For here I would go even farther than Nerwen who said she'd hope Brinn didn't let Gwath continue because he's a mutineer; I'd say it would be a bit lousy victory indeed were it because special rules were applied because of one's role.~Nogrod

If
Gwath's a mutineer, whoever said he was given special considerations though?
El Capitain has already pointed out she doesn't like to have to mod-fire someone, but the rule was in place for a reason.
Mira and
Wilwa both had to leave for most likely not being able to participate not just for 1 or 2 days, but for the rest of the time. Maybe one of them's a wolf, maybe not...but to
Brinn it didn't seem like their role mattered. They would have been mod-fired eventually had they not shown up.
Had
Gwath not shown up, whether he's a mutineer or not, I think
Brinn would have done the same. But
Gwath did come back, and who knows whether he told
Brinn why he didn't vote for 3 days, or not? It seems the mod-fire is there to make sure of course that there is no 'sour' victory, but that doesn't mean based on other circumstances the mod-fire rule can not be bent.
Basically I'm saying
Gwath not being mod-fired should not 'prove' whether he is am mutineer or not, because from the sound of it
Mira was going to get the same treatment from the Captain. She was going to get the chance to 'come back,' because of an internet situation, and Gwath was probably getting the same courtesy.
Doesn't mean he's a mutineer, doesn't mean that he isn't, and doesn't mean
Brinn didn't want to mod-fire one of the mutineers. It looked to me (at least with both
Mira and
Gwath) she wouldn't want to, but if necessary would have mod-fired them.
Makes no difference now, because
Gwath is back, and I agree with
Mith...in this circumstance, an explanation for why the prolonged absense is due.
