Profile

Cadfael (full name Cadfael ap Meilyr ap Dafydd) is a 12th century benedictine monk from the Abbey of Shrewsbury. For both the village and the abby he acts as the local herbalist and physician, allowing him to act as a go between with the common people and the church.

At age fifty-eight, he's of stocky built from his years as a sailor and soldier, and his years of travel and studying have given him an eye for detail with plants as well as people. Even after all these years, he still has his crusaders surcoat and sword.

He's derived mostly from the Cadfael tv series (with some details from the books) and enters the island at the end of the Episode A Morbid Taste for Bones, having returned from Wales with the believed bones of Saint Winifred.

He arrives wears:
woolen monk's habit
brown cloak and hood
woolen undergarments
sturdy walking boots

Carrying:
one knife in its holster
