7) Character Personal History: Maurin Lanister is the first-born son of Osgood Lannister, younger brother of Trahel Lannister, and Sirela Doggett Lannister. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Maurin was coddled for the first 6 years of his life by his mother's constant attention. Unfortunately, life has a way of changing for the best or worse at times, and his mother Sirela passed away during child-birth with his younger sister, Selena.
Osgood Lannister was devastated by the loss of his wife, an arranged marriage that had grown into a deep and lasting love. Maurin, devastated by the loss of his beloved mother, overheard his father screaming at his new-born sister and he would never forget eight of those words-"I will make you regret killing your mother". Without thought for his own safety, Maurin dashed into his mother's deathbed and covered his sister's body with his own. Osgood severely beat Maurin that day, leaving lasting marks on his back from Osgood's strap. From that point forward, Maurin protected his younger sister, causing trouble to take the focus from his sister or intercepting his father during his tirades.
As a young man constantly beaten, he took to swords and competition to grow stronger. He befriended two young boys, Piers Bettley and Lyle Doggett and spent a good amount of time getting into trouble with them. His father, seeing his son's progress, thought best to enter him in a tournament hosted by the Starks. Wary of leaving his sister alone, he asked his best friends to keep an eye on her.
Cunning and driven to prove his prowess, he took his first two jousts with perfect passes. Before his next match, he seduced a young woman he thought to be a commoner and missed the remainder of his jousting while otherwise engaged. He placed well in the melee competition, but his thirst for reputation within tournament ranks was slaked by his new-found passion for women.
Upon returning home, he was happy to find his sister and two friends had survived without him, his father having been called off to Casterly Rock. It turns out his first foray into love, turned out to have a more permanent lock on his life as later that year he was forced to marry Yvonne Stark, daughter of Rynwulf (younger brother of Tarwin and Kerwin Stark). He had his first child a few months later, Phelan Lannister.
A few years later, his father met an untimely and unfortunate accident out hunting. Fortunately his second son, Marten, appeared later that same year and he made his first adult appearance at Casterly Rock with his two friends and his family. He has made more and more frequent journey's to Casterly Rock since this, spending time with Lyle and Piers, who have both taken up positions there. He currently has 4 children, Phelan (13), Marten (10), Yvonne (8), and Maurin (5).
8) Maurin is of average height and in excellent shape. His shoulder length, straight golden hair is well groomed except for a few strands that tend to fall in front of his eyes at times. He tends to dip his eyes and brush the hair away, looking up from beneath heavily-lidded light blue eyes causing women's hearts to flutter. He face is perfectly proportioned and is hard for women and some men to forget. He maintains a clean-shaven appearance.
9) Character Reputation: Maurin is known as a constant trouble-maker and seducer. The 'Troublesome Trio' of Maurin, Piers, and Lyle have a regular table at many of the taverns in the Lannister lands and enjoy a modest night-life.
