Age: 24 (Born 236 AL) Marital Status: Unmarried Children: None Traits:
+2 Duel - As a scion of the famed warrior Orys Baratheon, it is only natural that Steffon possesses an aptitude for swordplay. +2 Battles - Steffon shows a keen interest in strategy, one that is yet to be tempered by experience on the battlefield. +2 Survival - It seems that fortune tends to smile on the young Baratheon, sparing him on the Stepstones to fight another day.
Steffon Baratheon, born to Lord Ormund Baratheon and Princess Rhaelle Targaryen, is the nephew of the current reigning king, Jaehaerys II. Tall and broad shouldered, with dark hair and sea blue eyes, Steffon epitomises the typical traits of the House Baratheon, as well as possessing the paler skin and sharper facial features of the Targaryens. Carrying himself with an eminent lordliness and authority, as befits the heir of Storm's End, Steffon's patient and warm demeanour masks a wroth that is fearsome when provoked. He has a strong sense of duty, honour, and loyalty, and is a dependable ally, who does not shy away from close combat (although he does not relish it). Steffon's true passions lie in hunting and falconing, as well as taking a keen interest in military stratagems.
Responsibility has been thrust upon the young Baratheon's shoulders in the most dire of circumstances. Accompanying his father on what was supposed to be a victorious campaign against the Blackfyre usurper, the pitched battle against the experienced warlord quickly turned to disaster. Ormund Baratheon was among those to be cut down by Maelys himself, with the army evaporating soon after. While Steffon fought with ferocity and valour, spurred on by his father's death, he was unfortunately captured by the usurper's troops, and now accompanies his hated enemy towards his ancestral home of Storm's End. In his absence, the castle is being watched over by the castellan, Harbert Baratheon.
Harbert Baratheon
Age: 50 (born 210 AL) Marital Status: Unmarried Children: None known Traits: + 3 Battles - an able tactician, Harbert has honed his ability serving House Baratheon in numerous conflicts. + 2 Scout - Harbert is well suited to light reconaissance missions and cavalry raids, being an avid horseman in his youth. + 3 Joust - Years riding horses into war makes a man adept at leading cavalry. Skill in a tournemant is merely a side benefit. + 3 Survival - A wily old stag, Harbert prioritises the survival of the House Baratheon over all. + 1 Duel - A competent, if uninspiring, duelist.
Harbert Baratheon, uncle of the current reigning lord, Steffon Baratheon, has been a loyal and capable servant of his family for his entire life. He is entirely devoted to his duty towards his nephew, having never taken a wife. In his youth, he was a wilder man, serving as a sword-for-hire, as well as participating in various regional tourneys. Since then, he has served the House Baratheon in various capacities, as steward, master of arms and castellan of Storm's End when the lord is absent.

Lord Harmund Lefford, Lord of Goldentooth - Deceased
Lord Harmund Lefford, Lord of Golden Tooth
Harmund Lefford, Lord of Golden Tooth, Bannerman of House Lannister
Harmund Lefford was never a great swordsman: even as a young man his skills lay with thinking rather than in his sword arm. While the other young noblemen sparred with swords and impressed the ladies with feats of skill, Harmund would read books. Books of strategy, commerce, politics, fiction, family history: if it was written down he would read it. The result was a man who was far more terrifying when in charge of soldiers than when amongst them, a man far more skilled at administrating than at sword fighting, and a man far more educated than most. His mind, not his sword arm, is the most dangerous part of this man. As Lord of Golden Tooth, he keeps the precious gold mines running and maintains his Estate with care, always ensuring that no enemy of the Westerlands passes along his roads unopposed.
Harmund's married life has been one of difficulty. His first wife was barren and sickly, but lived for some time. His second wife died in childbirth delivering Harmund his third child, who was born some time after the first two, and only daughter. Some whisper that it was not the wives, but Harmund, that caused the problems siring children.
Harmund was born in 190AC, and remembers many important events in Westerosi history. As a 6 year old he retains vague memories of the earliest Blackfyre rebellions and remembers vividly the horrors of the Great Spring Sickness in 209AC, claiming many lives including that of Lord Damon Lannister and the tense times of the Great Council in 233AC.
Age: Dead
Rank: Head of House Lefford, Lord of Golden Tooth
Total Trait Points: 12
Military Mind (Field Battles +3): Harmund has a keen understanding of the military sciences and is a capable commander of troops in any engagement. Administrator (Wealth +3 [15%]): Harmund takes a personal interest in ensuring the local gold mines run efficiently, and uses his education to both improve efficiency or to seek out those who can. Cautious (Survival +3): Harmund is no warrior and he knows it. While some would call him a coward, Harmund is not foolhardy with his life. Organiser (Logistician +3 [15%]): Harmund knows how to move large armies quickly and effectively across all terrain types.
Auxes:
Daughter: Lady Kyra Lefford, age 25 (born to Harmund age 53).
Kyra is the youngest of Harmund's children, being younger than her next older brother by a staggering twenty one years. Both her nephews are older than she, and her niece only a year younger. Though she is Harmund's daughter, she has in practice been raised with her oldest brother's three children who see her more as a sister than an aunt.
Lord Raymar Lefford, Lord of Goldentooth
Raymar Lefford
Raymar Lefford, Heir of Golden Tooth
Raymar Lefford is quite the opposite of his father: much more interested in fighting in a battle than controlling it from afar. Like many young noblemen, he took great pride in being a skilled swordsman and spent a lot of time practicing his skill-at-arms. Mentally he is cruel and cunning, willing to kill to dispose of inconveniences and capable of calculated cruelty to realise his objectives. With his father ageing and becoming less able to actively rule, Raymar is more involved in the day to day running of House Lefford's affairs.
At the Battle of the Stepstones, Raymar fought among the Westerlands contingent but was left behind in the rout: he, like most of the Knights of the Westerlands, took part in the charge that broke through to the Targaryen centre, but was unhorsed early in the fight as his horse was shot from under him, and as such was not present when the charge broke the enemy line. As the rest of the army retreated from the field, the isolated Westerlander contingent was slaughtered mercilessly. Wounded and exhausted, Raymar was found alive and, appearing a Knight and thus a valuable hostage, was taken prisoner by Maelys' army.
Age: 52
Rank: Heir to Golden Tooth
Marital Status: Married to a Sarsfield woman.
Total Trait Points: 12 Swordsman (+10 Duels [3 traits, 1 retinue, 4 weapon, 2 armour): Raymar spends a lot of time sparring with friends and trainers, and has acquired some skill with a sword as a result. Agile (+10 Survival [3 traits, 1 retinue, 2 weapon, 4 armour]): Spending a lot of time sparring makes one as good at dodging sword blows as in dealing them. Raymar is quick on his feet and is able to dodge attacks aimed at him. Military Mind (+4 Field battles [3 traits, 1 retinue]): Raymar has an understanding of battle tactics and leadership. Popular (+5 Charisma [3 traits, 1 fruits, 1 retinue]): Raymar is a popular figure among the men he leads, providing him with a loyal following. Administrator (+3 Wealth [retinue]): Raymar has employed a capable administrator to run Goldentooth's finances.
Equipment: Partial Plate, Sword & Shield Weapon
Family of Raymar:
Wife: Lady Alyce of Sarsfield (Age 48)
Son: Donnel Lefford (main character)
Son: Ryon Lefford (main character)
Daughter: Serra Lefford (age 27, born to Raymar at 25) - Wed to Tywin Lannister
Major Auxes
Myles Pendric
A longtime friend of Raymar's, Myles is a cruel man and the third son of one of the Lefford vassal houses. As a child he would break the wings of birds before throwing them to cats, push children out of trees, and so on. As an adult, this only worsened, with heavy partaking of drink and whores, regularly beating them, he was even accused of rape and was saved from the noose when the girl refused to testify against him, probably through threats.
He survived the Battle of the Stepstones and retreated with the army, being one of the lucky few who escaped the massacre of the Westerlander forces.
Ser Donnel Lefford, Lord Commander of the Blackguard and Heir to Goldentooth
Donnel Lefford
Donnel, eldest son of Raymar, stands to inherit Goldentooth one day. Donnel is much like his father in terms of capability for cruelty, cunning and ambition, but he is also friendlier than his father ever was. 5 years older than his brother, the two are in the odd position of being roughly of age with their Aunt Kyra, born to Donnel's grandfather Harmund at a similar time to Raymar's own children.
Donnel was among the troops at the Battle of the Stepstones, but was seconded to the Heavy Cavalry of the Reserve. As such, he was not with the Westerlands contingent that was annihilated, instead fighting the Blackfyre Heavy Cavalry that attacked Lord Baratheon's position. He joined the retreat from the field after Lord Baratheon was slain.
Age: 35
Rank: Eldest son of Raymar Lefford, second in line to Golden Tooth
Marital Status: Unmarried
Traits: 9
Ryon is the second son of Raymar Lefford and, as such, does not stand to inherit anything. He is much like his father, having grown up to become a calculating man capable of cruelty if necessary, but living with his brother has also allowed him to develop better social skills than his father possesses.
He fought at the Stepstones along with the rest of the Western troops, joining his brother in the reserve and thus escaping the worst of the defeat.
With Donnel having gone missing since the events of the Tourney of Castamere, Ryon has assumed the position of heir presumptive, until Donnel's whereabouts become known.
Age: 30
Rank: Second son of Lord Raymar Lefford
Traits: 8
Auxes:
- Lady Falia Kenning, Ryon's wife
--- Olenna Lefford, age 9 (born to Ryon at age 21)
--- Gerion Lefford, age 8, gifted (born to Ryon at age 22)
--- Erena Lefford, age 5 (born to Ryon at age 25)
--- Harmund Lefford, age 3 (born to Ryon at age 27)
Ser Godric Lefford
Godric Lefford
Godric Lefford, son of Harmund Lefford
Godric Lefford is the second son of Harmund Lefford, 2 years younger than Raymar. Like Raymar he is more fond of fighting in battles than directing them, and as the second son he is left more to his own devices: Raymar is expected to rise to the rank of Lord of Golden Tooth and is treated as such, Godric is not. He enjoys travel, and can often appear in unlikely places in the world as a result.
A quiet and sometimes withdrawn man, he had an early love (with whom he fathered a child) but she was a mere commoner, unfit to wed a scion of House Lefford. Still, Godric fought his father, and even attempted to elope with his would-be bride, only to find her dead when he arrived to take her away. He suspects his plot was discovered, and the girl was poisoned. He is distrustful of his family on these grounds and has refused to take a wife, perhaps to spite his father. His bastard son remained in the care of the girl's relatives, Godric funneling them money gained illicitly from his role in dealing with some of the Lefford accounts and ensuring the boy was taught things like riding, swordsmanship and the ways of the world. Edric Hill knows his father, and Lord Lefford knew of the relationship, but tolerated it for as long as Godric keeps it a quiet, unofficial one. With Harmund dead and Godric's brother now Lord, he has been more assertive in bringing Edric into the family, something Raymar has tolerated to an extent.
He was not in the Stepstones campaign, having been rendered ineligible for service due to a temporary horse riding injury.
Age: 50
Rank: Son of Harmund Lefford
Marital Status: Unmarried. He has refused all suitors.
Trait Points: 12
Swordsman (+3 Duels): Godric spends a lot of time sparring with friends and trainers, and has acquired some skill with a sword as a result. Agile (+3 Survival): Spending a lot of time sparring makes one as good at dodging sword blows as in dealing them. Godric is quick on his feet and is able to dodge attacks aimed at him. Mathematics (+3 Income [15%]): Godric has learned the ways of working with coin due to his good grasp of mathematics, something he inherited from his father. Second in Command (+3 Logistician): Godric is more and more having to assist in the military affairs of Goldentooth now that Harmund has passed on. His most common job is that of logistics.
Edric Hill
Edric Hill
Edric Hill, bastard son of Godric Lefford
Born of an affair between Godric Lefford and a smallfolk mother who died when he was very young, Edric spent much of his life raised by his aunt and uncle, being visited semi-regularly by his father. The relationship was forbidden by Godric's father Harmund, but Godric was able to see his son often enough and was able to channel money to the boy's adoptive family to ensure they could keep him. In addition, Godric quietly arranged for lessons in horse riding, swordsmanship, reading and writing, and martial affairs.
Edric thus grew up learning much of what a squire might learn, but never having the opportunity to be knighted himself. As the Tourney of Lannisport was announced, Godric had fierce arguments with his now Lordly brother Raymar, attempting to use the Tourney to bring Edric closer to the family in a more official capacity. Relenting at last, Raymar agreed, but Edric found himself outmatched by far better armed and more experienced foes on the day, being able only to push his way through the qualifying rounds to reach those matches watched by high nobles and the King himself before being knocked out in the early stages there.
With what prize money he'd acquired working up to that stage, plus some funds Godric had been able to save for him, Edric declared he wished to follow the martial lifestyle fully. Lord Raymar would not have him in the Lefford household guard or men at arms, so he recruited a small band of sellswords and set out into the world, looking to see whether he might find patronage elsewhere in the world, away from home and from the family that now only barely tolerated him, but still did not quite accept him.
Age: 27
Traits: 7
Martial status: Unmarried
Sword training (+2 Duels): Edric was taught swordplay by a retired knight living in his village, paid for via the funds Godric was able to channel towards Edric's education. Hardy (+2 Survival): Sword training and a life working the family fields has made Edric hardy and capable of defending himself. Lived on the land (+1 Logistician): Edric knows a lot about fields, forests and rivers, having grown up working them. Good eyes (+1 Scout): A keen eye for the land makes Edric somewhat skilled at scouting for larger forces. Martial instruction (+1 Battles): Educated by a retired Knight, Edric knows something of battles and how they're fought.
House Tyrell
Mace Tyrell
Lord Paramount Mace Tyrell
Mace Tyrell, Lord Paramount of the Reach
Mace Tyrell is the eldest male of House Tyrell, after his father and two brothers died in the War of Ninepenny Kings and the subsequent rebellions. Those wars broke the back of the Reach, with the victorious King Aerys II forcing Mace into warding with House Caron in the Stormlands while the Reach was run by a Castellan. In the meantime the western Reach was sundered from Highgarden's authority: the Hightowers, Florents, Redwynes and the families of the Shield Isles were detached from their oaths to Highgarden until Mace came of age.
The boy is bitter and angry at his fate, something he had no true control over: his elders took the Reach into unsuccessful war after unsuccessful war. The punishment fell on him when those cowards fled rather than face the consequences of their folly.
One day he will return to the Reach. One day he will set right the many wrongs inflicted upon him, by those within and outwith the Reach.
Age: 22
Rank: Lord of Highgarden, Lord Paramount of the Reach
Traits: 6 Swordsman (+10 Duel [+1 traits, +1 retinue, +4 Weapon, +4 Armour]): Like all noblemen, Mace is taught swordplay. Nimble (+8 Survival [+1 traits, +1 retinue, +4 Weapon, +2 Armour]): Being trained in duelling allows Mace to both stay fit and learn how to protect himself. Wealthy (+4 Wealth [+1 traits, +3 retinue]): The Reach is vast and lucrative. The Tyrells know how to leverage this. Articulate (+4 Charisma [+1 traits, +1 fruits, +1 regional bonus, +1 retinue]): Though only a boy, Mace is well educated and confident. Rider (+1 Joust [regional bonus]): Mace is familiar with horse riding and the use of a lance. Military Advisor (+3 Battles [+2 traits, +1 retinue]): Mace is advised by a seasoned commander of soldiers. Military Advisor (+1 Rearguard [retinue]): Mace is advised by a seasoned commander of soldiers.
Equipment: Partial Plate, Bastard Sword
Auxes:
- Olenna Redwyne, Mace's mother. Age 49. At Highgarden.
- Jenna Tyrell, Mace's sister. Age 19. At Highgarden.
- Lady Cimbre Footly, Mace's wife
--- Roslin Tyrell, age 5 (born to Mace aged 17)
--- Moryn Tyrell, age 4 (born to Mace aged 18)
--- Falia Tyell, age 3 (born to Mace aged 19)
Ser Geralt Gardson
Ser Geralt Gardson
Ser Geralt Gardson, Castellan of Tumbleton
Ser Geralt is from one of the many minor knightly Houses sworn to House Tyrell: House Gardson rule over a collection of villages from a modest keep upriver from the city, and have a long history of supplying a knight and some men at arms for their masters during times of war. Ser Geralt was chosen from the many Knightly Houses that Mace Tyrell had to pick from due to his astute stewardship of his lands, where Ser Geralt has overseen construction in his villages and improvements to the fields to improve crop yield and economic activity, making his fief among the wealthiest of those around the city. It was for this reason Mace sent him to Tumbleton instead of a more martially-minded vassal.
Ser Geralt has a family, with a wife from one of the other Knightly Houses, two sons, and three daughters, two of whom have been married away already. His eldest son is a Knight in his own right while his second son is squiring with a Knight serving in the Order of the Rose.
Age: 53
Traits: 12
Fiscally Minded (+3 Wealth): Ser Geralt is among the most economically minded of House Tyrell's minor vassals, making him the ideal choice to serve as Tumbleton's Castellan. Martial (+3 Duels): As a veteran knight, Ser Geralt is more than capable of defending himself in combat. Battle hardened (+3 Survival): Ser Geralt has fought in all of the Reach's recent campaigns, and has emerged alive from several major battles as a result. Knightly (+1 Charisma): Ser Geralt carries himself well, having received an education in culture and chivalry. Campaigner (+1 Logistician): The art of logistics is an important one, which Ser Geralt learned well while on the many campaigns for the Reach. Outrider (+1 Scout): Ser Geralt has been in command of the pickets and outriders in previous campaigns, giving him some appreciation of their use.
Equipment: None.
Auxes:
- Lady Zia Manders
--- Ser Tanton Gardson (adult)
--- Lady Gwyneth Gardson (adult, wed to a minor Knightly House near Highgarden)
--- Lady Ella Gardson (adult, wed to a minor Knightly House near Highgarden)
--- Uthor Gardson (squiring to a Knight in the Order of the Rose)
--- Mia Gardson (still lives with Geralt and Zia)

House Waynwood of Ironoaks is a noble house whose seat is Ironoaks in the Vale. They rule the Highlordship of Eastweald and are one of the great noble families sworn to House Arryn. The Waynwoods are known for their insistence on ceremony.
Lord Yohn Waynwood born in 199 A.L.
Yohn is the current Lord of Ironoaks and has been for thirty years. He had three sons and a daughter, but all the boys died over the years. The eldest fell of his horse and hit his head, the middle one was lost at sea and the youngest hung himself when his lover left him. Yohn's wife died soon after his youngest passed away. Only him and his daugher and heir, Gwynesse, remain at Ironoaks.
Lady Gwynesse Waynwood born in 233 A.L.
The only Waynwood child that survived. She is her father's heir and will rule Ironoaks after his death.
Lord Hoster Tully
Age: 40
Bio: Lord Paramount of the Riverlands, older brother of Brynden "Blackfish" Tully, Head of House Tully. He pledged his forces to the King for the upset at the Stepstones when he suddenly and mysteriously retreated his forces. Some say he was injured in battle, some say he laughed and mocked the Kings troops before leading his troops away, others say he never even made it to the front. Still, he now sits at Riverrun and has not been seen by any but family and close friends.
Brynden Tully AKA The Blackfish
Age: 35
Bio: Stern younger brother of Hoster, he is known as the warrior of the two. He took a troop of men out with the Baratheons and fought next to Ormond before his fall. Brynden was cornered nigh the end of the battle and slipped out between enemy forces.
Tully Tikes
Criston Tully, Axel Tully, Myles Tully, Warrick Tully as children
Inseparable at a young age, the four Tully Tikes did everything together. Criston Tully is the youngest, a gentle boy with a heart of gold, at a young age many thought he would never develop into a serviceable soldier. Myles and Axel are twins with a near telepathic understanding of each other. Then there is Warrick. He was very protective of his younger brothers. He was likened to Brynden more often than not, leading to Hoster holding a begrudging dislike for his own son.
Teen Tully's
Myles, Axel, Warrick, Criston
Myles Tully
Age: 15
Bio: The frequently smiling twin trout, he is an enforcer for his brother Warrick. He is rarely seen without his twin Axel, but is polar opposite of demeanor. He is the favorite child of Hoster, and he epitomizes the Tully name. Question arises in some circles as to the stability of the family because of this, but those that know Myles and Warrick know better. He was with his father during the Stepstones.
Axel Tully
Age: 15
Bio: The brazen Twin trout, he is short in chatter and long of sword. Behind closed doors he smiles with his family and his compassion is well known but that is not a face he dons in public. He was with his father during the Stepstones
Warrick Tully
Age: 17
Bio: The oldest Tully Teen and heir to Riverrun. He is well known and has a calm demeanor. Growing up responsible for his brothers, he knows the burden of responsibility. His father never treated him as a child nor his heir so he pretends to have an air of indifference toward him. He was with his father during the Stepstones and knows the truth of the retreat.
Criston Tully
Age: 13
Bio: As he grew, he grew taller than most. He seemed to always look older than his age and though he still has child like qualities, his uncle turned him into a sponge for a beating. They say that Brynden Tully teared every time he struck the boy but struck him all the same and many times. He stayed at Riverrun during the Stepstones, despite his objections and requests to fight alongside Brynden.

House Hightower is one of the most ancient noble families in all of Westeros, descending from the First Men who ruled the area that would become the city of Oldtown as petty Kings during the Dawn of Days. When the Andals invaded Westeros, the Hightowers shrewdly allied with the newcomers, allowing them to keep their influence, strength and power in what would become the Kingdom of the Reach. As the years passed, the Hightower’s influence and power grew and they slowly became one of the most powerful Houses in all of Westeros. When the Targaryens invaded and the Kingdom of the Reach was destroyed beneath the dragon’s flame, the Hightowers were nowhere to be seen, having refused to join the battle agains the Targaryens. They wisely held their forces out of the war, behind the mighty walls of Oldtown and under the guidance of the voice of the Seven, the High Septon himself, the Hightowers opened the gates of their city to Aegon the Conqueror and spared their city from a gruesome fate, allowing to Oldtown to continue to grow and thrive.
The members of House Hightower rule over the second largest city in all of Westeros and one of its largest and wealthiest of ports, the city of Oldtown. The Hightowers are one of the wealthiest families in all of Westeros, second only to the Lord Paramount of the land of gold, the Lannisters. Members of this House are known for their loyalty and stalwartness as well as their caution and temperance. The Hightowers are devout worshippers of Faith of the Seven and have built many Great Septs in their city to show their dedication to the Seven Faiths. The Hightowers are the patrons of the great Citadel, home of wise and learned Maesters. The current Lord of the House is Lord Godric Hightower.

When news of arrived of the King's intent to send an expedition to crush the supposedly Pretender Blackfyres who had recently seized the Stepstones as their own, Lord Godric maintained a position of neutrality through the early stages of this war, vocally feigning support for the Targaryens but as always keeping a watchful eye on the events to come that may favor his ancient House in some way.

Through his appointment there, Rolland unofficially fought with the Long Lances in several minor skirmishes with them and the Dothraki. It was there, that Rolland was able to hone his fighting skills and master the use of his family's ancestral sword Vigilance.

Unlike his two elder brothers, Edmund choose a different path of his family, preferring to turn his eyes towards the sea instead of the galantry of the land. He was knighted only because he was forced to as a scion of the Hightower but in truth, the young man is more brigand and pirate then a virtuous servant of the Seven. Edmund has spent much of his time at sea, commanding the pathetically weak fleet that the Hightower called a navy and on occasion, partaking in not so legal activities in plundering a few trade routes here and there for his own personal gain. Having been recalled back to Oldtown at the start of this new Blackfyre conflict, Edwynd is prepared to serve his family in more noble means, albeit with some resistance and loyalties which are not yet known.
