Galien


Son of Brien of the Gastine (Brian de la Gastine). His father was an evil man who had invaded the Blanquemore Valley and the Lac as Jumeles (Lake of Twins).

When his father was slain by Arthur’s Sir Meriadeuc, whose family owned the land, Galien pressed his father’s former conquests and besieged Meriadeuc’s family in the castle of Tygan. Gawaine eventually joined the defenders and killed Galien.
