'''Gwaland''' (born January 11)<ref>[http://sky.livejournal.com/profile Gwaland's profile] on [[LiveJournal]]. Retrieved November 28, 2011</ref> is a [[furry]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Carrollton, Texas|Carrollton, Texas]], U.S.A.<ref>[http://steamcommunity.com/id/gwaland Gwaland's profile] on steamcommunity.com. Retrieved November 28, 2011</ref> with his mate [[Maxamillion Jag]]. His [[fursona]] is a black [[cat|housecat]] with blue stripes.

As of 2011, Gwaland is the systems administrator for [[Furry Fiesta]]. He is the self-titled "The Anti-Yiff" which indicates his claimed ability to turn even a room of [[fox]]es off merely by entering the room, and not a distaste for [[yiff]]ing itself.
