The Friar who comes to Darkenwald to oversee the ceremonies for the dead. It's Friar Dunley who questions Wulfgar's intentions for Aislinn, saying that he should either marry her or set her free so that Kerwick could marry her. Wulfgar denies both options, roaring out that the Friar should see to the consecrating of the dead and leave other matters alone. Dunley eventually performs the marriage ceremony of Wulfgar and Aislinn.
