Gunhilda is the acquisitions officer for the Wayshepherds Guild in Fenwatch. She oversees the Guildhall’s armory and storage facilities and, when the Guild was functioning, ran a brisk trade in goods useful to merchants and travelers embarking on long journeys.

When Fenwatch fell victim to the horrors of the spreading blight, Gunhilda remained at the Guild while the town was cut off from the outside world. To cope with the horrors she had seen and the horrible conditions within the Guildhall-turned-triage, she turned to drinking heavily.
