Ellwood Cyrene is Eaglethorpe Buxton’s best friend. He is more or less right out of my old D&D campaign. He is rather overaffectionate toward Eaglethorpe, and the latter constantly has to remind himself of how manly they both are.  Of course, Ellwood has a big secret, and the discovery of that secret leads Eaglthorpe through a series of adventures.

Ellwood is the only character that is actually from the D&D game I ran for my children when they were growing up.  The world of Eaglethorpe is the world of that game, but Eaglethorpe and all the others, aside from Ellwood, were made up for the stories.
