## Physical description

### Hair color

Black

"*I don't want the world to end . . . And I think that's where we're headed, and that's what the intrepid team you're part of might try to halt. I make mischief, to be sure, but I don't want the world to end. I want to visit Oengus' tower for many years yet, look upon his divine countenance, listen to him speak, wish to soothe him with my lips and words and body. Instead to share this tower silently with him. I want to wander the world still. Sometimes even an Unseelie fae must help instead of hinder. Have you not learned that yet, with the company you keep?*"
―The Gancanagh[[The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire, Chapter 24: Blessings in Disguise]]**The Gancanagh** is an Unseelie luchorpan who resided as a guest at Oengus' tower when Gwyn ap Nudd, Eran Iliakambar, Mosk Manytrees, and Augus Each Uisge came to seek Oengus' help to break Olphix's spells during the ice plague. After Oengus' death, he fled into the night, supposedly to check on Oengus' status. He reappeared in Dharnam, to help Ash. After the battle with Olphix, the Gancanagh took to traveling the fae realm with Ash.

## Appetite

Unrequited love - he feeds off unrequited love and lust, usually that which people have for him. In particular, he inspires people to pine to death, and feeds particularly well off their deaths.

## Appearance

#### Pronunciation

Gan-con-er

He has elongated, pointed aelf ears, which is unusual in *The Fae Tales Verse*. He has straight black hair that falls just above his chin, and eyes that appear black but are actually very dark brown. His skin is lightly tan and he appears about 30 years old, despite being significantly older. He also has a 'vicious scar' over one eyebrow, 'splitting it in two'. His dra'ocht makes him appear attractive to all.

He has black eyebrows and eyelashes, and is given to lazy, sardonic expressions. He has no facial hair. He wears a tiny black serpent in the cartilage of one of his ears that is actually alive, though it is usually very still. The Gancanagh calls it his 'wee Bimble.'

He tends to wear a long leather coat and black leather pants, alongside sturdy boots that are often calf-length. The points of his boots curl up a little. He has a charm about his neck Oengus gifted him that protects him. It has three bird feathers splayed downwards in the symbol of Awen. The first feather means protection, the second offers him foresight, and the third offers him solace.

He carries a dudeen (Irish clay pipe) with him for smoking, which is painted, and delicate.

His true-form is about one foot high. In true-form he has a dark green hat with a black leather trim that he doesn't wear in human-form. In his human-form, he is quite tall.

## Personality

The Gancanagh is laconic, dangerous, and morally gray. While he appears to care for people - going out of his way to help settle Eran when he's distressed, and he deeply loves Oengus - he also actively seduced Mosk and treated him quite callously. Despite manipulating Mosk (and messing with Eran), his insight to Eran about Mosk's nature actually assists Eran. Ash noted that he 'really enjoys killing fae who are literally pining to death. He gets this look in his eyes, like someone lit a black fire inside of him.' Augus noted that outside 'of the Nain Rouge, he was easily the evillest fae [they] travelled with.’

Ash Glashtyn warned Eran that the Gancanagh is too dangerous for 'anyone under the age of like a thousand.' Ash said that the Gancanagh is exceptionally good at seeing what people need, particularly if it can be accomplished through sex.

He has a flowery and indirect way of speaking, and noted, 'I can be more direct, but I like the older ways of speaking.'

The Gancanagh appears somewhat self-deprecating, as he says, 'perfection...that's not me . . . that's never been me.' The Gancanagh is also given to contemplation and is often quite pensive. He is not gregarious or particularly social, but he does not appear to be reclusive.

The Gancanagh is broken-hearted, and finds his unrequited love for Oengus ironic, given his Unseelie appetite of feeding on the unrequited love of others. He also preferred to spend his time around Oengus than without, and even helped Oengus with chores around the tower. Oengus' death was devastating to the Gancanagh: he fled from the others, and wasn't seen again until the Glashtyn changed back to Ash in Dharnam, because he was looking for love.

After the battle with Olphix was over, the Gancanagh still worries about the ice plague coming back.

## Life

The Gancanagh described his home as being wild, grey-green, cold, and damp, with more clover, rocky mountainsides, serpentine lakes and rivers, and lonely. He's traveled a great deal, and knows many different kinds of fae.

Since he has slept with Augus, and Augus doesn't have relationships or sleep with people outside of his work as a dominant (until he met Gwyn), this implies that the Gancanagh has seen Augus for his services as a transformative/healing Dominant at some point in his life. The Gancanagh stated that Augus 'saved' him, though it's unclear from what.

At some point prior to meeting Gwyn and the rest of the group during the ice plague, the Gancanagh came to reside as a guest at Oengus' tower. He met with Gwyn, Augus, Mosk, and Eran, and warmly greeted Augus in particular. Eran instantly disliked the Gancanagh's dra'ocht, because it felt invasive and was non-consensual. It's implied that the Gancanagh's dra'ocht encouraged Gwyn and Augus, and Eran and Mosk, to be more physically involved with their respective partners during their stay at Oengus' tower.

When Eran revealed Mosk's revelations about Davix, Augus used his compulsions to get the truth out of Mosk, and the Gancanagh told Augus to stop, as the 'wee dryad’s been tortured enough, hasn’t he?'

When Mosk offered himself to the Gancanagh, the Gancanagh accepted, even asking for Mosk's consent three times. The Gancanagh discussed his love for Oengus. They were interrupted by Augus, who used compulsions to make the Gancanagh stop, and for Mosk to leave with him. In Mosk's anger at being stopped, he called the Gancanagh pathetic for 'fall[ing] for his own trick'. When Mosk said he hadn't *begged* for the Gancanagh to sleep with him, the Gancanagh refuted him, enraging Mosk even more, to the point that Augus had to pull him away. The Gancanagh also told Augus that Mosk wasn't well. This event also made Eran a bit jealous of the Gancanagh.

When Ash, Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden, Gulvi Dubna Vajat, and Julvia Dubna Vajat arrived at Oengus' tower, the Gancanagh joined everyone to discuss what was happening. Ash greeted him warmly, and the Gancanagh returned the warmth. Ash realized that the Gancanagh had been intimate with Augus, and then asked the Gancanagh to say which of them was a better bed partner. Gulvi said it had to be Ash. Oengus said 'I'm not sure about that'. The Gancanagh invited Ash up to his room, which Ash accepted, and the pair left the gathering.

The Gancanagh later found Eran in distress, and pulled him into the Gancanagh's room to give him some tea, and asked why Eran wasn't confiding in Mosk. They discussed Mosk, and what Mosk needed help with. Gwyn interrupted the meeting, greeting them both and checking on Eran's welfare, as well as asking the Gancanagh not to feed on members of Gwyn's team. At one point, the Gancanagh stole a kiss from Eran, and said it was a blessing. The Gancanagh later visited Eran in one of Oengus' workrooms, which Eran thought also might have been another attempt to comfort Eran, and they discussed the Gancanagh's homeland and Eran's thoughts about his existence as a hybrid.

The ice plague finally found the tower, and Oengus held it back long enough for his guests to gather themselves and what belongings they could. Oengus opened a portal for them all to go through, and promised to follow after them, but the Gancanagh begged him to go with them, knowing Oengus wouldn't follow. Ash ended up using his compulsions to push all but himself, the Gancanagh, and Oengus through, then physically dragged the Gancanagh along. Oengus used a burst of his own flute magic to spur them forward, before he was stabbed with an ice skewer and the portal shut behind them. The Gancanagh wailed for Oengus, running to where the portal had vanished..

The Gancanagh told Ash he had to be sure Oengus was gone, but that he'd see Ash again soon, then transformed into his true-form, and left.

The Gancanagh traveled 'through waterfalls and lakes and looked for a home without [his] home', and mourned Oengus. Eventually he was sure he was near death, because his appetite seemed to turn on his own unrequited love in a 'savage burst', but he survived, and ultimately his thoughts turned towards Ash, whom he missed.

The Gancanagh reappeared in Dharnam when the Glashtyn turned back into Ash. Ash ran to his side, and the pair embraced. The Gancanagh noted, '‘Tis a sore thing . . . but this luchorpan felt your soul crying, love. I know not else how to explain it. So here I am. Does a fair creature like yourself have time for this world-weary luchorpan?’ Ash noted, ‘You’re a sight for sore eyes, is what you are'. The Gancanagh later stood at Ash's side during the mourning bonfire during the festival of Evale.

After the festival, Eran came to visit him. The Gancanagh said he missed Ash while he was away, and still mourned Oengus. He noted Oengus would not have approved of the Gancanagh mourning, and said, 'I’d rather the sensation of his disapproval than nothing, do you see?’ The Gancanagh also noted, 'I was after some love, you see, and the Glashtyn was here, so I knew, so I came.' They talked a bit about Oengus, Ash, Mosk, and the Gancanagh's friendship with Eran. The Gancanagh noted, about Ash, ‘I have nothing to live for now, but I can spend some time with a friend. Especially a friend as heartsore as he.’

Ash noted that the Gancanagh wanted to help in the battle against Olphix, and Gwyn noted that he'd already spoken with the Gancanagh in private, and that he'd be 'making his way with Gille Dubh and Luridan.’ When Gwyn's group left Dharnam, the Gancanagh largely chatted with Ash along the trip about various adventures they'd had together. The Gancanagh and Ash also shared a tent, while Julvia used the Gancanagh's tent, which made her declare she wanted one of her own when she traveled.

After the battle with Olphix, the Gancanagh and Ash continued to travel together. They visited Eran in the Aur forest two years after Olphix's defeat. Ash encouraged Eran to move on, but was interrupted by the Gancanagh pointing out that *he* understood Eran's grief, and that Ash wouldn't have moved on when everyone thought Augus was dead. The Gancanagh also noted he would make use of Ash's company.

Ash and the Gancanagh didn't spend all their time together, but they spent a great deal of it together, and the Gancanangh was still traveling with Ash in the ninth year after the battle with Olphix.

The Gancanagh would sometimes talk to Oengus as if he was still there, though Ash noted he was improving. The Gancanagh was also opening up to Ash more about himself.

## Species: Luchorpan/Gancanagh

Not-Poignant has noted that the Gancanagh is a unique species of fae, like the glashtyn and each uisge: there is only one in the fae realm at any one time. He's also a luchorpan, or leprechaun, and in the fae realm is associated with luck. He is famous in the fae realm, and well-regarded, though he's also treated warily. Despite appearing only thirty, he is more ancient than the other fae around him, including Oengus.

## Special Abilities

#### Fae Abilities

**Dra'ocht:** The Gancanagh's glamour creates automatic, physical lust in people, and he's unable to turn it off. No matter one's sexuality or lack of attraction, everyone - unless they're a Mage with the ability to block his glamour - feels physical lust in his presence. It is far reaching. Mosk says, 'it helps him hunt. But unrequited love is the food. Humans pine after him, and he eats that.'

**Kissing Blessings:** The Gancanagh kissed Eran on the lips, which the Gancanagh said was a blessing.

#### Skills

**Fiddle/Violin:** Ash once met up with the Gancanagh when Ash was younger, and heard the Gancanagh fiddling, although it's left open-ended whether Ash fell in love with the Gancanagh or the music. He can also sing.

**Magic:** The Gancanagh noted that he doesn't possess useful magic.

## Relationships

#### Ash Glashtyn

Ash and the Gancanagh are fond of each other, have a long-standing physical relationship, and Pia has suggested they might become partners in the future. When the Gancanagh was distressed after Oengus' death and repeated "My love! My **only** love!", Ash was notably upset. The entire time they've known each other, the Gancanagh has been in love with Oengus. Although Oengus is still the Gancanagh's true love, the Gancanagh seems protective of Ash, in the way Eran is of Mosk.

#### Augus Each Uisge

Augus and the Gancanagh have unknown past history, but the two are easily intimate with each other, and seem to have a warm relationship, though Augus doesn't underestimate the Gancanagh. The Gancanagh respects and appreciates Augus. He also noted that Augus 'kisses like sin.'

#### Eran Iliakambar

Eran hates the Gancanagh's glamour and how it manipulates him, viewing it as a version of assault. The Gancanagh seemed to enjoy messing with him, but also comforted him on numerous occasions, which Eran appreciated.

#### Gille Dubh

The Gancanagh said Gille Dubh is a dear friend of his, and called him a 'sweet rooster-rider'.

#### Gwyn ap Nudd

Gwyn appeared to be familiar with him 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.

#### Luridan

The Gancanagh said Luridan is bolshy and a dear friend of his.

#### Mosk Manytrees

Mosk finds the Gancanagh's dra'ocht strange. He wanted to use the Gancanagh as a way to get out of his own head, and was frustrated at being stopped. The Gancanagh knew Mosk wasn't well, but doesn't pass up gifts when offered.

#### King Oengus Og

The Gancanagh loves Oengus, but the love was unrequited on Oengus' part. Oengus cared for the Gancanagh as a 'steadfast, true friend', who was there for Oengus when Oengus was at his lowest.

## Quotations

* 'A rest, a safehouse, ‘tis a place I’ve always come. Oengus cares not for my dra’ocht, and I like the poetical dreariness of the place. It’s good for smoking my dudeen, it is. And this man here, the King? Good day to you, Your Majesty, and fine things you’re doing for our Court now. This here one lost his way,’ he said, nodding towards Augus, ‘I’m glad to see he’s found it again.'
* 'Poor little leaflet,’ the Gancanagh said, his black eyes finding Mosk’s. ‘‘Tisn’t fair now, is it? What a story, to be tortured by someone such as Olphix. And only a small sapling, too. Never a good thing, to be a seventh son of a seventh son. I’d tell you stories, but you’re too busy being one, I doubt you want to hear the others.'
* 'No one forgets how cruel you can be, Augus, but sometimes I come close.'
* To Ash: 'Lover, it’s been so long,’ the Gancanagh said smoothly.'
* To Eran: 'You’re not weak for having a feeling about things,’ the Gancanagh said quietly. Eran hadn’t met his eyes once. He didn’t meet his eyes now. ‘Tisn’t weak to hurt, now, even though it feels weak. I’ve hurt for so long I’ve learned it’s no weakness. Carry a wound without dying for long enough, you realise you’re strong.'
* To Eran: 'A Gancanagh's blessing be upon you. . . . It's no small thing, to have the kiss of the Love Talker upon your lips.'
* To Eran: 'That's the thing about me. I'm passing fair and very sweet really. A monster and then a man who makes tea. A devourer of love, but love's little snack too. I recognise it in you, because I know it in myself. You're broken-hearted, my golden-eyed candle. It's not fair, now. Tisn't fair at all.'
* To Eran: ‘I know you’re Seelie, but that’s not how justice works, little candle,’ the Gancanagh said, lifting an eyebrow. ‘If you do something wrong and you wish you hadn’t, you take responsibility for your actions and you apologise. There. Simple. You do not let yourself be treated cruelly by someone who isn’t seeking *justice,* but exorcism.’
* ‘‘Tis but a wee Bimble'.
* To Eran, about Oengus: '‘No one will miss that one as much as this humble luchorpan,’ the Gancanagh said, like he was forcing his voice to steadiness.'
* To Eran, about Ash: ‘A bruised lad, within those walls. Take care of him, or perhaps, this man will.’
* To Eran: 'And there you are, a candle no longer, but a beacon. . . . I’ll not pit my dark against that flame . . . More than that, golden-eyes, we were close once, briefly. You hated me, and still gifted something all the same.’
* To Eran: ‘Look at you then, turning the world around you into goodness, even surrounded by dangers as you are. But you’re a hybrid, and you have a beast in you too. I’ll never forget it. No one should. Watch us, golden-eyes, beasts are about to save the world. The ones that eat the humans, the ones that feed on the lusts and loves of others, the ones that kill or commit other horrors. There’s no one else left who’ll try. . . . Just watch . . . Oengus Og was too good to do it. But the beasts? Ah, the beasts will always come out and flash their fangs just when you think the cage door is truly closed. . . . Love your beast'.
* To Ash: ‘The company has been kind,’ the Gancanagh said to him, almost tenderly. ‘I’ll selfishly make use of your staying here for as long as you’ll stay.’
* To Gwyn, about the Gancanagh: ‘He’s a sweetheart, that one,’ Ash said. ‘Terribly wicked, but that’s not so bad now, is it?’

## Trivia

* 'Gancanagh' is possibly not his only name.
* Oengus once offered to make the Gancanagh's love for Oengus (or perhaps his broken-heartedness) go away, but the Gancanagh was aghast and refused, because he felt the love 'made him feel worthy'.
* The Gancanagh is possibly one of the oldest cast members: while in Oengus' tower, which at the time also housed Augus, Gwyn, Ash, Fenwrel, Gulvi, Julvia, Eran, Mosk, and Oengus, the Gancanagh said, 'I'm one of the oldest in this tower'. He also noted that he remembered 'a time when no one revealed their true name. The Raven Prince is from that older guard, like I am. We remember a time when we didn’t simply announce ourselves, names, and all. And there was Oengus Og, demanding them from all of you.’
* It's possible that Eran is stronger at inner court status than the Gancanagh currently is.
* He likes smoking, and Augus noted the scent from the pipe often lingers on the clothes of his lovers.

## Folklore/Mythology

'The gancanagh (/ɡænˈkænə/) (from Irish *gean cánach* 'love talker') is a male fairy in Irish mythology that is known for seducing men and women.' Supposedly, he is like a leprechaun, and always appears with a dudeen in his jaw. Meeting him is unlucky.

'A leprechaun (Irish: *leipreachán/**luchorpán***) is a diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, classed by some as a type of solitary fairy. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. In later times, they have been depicted as shoe-makers who have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Leprechaun-like creatures rarely appear in Irish mythology and only became prominent in later folklore.

. . . The earliest known reference to the leprechaun appears in the medieval tale known as the *Echtra Fergus mac Léti* (*Adventure of Fergus son of Léti*). The text contains an episode in which Fergus mac Léti, King of Ulster, falls asleep on the beach and wakes to find himself being dragged into the sea by three *lúchorpáin*. He captures his abductors, who grant him three wishes in exchange for release.

. . . The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, whose principal occupation is making and cobbling shoes, and who enjoys practical jokes.

. . . It is stressed that the leprechaun, though some may call it fairy, is clearly to be distinguished from the *Aos Sí* (or the 'good people') of the fairy mounds (*sidhe*) and raths. Leprachaun being solitary is one distinguishing characteristic, but additionally, the leprachaun is thought to only engage in pranks on the level of mischief, and requiring special caution, but in contrast, the *Aos Sí* may carry out deeds more menacing to humans, e.g., the spiriting away of children.

This identification of leprechaun as a fairy has been consigned to popular notion by modern folklorist Diarmuid Ó Giolláin.

According to William Butler Yeats, the great wealth of these fairies comes from the "treasure-crocks, buried of old in war-time", which they have uncovered and appropriated. According to David Russell McAnally, the leprechaun is the son of an "evil spirit" and a "degenerate fairy" and is "not wholly good nor wholly evil".

. . . The leprechaun originally had a different appearance depending on where in Ireland he was found. Prior to the 20th century, it was generally held that the leprechaun wore red, not green.'
