Brendann



Brendann was the leader of the Wolf Command of Monitor, a city on the Serpent Isle.

A warrior of Monitor, Brendann epitomized the ideology of the Wolf Command in preferring cunning and guile over brute strength. He maintained a strong rivalry with Caladin, the leader of the Bear Command, though the two men ultimately respected one another. Brendann considered himself the ultimate lady's man and had successfully wooed nearly all of the women of the city (although once "winning them" he would immediately lose interest). Brendann dreamed about becoming the Champion Knight of Monitor for the glory of the position, especially since he felt it would help him secure even more ladies into his bedroom.

Like Caladin, Brendann suspected a traitor may be responsible for selling military secrets to the Goblins, which resulted (among other things) in the attack on Fawn tower and the death of Astrid, the current Champion Knight. He refused to believe it was a member of the Wolves, however, and naturally suspected the Bear Command. His suspicion proved half right, when Simon (a Bear) was unveiled by the Avatar to be a Goblin spy. Brendann never imagined, however, that both Lord Marsten and Spektor of the Leopard Command were also traitors.

The Avatar soon came to Monitor and successfully became a Knight of the city in Brendann's own command. Not only that, but the Avatar soon uncovered the traitors and discovered the secret Valley of the Goblins. Brendann was impressed further when the Avatar succeeded in raiding the Valley, slaying the Goblin King Pomdirgun, and recovering the Helm of Monitor, becoming the Champion Knight of the City.

Like most of the people of Monitor, Templar was killed when the Bane of Wantonness (possessing the body of Dupre) conquered the city at the head of a huge army of Goblins and other ferocious monsters.
