Cawdor

Cawdor was a retainer to King Culen.

History

In 971, Cawdor slew "Verity" by stabbing her in the back. Before he could do the same to Mentor, the leader of the Wyvern Clan swiftly and brutally avenged his mate.

Appearances

Real World Background

Cawdor was named after the Thane of Cawdor in William Shakespeare's Macbeth. There were two thanes by that title in the play. The first (an off-stage character) sided with Duncan's enemies; his treachery was revealed, he was executed, and Duncan bestowed his title upon Macbeth. The Weird Sisters, when meeting Macbeth before he received the news, hailed him as "Thane of Cawdor" as well as "Thane of Glamis" (the title which he already bore) and "king hereafter".
