Brother Trew

Brother Trew is a monk within the church that surrounds King Alfred's court, a quiet presence among the clerics who shape the kingdom's politics as much as its faith. He observes more than he preaches, moving through the corridors of power with the watchfulness of a man who has learned what survival among the devout requires.

Peter McDonald brings a dry, watchful stillness to a role that could easily be background dressing, giving Trew the air of someone quietly cataloguing everyone else's hypocrisy. In a show crowded with warriors and kings, he's a reminder that the church's men play their own long, careful game.
