King of the Fairies and the underworld. As Lord of war and death, he knows where all the great warriros fell, and he gathers their souls with his hooded riders, leading them through the underworld to rest and rebirth. In this persona, he is accompanied by baying hounds of red, white and black. Gwyn has many other faces: He is also king of the Plant Annwn, or subterranean fairies, and as Lord of the forests he has great concern for the fate of the earth.

Additional Information on Gwynn ap Nudd from Wikipedia

Information is unedited and unchecked

In Insular Brythonic mythology, Gwayn ap Nudd was the god of the Annwn|underworld. In an early Wales|Welsh poem he is also God of battle, the escort of dead souls to Annwn.

He abducted a maiden known as Creiddylad after she eloped with Gwythr ap Greidawl, Gwyns long-time rival. Gwynn and Gwythrs fight, which began on May Day, represented the contest between summer and winter.
