History[]
Lone Wolf[]
Brangwen appears in the chapter "A Dim Memory", when Morag sets out to find a new den and comes across the dead body of Thunderheart. His name is not known at the time.
Shadow Wolf[]
In Shadow Wolf, Brangwen appears in the chapter "The Haze of Morag". When their son Brecco brings a bleeding hare into the den; which is against the rules, and runs off, Brangwen is about to get him when Morag says she will, she comes back with him and the parents give him a cuff on the ear.
Brecco, Brangwen's son.
Morag begins to talk to him, about Faolan and his birth. He begins to lick her face, tasting her oily tears. Morag says she would have told him, but the forgetting had worked. Brangwen replies until she found the scent of her son, as she could not finish her sentence. He calls Faolan "her son", rather than an "it" or a "malcadh". He also goes with Morag to the Sark of the Slough, and agrees to let Daraigh, Brangwen's (possible) sister, watch their three pups.
Watch Wolf[]
Brangwen makes his most important appearance of the series in the third book, Watch Wolf.
When two female wolves from the MacHeath clan named Airmead and Katria are heading toward the MacNamara clan, they meet Brangwen and his blind mate, Morag. Brangwen is very kind to the she-wolves, mainly talking to Katria, but making sure to include Airmead.
Also in the end of the novel, Brangwen waits in front of his and Morag's den for Faolan, who is being taken to see his first Milk Giver.
Frost Wolf[]
When Faolan, Dearlea, and Mhairie reach MacNamara territory, Faolan leads them to Morag's drumlyn. Mhairie states that it was too bad they didn't get to meet Brangwen, since he had left for the Blood Watch a few days earlier.
Spirit Wolf[]
Though never stated, he isn't mentioned again after Frost Wolf and presumably died in the earthquake at the beginning of Spirit Wolf.
Personality[]
Brangwen is a very kind wolf, especially to she-wolves. He is a loyal wolf to his mate, Morag.
Trivia[]
- "Brangwen" is Welsh for "dark and pure"
