Pre-Album
Gwen was raised alongside her older brother Gote. It is unclear what happened to her mother, but her father's health was sharply declining when she was ten, and he presumably died shortly afterwards, and neither of Gwen's parents were around by the time she was sixteen. Gwen and her family lived in a small individual homestead, that included a cellar.

When Gwen was ten, her dying father told Gote to teach her to shoot. Gote took her into the wastes around their house, and lent her a handgun to try shooting the rats. Gwen's first shot killed one, despite its speed, and she killed a further two in three more shots. Jealous of his sister's innate speed and talent, Gote took the gun back and prevented her from possessing one again.

By the time Gwen was sixteen, Gote was in charge of their household. He was controlling and abusive towards Gwen, particularly after drinking heavily. Gote led a small gang of other other homesteaders, but angered the powerful Meleagrant who intended to kill Gote. In order to prevent this, Gote planned to marry Gwen to the Meleagrant.

Gote invited his lieutenants to his house to drink and celebrate the deal with the Meleagrant. During this, Gwen hid in the cellar afraid of her brother. When Gote's lieutenants left, he tried to find Gwen in the cellar and convince her to marry the Meleagrant. However, heavily drunk, he tripped and his gun fell out of his holster. Gwen realised she would be happy to see both her brother and the Meleagrant dead, and seized the gun before Gote could, shooting him dead.

Gwen became a gunslinger, with the reputation as the fastest shot on Fort Galfridian. She met Arthur Pendragon and entered into a relationship with him, which then became a triad with the addition of Lancelot Pendragon. When Arthur proposed to take over Camelot by killing Sherriff Lavinia Stone and the rest of the Stone Clan, she supported him and travelled to Camelot with him and Lancelot.
