Ruaidrí (died c. 879), also known as The Deer, was an Irish merchant and dockworker from Ulaidh and a member of the druidic cult known as the Children of Danu. Ruaidrí held the title of Lord.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Upon his acceptance into the Children of Danu, Ruaidrí believed and depended more on direct action within the cult rather than on the cult's religious practices and rituals. Ruaidrí considered that the spirits would be more impressed with his undertakings for the cult. Ruaidrí followed his own motto: "Get what you need by whatever means necessary and thank the spirits afterwards." Ruaidrí's actions and results were highly recognized by the Children of Danu and the cult gave him the responsibility of amassing the resources needed for their final plans.[1]
The cryptonym, The Deer, was found when the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir killed The Cursed alongside Ciara ingen Medba and recovered a clue from The Cursed's personal effects. The clue detailed that The Deer worked around the trading post, Ardmel.[2] From a note in Ardmel, it was revealed the identity of The Deer to be Ruaidrí and his location happened to be among the villagers of Inch Lough Neagh. Ruaidrí began extorting the villagers to fight against Flann Sinna in any way possible.[3]
Within a inner stronghold, Ruaidrí oversaw the men in the area. However, Ruaidrí was assassinated swiftly by Eivor. His personal effects were his amber shard and another clue involving the members, "The Seed" and "The Spider."[3]
