FIRST

Name: Ser Oswyn Baratheon
Age: 37 at game's start. (17 and 27 at the prequel events)
Region: The Stormlands
Byname: None, as of the tourney

Reputation up to Event 1, the Wedding:

Ser Oswyn was born the eldest son and heir of Lord Sammael Baratheon. A dutiful son, he grew up idolizing his father's virtues rather than acknowledging his lecherous faults. He was a bright and active boy in his youth; often found hunting or hawking in the Stormland's lush woods, trekking its rocky peaks, riding upon its verdant plains, and diving from cliffs to swim in its azure but treacherous bay. Though a reminder of his father's few failing, Oswyn's bastard brother and milk-brother, Donal Storm, became his closest friend and companion in these adventures.

At the age of 13, Oswyn was sent to Blackhaven to squire for Lord Konrad Dondarrion. There he honed his active nature into the martial profession, earning his spurs at the age of 17 after participating in a handful of skirmishes involving minor border disputes with Dorne. He has returned to Storm's End in that last few months, eager to prove his worth to his father and the Stormlands.

Appearance: Oswyn possesses many physical features inherent in the Baratheon bloodline. He is tall and lean, powerfully built from years of training for knighthood in the Dornish Marches, with black hair and piercing blue eyes.

[Quenton Baratheon]

FIRST

Name: Quenton Baratheon
Age: 33 at game's start. (13 and 23 at the prequel events)
Region: The Stormlands

Reputation up to Event 1, the Wedding: The second son and second oldest child of Lord Baratheon, at age 13 Quenton has little by way of wide-spread reputation although he is known by his family and friends to be outgoing and intelligent, with a seldom-seen devious streak. He is known to be particularly poor in the training yard and would not appear to be cut out for a life of knighthood, although his family is actively seeking a suitable knight for him to squire for.

Appearance: Tall for his age, and skinny, and with an already long face extended slightly further by the fluffy beginnings of a beard, Quenton does not look the typical Baratheon. Indeed, he lacks much of the physical prowess of his relatives, instead possessing a wiry frame which looks incapable of even lifting a warhammer let alone swinging one. His hair is brown and frizzy, his cheeks pale and hollow. His viridian eyes are intelligent, inquisitive, and often contain a cheeky glimmer. He takes pride in his appearance and takes pains to ensure he is provided with the finest clothes available. Quenton has a keen sense of style and isn’t afraid to show it.

[Torrhen Stark]

FIRST:

Character Name: Torrhen Stark

Character Age: Twenty-Two

Character Nationality: Northman

Character Byname: The Red Wolf

Character Personal History: Torrhen was fostered in the south at a young age to curry favour with the Hightowers of Oldtown. He grew up alongside their children, learning of the virtues of knighthood and the chivalric ideal that came with them. He grew up wanting nothing more than to become a heroic and knightly individual, practicing in the training yard and on horseback as often as he could. He sent letters home to Winterfell as often as possible, but could not help but become a little estranged from northern culture. He became squire for Gwayne hightower for many years, even travelling across Westeros with him in the line of his duties. Eventually however, tragedy struck. His right hand was injured, and while he laughed off the wound in the beginning it soon festered and he lost the hand.

After that he became a bookish recluse, forgetting about the knightly skills he had once learnt that were now useless without his main hand. He studied medicine at the citadel, but when it became apparent that simple medicine could not return his hand to him, he turned to the higher mysteries and myths about eastern religions having powerful magics. He left into the east and discovered Rhllor, travelling all the free cities, Slaver's bay, Qarth and Asshai, eventually returning to Winterfell as a changed man with a strange faith.

Character Physical Description: While of a height with the other Stark men at about six feet, Torrhen Stark has a darker pigment to his long hair than the brown of his half-brothers Lord Eirek and Damin. His shoulders are narrow and his complexion is fair. He favours long sleeved clothing that can obscure his missing right hand from the common man.

Character Reputation: The youngest brother of Lord Eirek Stark was known to be developing as a capable knight until his sword hand was cut open, the wound infected and it had to be removed. After that, he faded from the public view, though people may be aware that he spent some time at the Citadel before venturing off into the east. Some say he made it as far as Asshai, but he is reluctant to speak of it if he did.


SECOND:

Character Name: Wyllem Manderly

Character Age: Fifty-Six

Character Nationality: Northman

Character Byname: -

Character Personal History: As a younger brother in the Manderly household, prospects were never all that bright for Wyllem. He spent a few years travelling the world as a hedge knight before finding a place in the Stark household guard, where he served thereafter.

Character Physical Description: A truly massive man with a huge gut and tree-trunks for arms and legs, Wyllem Manderly stands at six and a half feet - or he did, once. Age has started to bend his back, and where he used to be described as "Half fat, half muscle," the ratios are starting to get thrown off a little in a less favourable direction. He has a head of still rather thick blonde hair, and a great big bushy beard to hide his chins.

Character Reputation: A warrior and a knight. A very honourable individual who has served the Starks loyally for as long as he cares to remember. He would probably have become known far and wide as a 'True Knight', were he more handsome and less content to sit in one place and eat.


THIRD:

Character Name: Syrea

Character Age: Sixteen

Character Nationality: Lysene

Character Byname: -

Character Personal History: A young slave and temple dancer in Lys, she was bought and freed by a visiting Torrhen Stark and accompanied him on his journeys thereafter. Her natural agility and cultivated skills in subterfuge make her a decent agent.

Character Physical Description: Petite at five feet and five, with pale skin and curly light blonde hair.

Character Reputation: An exotic dancer brought back from the free cities. Unremarkable.

[Edric Stark]

First

Character Name: Edric Stark

Character Age: 23 (b. 677)

Character Personal History: Edric is the third son of Lord Stark and Joanna Reed. As a child, he was quiet, observant, and liked to keep to himself, yet got into fights when provoked. After managing to beat up a thieving boy so brutally that he was left crippled, Edric's lord father immediately doubled his hours in the training yard to keep the boy occupied and out of trouble.

Shortly before turning 13, Edric found a direwolf pup lost in the woods north of Winterfell and kept him. He named the wolf Havoc, at the time convinced that it'd strike fear in the hearts of his future enemies.

Character Physical Description: Edric is tall and lean, toned from endless hours in the training yard. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes with moss green flecks in them. He keeps his face clean shaven and likes to dress nicely for the occasion, perhaps not as modestly as your average Stark.

Character Reputation: Exceedingly handsome, proficient with a sword, often serious. The Stark with the direwolf.


Second

Character Name: Dacey Snow

Character Age: 17 (b. 683)

Character Personal History: Dacey is the bastard daughter of Lord Edrick Stark and Alyce Bolton. Not long after her birth, her mother passed away. Disliked at Dreadfort for being Stark-spawn, Dacey spent most her childhood enduring increasingly creative abuse at the hands of her Bolton relatives. On her fifteenth nameday, after being lured into the woods for a celebratory mind-game, Dacey managed to slash one of Lord Bolton's sons across the face with a dagger and stab another in the gut. She stole their horses and left them there to bleed out, only to later hear of their survival.

Following her escape from Dreadfort, she lived in various villages, hunting what she could and stealing just enough to stay alive. About six months later, the Boltons learned of her whereabouts and rode to the village. Dacey managed to escape just in time, riding for the only place that had the power to keep her safe from her deranged cousins; Winterfell.

Character Physical Description: Having been very scrawny for most her life, Dacey has gained some weight after being taken in by the Starks and looks a lot healthier now, even though she still remains slender. Somewhat toned from countless hours of handling bows and knives in the wilderness, Dacey is of medium height, has long blonde hair and pale blue eyes. Her face is very pretty and it is obvious that her parents were highborn, but there happens to be a distinctive small scar running down her left cheekbone. Although usually covered, her calves have many bite marks from being run down by dogs a few times in the past.

Character Reputation: Known in the North as the Stark bastard that fled the Boltons. The reports that she stabbed two of them are often mixed and generally denied by the Boltons.

[Prince Anders Martell]

1) Character Name: Prince Anders Martell

2) Character Age: 35

3) Character Nationality: Dorne


5) Character Skills:

Character Personal History: Born fourth to the reigning Prince and Princess Martell, Prince Anders grew up in a tough household, his eldest brother Zifar a violent and somewhat dim man. His sister Carmesi was his protector from a young age, but his conflicts with his brother continued all the way until Zifar’s death at the age of 19. While the rest of the family publicly mourned, Anders shed nary a tear. With his prospects much more favorable under the promise of his sister’s reign, Anders realized quickly he had better find ways to make himself useful.

Always bright and inquisitive, he took to travel, learning languages and building rapport with the great trading cities across the Narrow Sea. He fought pirates in the Stepstones to prevent the harassment of Dornish shipping in the troubled region and proved a competent and able logistician, known for using underhanded but effective tactics and perfectly willing to resort to naked terror. He learned from many great warriors but is not himself a particularly noted swordsman.

When his niece Salomae turned fifteen he took her on a voyage with him across the Narrow Sea to show her some of the wonders of the world, and the two are quite close. He married a wealthy woman from Tyrosh named Aurelia, who has given him two sons and a daughter. He is a good husband and father save for his occasional discrete trysts whilst traveling, but he has no known bastards.

Four years ago his sister, Princess Carmesi, made him her master of whisperers. He enjoys his work and has proven effective at maintaining the security of the ruling family from the myriad plots always about. He lives in a manse in Sunspear partially paid for by his wife’s gold.

7) Character Physical Description: Anders is of middle height and athletic, with the confident stride and swiftness of a born runner. He excels at many sports and is an interested gamesman. His grey-green eyes are always amused and it is only recently his night black hair has begun to sprout silver at the edges.

8) Character Reputation: Prince Anders is noted for his broad travels and wide variety of interests. In the pursuit of his duties he can be zealous, with a single-mindedness bordering on savagery. He is absolutely loyal to his sister and Dorne, and is even closer to his niece, whom he helped raise after her father’s death. Since assuming charge of the security of Dorne’s interior, he has shown an easy willingness to remove any threat he sees with words or violence as needed.

Character Nationality: Northerner

Character Byname:

Character Skills:

Character Personal History: (more later)
The youngest trueborn daughter of Lord Edrick Stark and his second wife, Elyssa had the usual childhood of wellborn northern girls with an excess of brothers. She learned to run before she should walk, and learned to ride shortly thereafter. Though accomplished as any girl should be with an embroidery needle, she is almost equally accomplished in hunting and archery.
Between letters from her brother Torrhen, the stories her mother tells of her distant friend in Dorne, and the books of tales read to her night after night by her nursemaid, Elyssa dreams of adventure and of seeing all the faraway places that she has only heard of in these stories.

Character Physical Description:
At 10yr pregame: She is tall for her age, with blue eyes that seem too large for her face. She has that stretched look of a child who has grown in height and whose body hasn't quite caught up yet, giving the impression of a gawky bird.

Character Reputation:
Known as a daughter and sister, she hasn't made a name for herself.
