Gwendolyn was the Inner Circle member for Clan Brujah first mentioned in the Dark Sovereigns expansion set of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle.
Gwendolyn history was described in duelist #7:
"Gwendolyn was bom Gwendolyn St. Tremaine during what mortals call the Dark Ages, the sixth century A.D., in what is now known as France. Gwendolyn’s life was one of rebellion against the strict caste society she grew up in. She sought education and liberation for all peo¬ ple when a woman’s place was one of igno¬ rance and servitude. The local serfdom at first thought the girl was insane or possessed, but eventually some started to see the wisdom in her words. Eventually, her rebellious nature got the best of her, when the local Baron called her a heretic and a witch; the Barons minions burned her at the stake. At least the Baron thought Gwendolyn was burned at the stake. The night before she was to be put to the torch, she was visit¬ ed by a woman with a powerful presence. The woman told Gwendolyn that her des¬ tiny was not to be burned at the stake, but to put the oppressors of freedom to their own stakes. Gwendolyn agreed with everything this woman stood for, but she could not help feel the draw of servitude the woman exuded. She revealed herself as Triole, the eldest of a vampiric clan known as the Brujah; she then took her and made Gwendolyn her childe. Gwendolyn looks back on that evening as the end of her personal freedom. She sees her Embrace as resigning herself to every¬ thing she has always stood against. Of all the Inner Circle, Gwendolyn is the most vehement in protecting the rights of Domain as they apply to all vampires. She secretly works against many of the mandates she views as unfair that the Inner Circle hands down to the Camarilla masses. She longs for the day when Triole rises so that she can take her revenge upon he...even if it marks Gehenna."
