Brygga Scissortongue is a member of the influential Garhound family, and guildmaster of the Cloth and Leatherworkers Guild.
She is currently Mayor of Pavis City Council. She is regarded as the leader of the 'Frees', the anti-Lunar faction on the council. They complain about the increases in taxes under the Lunars to support the garrison, the shortage of property because of the new arrivals and the Lunar carpet-baggers that are flooding in and turning law-abiding citizens off their land and out of their houses.
