Immediate Family:
Lady Asha Harlaw
Wife of Balor. Was betrothed to Meevis Humble but Balor approached her father (Lord Dickon Harlaw) and arranged the marriage without her consent. Was devastated but grew to love Balor despite that. Meevis was not so forgiving and launched an ill-fated rebellion a few years after the marriage which failed. He's been locked in the dungeons ever since and died there many years ago - at least as far as Balor knew.
> Skills, none
> Secrets, Still loves Meevis. Tried covertly to have him released from prison. Secretly managed this about 11 years ago. Had a night of wild passion with him before he left Pyke for his life and has been eking out a living in Flint's fingers ever since. Urri may be his son.

Urri Greyjoy
A kind, quiet, intelligent young man - aged 10. Which makes him woefully unsuitable for life on the Iron Islands. Gets seasick and is a coward. When pushed too far however, he flies into a surprising rage and seems a different person. May be mildly schizophrenic.
> Skills, none
> Secrets, Has a crush on Adalee Flowers. Is intimidated by Seth Greyjoy and feels guilty for his father's death, thinking himself responsible in some way

Is well-liked by the rest of the ironborn in Pyke castle for her forth-right and mischevious nature. Always assumed Sabastian would be the next leader after her dad and was content to merely be a ships captain. After Sabastian's death she is concerned about her own family's future.
> Skills, none
> Secrets, has snuck away from her mum to take part in Finger Dance games, much to the guard's amusement. Has kissed a stableboy called Petyr.

A list for main Ironborn NPCs so far revealed.

Has 5 salt-wives and 7 bastard children as well as the two boys from his current wife. Is feared for his fearsome rages when things go against him.

Lord Dickon Harlaw - Balor's ablest 'general' and the closest thing the Iron Islanders have to a military stragetist. A stern looking patrician who maintains a cool, level head at all times.
> Skills, Master at Battle. Noteworthy with the Blade
> Secrets, Killed his own brother to gain his seat. Did this by ambushing his ship out to sea. No-one else is aware of this bar his crew who are all loyal to him. Attached himself to Balor as he saw similar traits to himself. Thinks Lord Drumm is an animal and dislikes him though is wise enough to hide it.

Lord Garrick Botley - something of a laughing stock in the ironborn, only House Codd are more despised as useless. One of the few ironborn to openly worship the seven and have 'Sers' amongst his men. Lord Balor does not trust him and has him watched often.
> Skills, Noteworthy Naval Warfare, Noteworthy with the Blade
> Secrets, Has been plotting for years to have Seth Greyjoy and his daughter (Seth's mother) returned to the Iron Islands. With Balor's death, he now see's his chance for power.

> Skills, Expert at Ravenry
> Secrets, Likes young boys more than is healthy

Lood Goodbrother & Lord Sparr - a double act so far these two, so may keep that going (oh great rumour god, feel free to make up some innenduo as to their sexual preference for each other) but not much else known about them yet. Not very bloodthirsty as ironborn go, but loyal - and fabulous dressers
> Skills, Noteworthy in Siege Warfare, much to everyone's surprise.
> Secrets, Homosexual lovers. Are both terrified of this being revealed.

Lord Theon Orkmont (The Devilblade)
A reclusive man who seems obsessive about becoming the best swordsman in the world. Has tried bizarre practices and rituals to gain additional "strength" and is fascinated by the occult
> Skills, Expert in the Sword
> Secrets, Covets Valryian steel. Is too scared to take Lord Drumm's and Lord Harlaw's is too well guarded. Does not mix well with other ironborn who find him "odd". Has visited Asshai & Qarth to see if their supernatural abilities can help him in his 'quest'.
