	The first [[Squire\|squire]] of Gavadel's to be knighted was Sir Tebilir Fecnemathson a young male human from Camelot who survived numerous adventures in the far north and against the undead. His most significant contribution was keeping his Lord alive during a nasty incident with the Balrog of the [[Shadow Tower]]. Needless to say, the former master and former squire are pretty close and Gavadel can't help but worry when his young protegè gets sent by Arthur on errands and has had him assigned as a Captain in charge of Camelot's yeomen. Other Knights who survived Gavadel's tutorage include Sir Gymdenan Crofter of Camelot, noted for his brave stand by his master's side on the Field of the Blood Moon, which was motivation enough for Gavadel to take him as his squire, Sir Dizallo of Devonshire, now serving with his friend Gymdenan as in charge of the guard of the gate of the castle and Sir Horcimis, another of Lord Gavadel's squires, a human from Camelot. Sir Iseltor Scriptor has joined the group who've survived Gavadel's training, another human from Camelot, noted for his skill with the lyre as well as the sword. The first of the Lord Gavadel's female squires was Dame Crissa, which caused quite a stir amongst the higher ranks. A street kid from Losthaven, few thought she had what it took to rise through the ranks. Neither truth be told did she. However during a battle with a raiding party from Og, her master lay wounded on the field of battle, his amberite blood seeping from a mortal wound to his chest, she kept her head and healed him, allowing him to continue and win the fight. Rumors abounded that their relationship was more than proper for that of a Knight, but although she developed a crush on Gavadel, both maintain it never went beyond that.

Trained to fight almost immediately after she was weaned from her mother, she glares at the world with fierce savagery burning in her brown eyes. Another factor that makes her popular as a fighting beast is her ability to be trained to make use of spiked war gear, such as a spiked harness or a tail spike--a trait that takes years of training to fully develop. She looks about fourteen dimins long, three and a half dimins wide and seven dimins tall. She is in good shape. Her left hindpaw is marked by several scars. Her right hindpaw is marked by a scar. She sparkles faintly with brown light. She wears a diminutive suit of dark-red-scaled barding on her body.

Yehovah perhaps sent it to him when he came across a monster of a hound in battle against three gnomes. The hound had torn the throat out of one and was being set upon by the other two when the Prince of Amber joined it in the fight. And a lifelong friendship was born in battle. Already hardened and trained to the fight, Gwynned as Gavadel has named her has already proven her worth in battle and company on the road.
