Fenris

Frightening looking mountain man in his 40’s.

Fenris is one of the four High-Master Druids in Ireland, only answerable to the Grand Master, and he is renown for his magical power. He is the only druid in the area, which is very odd. His presence here is rumored, but unconfirmed. Fenris knows the Shapechange spell, but chooses not to use it. His purposes here are left undefined to allow you to hook this area into larger plots in the country. His older brother is the parish priest, Father Macgillycuddy, and their relationship is also left undefined.

Werewolves (Fenris’ witch groupies)
Tia (Nialls Kavanagh’s daughter) and Leah (Fenris’ live-in lover), both are attractive but somewhat wild-looking, nature-loving older teen girls.

These two have been recruited by Fenris as his lovers and trained as his witch assistants for his mysterious purposes. He has taught them how to take animal form as well. (This type of lycanthropy is neither a disease, nor demonic possession.) Tia is a secret disciple and no one has made the connection yet, as she is assumed to be just catting around like her loose sister. Leah lives with Fenris and acts as his agent in dealing with the people in the county.
