In the Books[]

Daggerspell (643)[]

Blaen is the current lord of the Boar clan in 643. He is in love with Brangwen, the sister of his close friend Gerraent. When her engagement to Prince Galrion is broken off, Blaen decides to ask her to marry him, but chooses to wait until her period of mourning for her father ends. During this time, he becomes suspicious of Brangwen and Gerraent's odd behavior. When he visits their home, he discovers Brangwen is pregnant, and the only person who could be her father is her brother. Gerraent kills Blaen in the ensuing confrontation. Despite this, Gerraent lies down by Blaen's body, sobbing and holding his friend. Because of his tragic death, his soul's Wyrd becomes tied to Brangwen's and Gerraent's.

Family and relationships[]

Blaen is the son of Rodda. He has two brothers, Camlann and one unnamed, and a sister, Ysolla. He is very close with Gerraent, his sworn blood brother. He is in love with Gerraent's sister, Brangwen, and wishes to marry her. She agrees to marry him after her betrothal to Prince Galrion is broken off, but enters into an incestuous relationship with her brother. When Blaen finds out, he challenges Gerraent, who kills him.

Personality and appearance[]

Blaen is a confident and practical man. Although he is in love with Brangwen, he doesn't resent Galrion for being betrothed to her, and also swears not to spurn Brangwen for being set aside when Galrion plans to break their betrothal. He is described as a slender man with sand-colored hair and blue eyes.
