Maylgun Hir

Maylgun Hir was King of Gwuynedd.

Biography
Maylgun was born in 480 AD, in Degannwy. He grew up as a close friend to his father's ward Arthur.

He helped fight the Irish and drive their leaders out of Anglesey. In 504, Degannwy was attacked by the nearby sub-kingdom of Nant Conwy. Maylgun killed his uncle in combat, a stain that Gildas would later criticise him for, describing it as his first step into the descent into sin. He then led the revenge raid on Nant Conwy, where he met his cousin Gwallwyn for the first time.

After falling in love with her and having a child with her, he left Nant Conwy and came back to Gwuynedd, where he found out his father had fallen gravely ill with camp fever. That said it passed, and he recovered. Maylgun's son Run was born, and he went to see the child. He saw himself in the boy and accepted him as a legitimate bastard, bringing him back to Gwuynedd.

Nesta had been planting the seeds of doubt in his nephew's head for a long while. They finally acted during a dinner with the three of them. His nephew stabbed him in the chest, and he grabbed him and threw him onto the cauldron, which doused him in boiling soup, killing him. He then struggled against his wife, who managed to cut his eye open. The slave who had been serving them managed to beat Nesta's head in with a pot, and Maylgun finished her off with his dagger by planting it through her forehead.

He had his bards write a song celebrating his marriage to Sanan.

Appearance
In his youth Maylgun wore his blonde hair shoulder length, and his face clean-shaven or with thick stubble.

After losing his eye he often wore a leather eyepatch, though occasionally went without, keeping his eye shut. He kept his hair shorter, and grew thin stubble. He also got fatter, developing a paunch.

He earned a scar on his eye after/as he lost it, and later two aligned scars on his knees.
