Father Dewi the Waterman is the abbot of the monastery at Sugales. Dewi (in English, David) is from Henfynew (in Sugales), of a very religious family. Years ago, he went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land and returned with sacred relics, including the altar Christ used at the Last Supper and a piece of the True Cross. More importantly, he brought back a desire to establish the monastic tradition of the desert hermits into his homeland.
He instituted a system of rigorous monasticism based upon the Order of the Black Monks, heedless of the fact that a regimen acceptable in a desert climate is extreme in damp and chilly Wales. He was called “Waterman” because he forbade all alcoholic beverages to his order. His order has attracted many followers and has spread from its corner of Cambria to Ireland, Cumbria, Cornwall, and Brittany.
Personality
Intensely religious, often being called a fanatic, Dewi has long been a vocal critic of King Uther Pendragon's trust in Merlin, Archdruid of Britain. For years, Dewi has been a virtual political outcast due to his outspoken beliefs and unpopular opinions.
Important Deeds of Note
In 492, Father Dewi spoke at the treason trial of the Ursine Brotherhood in their defense. Father Dewi was instrumental in securing their freedom by declaring that Merlin, Archdruid of England, was a traitor to the crown and the son of the devil himself.
