History: The night Terrence Blackwood was born, a star fell from the sky, levelling cities and slaying thousands. Many whispered a birth on such a night was an ill omen, and indeed Terrence grew up in a period where the realm was wracked by near-constant war. At Raventree Hall, however, he was sheltered from the worst of it, and soon proved himself a studious and intelligent child.
At the age of 16, Terrence ascended to lordship of a beaten and battered house. House Blackwood's treasury was in shambles and its very name was stained by the traitorous Crow. Nonetheless, Terrence resolved to be the one to turn his house's misfortunes around.
To remedy his financial woes, Terrence married the daughter of a wealthy Lysian nobleman; her dowry was rumored to be enough to pay a king's ransom. His contacts with his in-laws allowed him to set up businesses of his own, and he soon proved himself an adept student of economics.
Erasing the stain on House Blackwood's honor has proven to be a slower and more difficult task. Nonetheless, Terrence has done his best to cultivate friendships with the other lords of the realm, particularly the Riverlords.
Physical Description: Tall, with the raven-black hair typical of house Blackwood, many have remarked that Terrence is the spitting image of his father. His eyes are a muddy brown and his features are handsome.
Reputation: Although Terrence is the son of a renowned swordsman and the grandson of a legendary general, it is the reputation of his uncle the Crow that he finds most difficult to live down. Those who know him, however, find him an affable and intelligent man.

Physical Description: Having just gone through a growth spurt, Lucas resembles the spear he wields; tall and skinny as a rail. He has the dark hair of House Blackwood, but where his father keeps his close cropped, Lucas' hair is a long and unruly mane. His eyes are a muddy brown and a chipped tooth lends an offbeat charm to his smile.
Reputation: Winterfell's staff swears the boy must be half-wildling, as he is prone to run off to the Wolfswood and disappear for days at a time. Has something of a mischievous streak, but a deep faith in the Old Gods.
