Personality[]

Although it's common practice in Deverry for men to strike or beat women to "keep them in their place," Cinvan is uncomfortable with doing this because it reminds him of when his father used to beat his mother. Cinvan is quick to anger and nearly gets flogged due to this. Dovyn, his lord's younger son, speaks up for him and saves him from this fate. As a result, Cinvan is grateful to Dovyn and later attempts to return the favor. He is self-described as not much of a thinker, usually having his friend Garedd do the thinking for the both of them. Although he is loyal to his lord and his son, Cinvan has a very strong sense of honor.

In the Books[]

Cinvan is immediately recognizable to Nevyn as an incarnation of Gerraent because he is called the falcon and has a falcon engraved on his knife as his personal device.

Cinvan saves Aderyn when Melaudd attacks the elven camp after losing the battle of the Lake of the Leaping Trout.

Family and relationships[]

Cinvan serves as a warrior for Tieryn Melaudd of Cernmeton of the Bear clan.

He has a sister, Dewigga, who had a daughter by one of the Westfolk, Gaverenteriel. She gave the child up to the father to be raised amongst the Westfolk.

His father is a drunkard who used to beat his mother.
