7) Character Personal History: Barristan’s life started at Dawnrose Keep as the son of Lord Edmure the new Lord Paramount of the Mander and his mother Lady Sarah Caswell. Barristan remembers nothing of the violent beginnings of the rule of Thatcher and his two minions but remembers the thrill of seeing the court come. Being the eldest and a Dawnrose from the line of the Dawn Raider the young man took to the sword like a natural talent. As he grew older and was joined by brothers he began to see things how the really were. Edmure was always a cold man to his son. Barristan would find his father looking at him and when the child would turn and smile at his father Edmure’s face would go white and he would make some excuse to leave.
But this do very little troubled to the young boy as he grew close to his Uncle Ser Randal. The blond haired man was always smiling and smuggling Barristan and his brother’s sweets and toys to play with. At the age of 12 his life was changed. Barristan had gone up too see father and mother to ask to go and spend time on Oakenshield when he arrived there he found his parents arguing. As there words grew louder Barristan heard his mother yell that he never loved him and only married him for power. The laughter that came from Edmure’s mouth was harsh; he yelled back that he only did it for Lord Paramountship. From then on Barristan always looked at his parents differently.
In the year 595 when Barristan was Ten and Nine he was made Lord. This great event came with the death of his father. Edmure had taken his four boys out hunting. When they came across a buck it instead of fleeing or falling from a spear it charged and gouged Edmures side. The wound soon festered and the once great warrior withered. Before he died he called Barristan to him. First the two were silent then Edmure began to speak, “I’m sorry Barristan I was never a good father.” Soon father and son began crying. Barristan told Edmure that he had done his best and he did have a good childhood. Then Edmure was silent again. Then barely a whisper he began to talk again. “I wanted to hold you son but every time I looked at you I saw the children that fell to my blade. I did many horrible things in the Long Winter something’s that I and the Seven will never forgive me for.” Barristan then stood and hugged his father. As he held him Edmure died. As Barristan left his fathers chambers he walked into the great hall tears streamed down his face, “Lord Edmure Dawnrose, Lord Paramount of the Mander. Loyal Servant of King Daemon Targaryen, Rhaenys Targaryen before him and Selwyn Baratheon before her. Warrior of the Long Winter, Wielder of Truth….” Barristan almost looks like he’s not going to finish, “Is dead. I, Ser Barristan Dawnrose first son of Edmure Dawnrose am now Lord Barristan Dawnrose.”
8) Character Physical Description: Like all his family Barristan is a big man. At the age of 22 he stands at 6’1 with broad shoulders with very light brown hair. His eyes are green grey of his fathers but he has the soft features of his mother. Hands and body show many signs of long battle and training.
