Gwenllian Gwalch'gaeaf, or Gwenno, is a fictional character in the Ultima computer game series. She first appears in Ultima II, re-appears in Ultima IV and after that throughout the entire series.

Gwenno is a woman with diverse talent. She's an entertainer, and wrote the lyrics for the famous song "Stones", which was composed by her husband Iolo. She's also a scholar and explorer.

Gwenno's character is based on Kathleen Jones, David R. Watson's wife.

In Ultima II, Gwenno and Iolo can be seen together in the town of New San Antonio, enclosed within walls reading "Iolo" and "Gwen".

In Ultima IV, Gwenno appears in Britain (though her name is spelled "Gweno" in the original game), entertaining children along with Iolo.

In Ultima V and Ultima VI, Gwenno is one of the potential party members.

Gwenno does not appear in Ultima VII: Black Gate, but she has left a letter for Iolo where she says she has left to explore the Serpent Isle.

Gwenno plays major role in Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle. She was first found dead, buried in Gwani burial caves in the far north. Once resurrected, she was discovered to be possessed by the Bane of Wantonness. Once cured of that, she continued her research in the Monk Isle, greatly helping the Avatar and the Companions.

Gwenno has returned to Britannia in Ultima IX; she lives near Britain with Iolo.
