Nestor of Gannes


Father of Sir Bleoberis de Ganis and brother of King Ban of BenoicBlanor (Blamore de Ganis) may have been another of his sons.

Nestor killed a giant named Ceron at the Straits of Sorelois, freeing Galehaut from Ceron’s prison. Galehaut built the Castle of Nestor in honor of this event.

Later, Nestor and Bleoberis encountered each other unrecognized, and Bleoberis accidentally killed his father in combat.
