The priest of "Faunus", and the leader of the tribe living in the Grove of Eternal Whispers. Through unknown means had acquired the ability to force people to do what he wanted them to do only by using his voice, and had used this to basically enslave the entire grove to do his bidding and be his puppets. When The Flock arrived in search of the Heartwood Staff, he came into conflict with them as they managed to see through his visage, release Brónach from his bondage, and fought back against him.
As he saw his rule come to an end, he used his final moments to incinerate the party, several of his followers and finally himself, not wanting to give the party the satisfaction of defeating him.
His final words to Dandelion was "Protect them".
