Brandel

Brandel is a surly red-haired man. He can control magic and has an affinity for fire. He yells at Morwen, her cats, Killer, Telemain, Cimorene, and Kazul. When they don't get in his laundry basket fast enough, he burns the ropes, but he does allow them to enter his tower, which used to belong to his sister, Rachel, who is not a fire-witch like the rest of his family. Because she was beautiful, many men came to rescue her from the one that had put her in the tower, but she left the tower after giving it to Brendel. He thought it was a good deal after Arona Michaelear Grinogion Vamist made fire-witches out to be improper, but he as since dealt with his sister's suitors, which makes him mad. He as a cat named Horatio, which Morwen's cat, Scorn, takes a liking to, but her other cat, Trouble, takes a disliking immediately. Brendel joins the search party after Kazul leaves for the Enchanted Forest.
