Dower

 was the chef at Keep Norwit. He was a middle-aged man ''who, along with his wife, saw to all of the cooking at Keep Norwit. He liked bread making best.'' He taught Brianna Barter, magically disguised as Bellany Norwit, the lord's daughter, to make bread. Over the course of teaching Brianna and her working in his kitchen, he became a friend.

Brianna subsequently showed off her baking skills to make bread and pastry on several festive occasions. She also baked loads of biscuits when the Vargrend and Bristol Academies were snowed in.
