work, including all matters relating to underfae' as well as 'dual overseer of the Wild Hunt, as well as Magistrate, and primary interrogator', as well as Gwyn's consort. They also keep each other humble: Gwyn has made a point to emphasize that he was a far better King - on both alignments - than Augus, whether to Augus' face or to others, while Augus often points out that there are plenty of benefits to being Unseelie that Gwyn can find comfort in and enjoy, equally or more so than being Seelie, and that Gwyn is much like his father.

### Autumn's End

Gwyn considers her something like a friend, and they have a close, loving, supportive relationship. She's one of the few people he trusts, and served as his caretaker after he died and recovered. Augus noted she's like a mother figure to Gwyn.

### Awan

Awan was respectful towards Gwyn, like he was towards other guests, but largely unintimidated by Gwyn or his authority, and even touched Gwyn on at least one occasion to calm him. It's possible Awan knows something about Gwyn's shoulder injury: at one point, Awan clapped Gwyn on the shoulder, and Awan noticed Gwyn flinch. Awan did not seem impressed by Gwyn's decision to essentially start war between the House of Atros and the Mantissa for Augus.

### Crielle ferch Fnwy

'Crielle had loathed [Gwyn] from birth, and was cruel and vindictive, not opposed to harming him physically or mentally.' 'Even at [age] three, [Gwyn] understood that Crielle had no love for him and wasn’t interested in his survival.' She called him 'creature' and 'it'. Gwyn apparently once thought 'it was he and his father against the evil and calculated malice of his mother. He'd been wrong, of course.' Crielle was disgusted by him and hated him since birth, and physically and mentally assaulted and brainwashed Gwyn for almost 3,000 years, in revenge for his injuring her and making her infertile, as well as for the being an Unseelie born to a high class Seelie family.

Augus theorized that Crielle was subtly cruel in other ways, such as tailoring his clothing so that it never fit properly to always make him uncomfortable, knowing it would make him squirm so she could reprimand him, and making him live in constant dread of what new torture she'd set for him. She is the primary reason he fears comfort. Gwyn found her intimidating and terrifying, even when he was higher status than she was, and Augus has commented that it is notable that while Gwyn has spoken at length of Lludd Llaw Eraint and Efnisien's cruelty, he's said little of Crielle. Crielle also offered to send a torturer to torment him when Gwyn returned from Tigbalan. Gwyn was deeply upset when she died, and even got into fights with Augus about it, which took up a substantial portion of *The Court of Five Thrones*. It was also only through reading her journals that Gwyn learned the date of his birth, as his family never told him.

### Davix

Davix taunted Gwyn more than once, particularly throughout *The Court of Five Thrones.* He finds Gwyn very predictable. He also stated that he personally likes Gwyn.

### Delphine (Cook)

Gwyn considered Delphine his friend and a major reason Gwyn survived his childhood, as she gave him food when his parents deprived him. Gwyn noted that although he didn't know his birthday up until the end of *The Court of Five Thrones*, Delphine told him the plant of his birth by giving him a cake with ivy marchpane twined around it during the winter solstice. He was deeply hurt by Augus killing her, and even the thought of confronting her in death (or what remained of her) was traumatic.

### Duribard

Gwyn asserted that he is fond of Duribard and used to drink with him, sharing stories, through which Gwyn became familiar with Duribard's family and hobbies. While Gwyn might have liked Duribard in the past, it's implied that Gwyn's 'continued fondness' is because of Duribard's position to craft and/or steal equipment from the Seelie Court and give it to the Unseelie Court, and how the information Duribard shared can be used by Gwyn to keep the dwarf in line. Duribard despises and fears him.

### Efnisien ap Wledig

Efnisien tortured Gwyn throughout Gwyn's life. Gwyn used to worry he was just as bad as, if not worse, than Efnisien, particularly in how Gwyn wanted to torture Cyledr, and his treatment of Augus while Augus was Gwyn's prisoner in the Seelie Court. Efnisien was one of the few people Gwyn hated, which Efnisien returned in Gwyn's early twenties. Efnisien never respected Gwyn, largely due to being Crielle's favorite, even while Gwyn was King, and even tortured one of Gwyn's servants in Gwyn's personal rooms. Gwyn was only stopped from badly injuring, exiling, or killing Efnisien because of what Crielle might do in retaliation. Gwyn also credits Efnisien with teaching him 'battle strategy and tactics', due to Efnisien's torture methods and Gwyn's attempts to avoid them. It is largely due to Efnisien that Gwyn is so good at withstanding torture. Gwyn missed Efnisien a little in *Unwound*, largely because of nostalgia.

### Eran Iliakambar

Initially, Gwyn cared very little for Eran, and it was only when Kabiri bound them together that Gwyn began to take more of an interest in Eran's life. Although Eran was initially hostile to Gwyn (as the Traitor King), and Gwyn didn't think much of the rather insignificant and insulting Seelie fae, Gwyn became a sort of mentor/replacement father figure for Eran. Gwyn noted, late in their journey, that he would kill on Eran's behalf, due to that care. Eran cares greatly about Gwyn's opinion, and wants to help protect him from himself, and be supportive.

### Ethwynn

Ethwynn trained Gwyn in cartography and related disciplines, and seems to have been one of the rare tutors whom Gwyn chose for himself, rather than Lludd choosing on Gwyn's behalf. Gwyn seems to care for Ethwynn's opinion, and greatly appreciated his support.

### Euroswydd

Euroswydd knew that Efnisien and Gwyn 'played' together, and it's possible that he also knew (and maybe approved) of Efnisien torturing Gwyn at these times, at least considering his care for Penarddun ferch Fnwy.

### Fenwrel the Mouse Maiden

Fenwrel told Gwyn that being 'disowned' did not take his name away. Gwyn is envious of her skills and grace. He initially distrusted her, on the grounds of her being Unseelie, but over time, they grew into being friends, to the point that Gwyn appointed her Inner Court and Court Mage. She also enchanted Mikkel's cord for Gwyn so that the leather would never fall apart. She also attempted 'to poke him into an interest [in learning magic], but he could feel himself shutting down whenever she so much as mentioned his magic potential.'

### The Gancanagh

Gwyn appeared to be familiar with the Gancanagh prior to meeting at Oengus' tower, as Gwyn could tell the Gancanagh's dra'ocht by feel before seeing the fae in question, but it's unclear how friendly they are with each other.

### Gille Dubh

Eran noted that Gwyn seemed melancholy over potentially losing Gille Dubh's friendship due to Gwyn's 'betrayal', but Luridan noted that the friendship might not be lost. Gille Dubh still respects Gwyn to some extent, and thinks he was a good King. In Dharnam, Gille Dubh seemed to have come more around to the idea of Gwyn being King, particularly the Dual-King, and even gifted him a pair of sapphire earrings, and noted that Augus, as Gwyn's lover, was allowed to come visit Gille Dubh's loch.

### Grip

Gwyn is Grip's owner. The two are very close and Gwyn enjoys playing with him, uncaring if he makes a fool of himself while doing so, as, 'Dogs didn’t deserve owners who worried about their appearance around them.' Gwyn established trust in Grip as a puppy, praising Grip any time he gave Gwyn his attention so Grip would associate him with praise and warmth.

### Gulvi Dubna Vajat

Gwyn considers Gulvi to be his best friend. They've known each other for many years prior to *Game Theory,* and also go drinking together. Gulvi considers him one of her closest friends and also like an older brother. She often advises him on his relationships, particularly with Augus. Gwyn taught her a great deal about being a courtier. After the Inner Court Reversal, Gwyn made Gulvi his Queen-in-Waiting, Chief Judge, and executioner.

### Ifir

Ifir said that Gwyn was always serious. 'Ifir admired the Traitor King and called him by his first name and spoke of him like a colleague and even at times a strange friend. They’d shared marrow together on a battlefield, and mourned lost comrades. [Eran's] father, who had betrayed the Traitor King, turned a mutiny on him, lost a horn to him' and then became his friend. Gwyn never trusted Ifir, but he respected and even liked Ifir, even to the point that he wanted to keep Eran safe out of that respect. Gwyn thinks Eran reminds him of Ifir.

### Julvia Dubna Vajat

Gwyn helped save Julvia's life by finding her when even Gulvi failed. He's sought her advice in the past. She once gave him her wings to hold while she went to play in the ocean with Ondine; a choice that likely wasn't made lightly.

### Kabiri

Although Kabiri pointed out that Gwyn pissed off a lot of underworlds gods by using the soulbond, and the pair often fight, Kabiri is somewhat fond of Gwyn, and caressed his face in a comforting way on multiple occasions. Kabiri also asked if they were flirting during the Masque, and implied that he was interested.

### The King of the Forest

The King of the Forest was only ever shown in the canon talking to Gwyn directly. Gwyn himself is often depicted with stag iconography (such as the antlers in Augus' collar, wearing a white hind mask during the Masque, and having the illusion of black antlers placed on his new armour), and Prince Vane called him the 'Stag King'. The connection between the King of the Forest and Gwyn was made even plainer when Gwyn says 'I'm King of the Forest now, am I? I believe the position is taken.'

### Lludd Llaw Eriant

Although Lludd tortured and beat Gwyn, with 'whip, crop, quirt, cane' and barehanded, and forced Gwyn to kill Mafydd Brant, Gwyn still wanted to please him, and sometimes, even managed to. Despite Gwyn not wanting to be like his father because of Lludd's cruelty, Augus has often pointed out how similar they are, including their mannerisms, even more so than Gwyn and Efnisien. Although Lludd wanted Gwyn dead, Gwyn has noted on multiple occasions that Lludd hired very good tutors for him, which helped Gwyn become a better fighter, and better able to survive Lludd's abuse. Lludd also gave Gwyn the knowledge on torture, which Gwyn later used on Augus. Lludd also taught Gwyn how to protect himself from compulsions, and encouraged him to study lost languages. Gwyn originally wanted to be a scholar, but Lludd beat him for the suggestion.

Lludd never took Gwyn with him on the sea 'because Gwyn had never earned the privilege. He had to serve on the land army, his father wanted him nowhere near the Seelie navy.' Although people think Lludd, along with Crielle, machinated Gwyn's position onto the Seelie throne, none of them supported the promotion. Gwyn has noted on multiple occasions that Lludd's death ultimately meant nothing to him. Gwyn is still terrified of his father, even in death.

### Luridan

Luridan is friendly towards Gwyn, and Gwyn seemed to have some fondness for him, and encouraged his tall tales, possibly to make him happy.

### Mafydd Brant

Mafydd was Gwyn's first friend and first love, and taught him about intimacy and submission. Mafydd didn't care much for respecting Gwyn's personal space, and dismissed Gwyn's insistence that Gwyn was in love with him, making Gwyn question his ability to differentiate love from infatuation. Mafydd also introduced Gwyn to submission, and taught him to control his light. Mafydd worried for Gwyn's welfare, and tried to comfort him after the abuse Gwyn experienced at the hands of his family. When Lludd forced Gwyn to murder Mafydd for Gwyn's revealing his true alignment, the experienced deeply scarred Gwyn, and made him suicidal. Speaking of Mafydd is still difficult for Gwyn.

### Marika

As an adult, Gwyn realized there were depths to Marika that he hadn't seen as a child. She hid her care for him as a child, and still likes him for never supporting the Oak King's anti-Unseelie agenda. She still criticizes him for not meeting his mother's standards. But Mosk Manytrees noted they seemed like friends.

### Melchor

Due to Gwyn being a victim of Crielle, and Melchor being assigned to protect her, it is likely that Melchor was one of the people involved in concealing her abuse of Gwyn from others. It's also possible that Gwyn cared for Melchor to some extent, as when Gwyn was upset that Augus had murdered more than Crielle during Augus' massacre, Gwyn said, 'You killed all of them! You say I might not have survived Crielle, then, *all right*- But the others? How could you kill Delphine? And even Melchor? *How?*'

### Mikkel

Mikkel originally helped interrogate Gwyn after Gwyn's true alignment was revealed, and later extended an offer of friendship to Gwyn after the latter was disowned. Mikkel initially reminded Gwyn of Mafydd, particularly given their similar eye color, and that they were both Readers. Mikkel initially said that he was bored and found Gwyn interesting, but also found Gwyn useful as a way to help Seelie fae generally, versus Albion's vengeance-driven machinations. Mikkel also appreciated that Gwyn actually *listened* to what he said. The pair formed a warm friendship over time, and Gwyn promised to create a refuge for Readers outside of Court control. Mikkel's death, and particularly that it was to save Gwyn's life, was very traumatic for Gwyn. Gwyn ultimately kept his promise to Mikkel, and used personal funds and favors to help Ondine make a refuge for Readers. Gwyn still misses him.

### Mosk Manytrees

Mosk and Gwyn started off well when they met at the Masque, bonding over archery, but when they met again, Mosk became terrified of Gwyn, for Gwyn often had Mosk interrogated, or threatened to do so. They were at odds with each other as Mosk grew bolder and angrier at Gwyn's negligence, but bonded again while training their abilities together in combat. Gwyn now trusts Mosk's judgment and skill in combat, knowing that Mosk can protect himself and others. Mosk enjoys having Gwyn's trust and friendship. Mosk was also enraged that Gwyn didn't 'bother' to train his magic, seemingly placing more trouble on Mosk's shoulders, but once he realized more of what Gwyn had experienced and was doing, he became more protective of Gwyn, and wants to adopt Gwyn as part of his own family. Gwyn has worked on being more open with Mosk. After talking with Mosk more, Gwyn noted, ‘I’m grateful you came into my life.’ Mosk loves him.

### The Nain Rouge

The Nain Rouge is playfully antagonistic to Gwyn, often threatening to eat his powers, while Gwyn is cautious of her, doing his best to hold her back from hurting others.

### The Nightingale

Gwyn is crucial to the recapture and re-imprisonment of the Nightingale. Gwyn does not talk or think about his experience in the underworlds at all, except briefly in *The Court of Five Thrones,* when he learns that Augus has underworld poisoning. Gwyn senses the Nightingale's lingering presence in the untransformed Unseelie Court, and knows this is one reason the Court is unhealthy for Augus. Gwyn struggles to remove it when he transforms the Court.

### The Oak King

Gwyn seemingly has a caustic relationship with Quercus. They were once close enough to the point that Gwyn had his 'ear' and knew his agendas. Nonetheless, Gwyn is made King without being asked, which Gwyn tries to not view as an insult. Gwyn considers Quercus a coward, and lacking his respect for leaving the 'hard work' to the 'equivalent of *children*'. Gwyn still compares himself to Quercus, wondering what Quercus might have done better, though he also feels disappointed by Quercus, as Gwyn used to worship the man. Gwyn says that Quercus taught him 'the ins and outs of betrayal'.

### King Oengus Og

Oengus and Gwyn were comrades in arms when Gwyn served with the Seelie military. Oengus considered Gwyn's hiding his alignment and going to serve with the Unseelie as a betrayal, but was still fond of him.

### Old Pete

Old Pete seems to have known at least *of* Gwyn for a long time, since Old Pete remembers Gwyn when Gwyn was younger and eager and obedient. Old Pete calls Gwyn 'Bright One'. Gwyn seemingly wanted to take up a Storykeeper role when he was younger, and is typically suspicious around Old Pete, thinking he's got some gambit up his sleeve, but the pair seem to get along, and Gwyn seemingly trusts his advice during *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*. Gwyn comments to the Raven Prince that he can't wait until Old Pete leaves the Unseelie Court, though it's unclear if Gwyn is joking.

### Olphix

Gwyn hates Olphix, and will be happy to kill him. Olphix said that Gwyn is 'far stupider than Albion'.

### Ondine

Although Gwyn trusts Ondine and views her as a friend, he also picked her to strengthen the lie of his false alignment while he was pretending to be Seelie. The pair have worked to repair their friendship, and still care for each other, though they will still fight. Ondine is also one of the few fae Gwyn lets himself be somewhat open around. Ondine knew early on some of what Gwyn faced, when she met Lludd and divined for him, and saw some of what he did to Gwyn. Ondine also knows about Gwyn's scarred shoulder.

### Oura Selich

Although they seem to be only acquaintances, Gwyn and Oura spoke prior to his demotion at the Seelie Court, and 'had passed some pleasant conversations' together.

### Penarddun ferch Fnwy

Gwyn knew Penarddun was worse than his other family members in her murder of servants. Penarddun knew that Efnisien and Gwyn 'played' together, and it's possible that she also knew (and maybe approved) of Efnisien torturing Gwyn at these times.

### The Raven Prince

Gwyn used to respect the Raven Prince, and once even dreamed of meeting him. but Gwyn has hated the Raven Prince since Augus' reveal of his actions during *The Court of Five Thrones,* and seemed to take some joy in fighting and taking down the Raven Prince while on the Mantissa. Over the course of their trip on the Mantissa, Augus noted that now that Gwyn has actually *met* the Raven Prince, even Gwyn loved him in his own way, because the Raven Prince just does that to people. The Raven Prince originally thought Gwyn was 'a warring, oafish, cod’s head of a General who was an effective killing machine, yes, and a not entirely terrible strategist, but nothing more than that. Not a scholar. Not skilled in the arts. Not anything more than a post-script at the end of the illustrious An Fnwy bloodline', and was shocked to learn that Gwyn had many powerful alliances and knew a great deal. Now that he knows Gwyn's true alignment, the Raven Prince feels proprietary towards Gwyn, as Gwyn should have been given to the Unseelie Court at birth. Despite Gwyn's lack of magical training, and, and despite the Raven Prince never taking an apprentice, the Raven Prince essentially offered Gwyn an apprenticeship in the future upon their parting. Mosk theorized to Gwyn: ‘I think the reason the Raven Prince is so upset with what you did to your magic . . . is that your magic is actually very beautiful.' The Raven Prince is still patronizing about the apprenticeship, though, and would prefer Mosk as an apprentice.

### Stertes

Gwyn dislikes Stertes from their first meeting. Stertes thinks little of Gwyn, other than to be patronizing and show off Stertes' authority. Stertes often points out that the Unseelie Court has done little for the sea fae, yet expects much of them. Gwyn tells Mosk that he'd have killed Stertes if Gwyn had witnessed Stertes' assault on Eran.

### Taronis

Taronis holds little regard for Gwyn, both as an individual and for his position as King of the Unseelie. He only permitted Gwyn to ask three questions when Gwyn visited the School of the Staff and even threatened to hurt him in response to one of Gwyn's interruptions. Gwyn thinks Taronis takes being fae a bit too seriously and also sees him as cold, though Gwyn is also a bit too surprised by their conversation to be fully offended. Gwyn later noted that even though his status as King of the Seelie is unofficial, he can still punish Taronis for acting above his station.

### Terho the Mouse-Lad

Gwyn sought Terho's help against the Nightingale, but also helped hide him away after Augus' defeat when Terho's life was in danger. Although it seems that Gwyn cares for Terho, his visits to Terho's new home often made Terho suffer, to the point that Anika the Sparrow-Girl asked Gwyn for some relief on Terho's behalf. Gwyn seems to care for Terho to some extent, but was - and still is - quite willing to use him to defeat the Nightingale and Augus. Terho said that Gwyn means well, but that he can be cruel, as well, and what he did, he did for the greater good. Gwyn did ensure that Anika and her family would care for Terho in Gwyn's absence, even when Gwyn was demoted. Gwyn regrets treating Terho so poorly by pushing him hard enough to hurt himself on behalf of their goals.

### Tigbalan

Tigbalan is disgusted by Gwyn and patronizing towards him, but would be happy to feast upon Gwyn's suffering at the next opportunity. Tigbalan's treatment traumatized Gwyn greatly, and Gwyn still struggles to control himself when Tigbalan is around.

### Prince Vane

Vane despised Gwyn, and considered him stupid and ill-suited to be King of the Unseelie Court, and worked hard to get close to Gwyn, supporting him as needed, and even flirting with him. Gwyn thought warmly of Vane during the charade, and even encouraged him when Vane seemed too self-deprecating, but was hesitant around Vane's flirtatious advances, and ultimately declined them, out of a desire to be entirely Augus' (outside of post-combat situations). Gwyn views not seeing through Vane's deception as a personal failing.

### Zudanna

She seems to get along well with Gwyn, and he appears to trust in her opinions on strategy and combat. She helped take control over military matters in his absence, indicating his trust in her. She might have disproved of the money he spent on his new armor. When they met again in Dharnam, they greeted each other as old friends.
