Saint Clydwell was a general who took part in the Mendevian Crusades. Clydwell Keep is named after him.1 He was originally a follower of Aroden, but switched to Iomedae on Aroden's death.2 He was not a native of Mendev, having arrived from the south. When he arrived, the crusaders faced no end of problems, one being the besieging demon's ability to teleport into the heart of even the most secure fortress. To solve this deadly problem and give the crusaders a place of safety Clydwell recovered the Demonscope, which is housed in the keep that would later take his name.3 He died fighting a powerful fiend in the town of Gravehearst in what was then Sarkoris; his death while protecting the sacred barbarian artifact resulted in the awakening to full power of the Demonscope.2

The main temple to Iomedae in Kenabres, a crusader city in Mendev, is dedicated to Saint Clydwell; the Cathedral of Saint Clydwell is located in the Old Kenabres district.4
