Appearance and Character Edit

A tall and strapping man, Andrew grew in large spurts. The first coming at age twelve when he grew to only a little short of many a man grown. He remained at that height of many years until another growth spurt came and he settled at six feet and two inches. His frame is thick with muscle from his regular training and natural build.

His face features are hard but handsome, with sharp cheekbones and a chin generally covered in light stubble. His eyes are a bright green and piercing, he has a tendency to stare as he holds little shame. His jet black hair is well kept and always relatively short, when stressed he is well known to run his hand through his hair. He cares for his appearance greatly, normally keeping his choice of clothes simple with tunics and doublets in house colors.

Andrew lived a carefree life for many years, by no means a great ruler and he has no desire to be one. Instead preferring to reap the rewards of his position without accepting any of the responsibility that comes with it. He spent much more of his time drinking, hunting, or whoring than he does ruling his people. As time went on, however, Andrew began to thirst for the respect afforded to the other more accomplished lords of the realm. This thirst has driven him to develop his innate talents into applicable skills.

History Edit

Andrew was born a caring and sweet child who went about his limited duties with respect. He hid and wasn't seen for many hours when the battle outside Stonehelm during the Dornish War was being fought, which lead to a great deal of worry for his mother and a great deal of teasing from others. That teasing haunted him for years, and slowly turned the then heir into a resentful angry young man as he grew older.

Eager to prove that he was worthy of his station, the teenage Swann realized that the secrets of others could serve him as well as they serve others. He began to develop a network of friends all over the castle that he encouraged to spy on those that teased him. He uncovered affairs, plots, and intrigue everywhere. He found that holding on to these secrets until they became useful did much to stop those that had harassed him from doing so again.

The discovery that Andrew himself had a lover, the daughter of one of his father's household knights, led to him being sent from Stonehelm to squire for Lord Edric Connington at the beginning of 92 A.C. When he had already left it was discovered that the girl, Alys, was with child and Andrew would soon have a bastard daughter, Jeyne, of whom he didn't know about until his return to Stonehelm, now a knight. He cared little and had nothing to do with his daughter.

Regular beatings and a martial upbringing at Griffin's Roost brought the unruly, sneaky Heir to Stonehelm to heel at least partially. While at Griffin's Roost, the Conningtons saw to it that Andrew received an education and learned the skills he would need to run his keep. He proved a talented steward of money and excelled at economics, though he cared little for reading. His education also included training on how to lead men in battle, which he picked up rather quickly. He combined this martial training with his existing underhanded skills and lack of true skill in face-to-face combat and became a talented reconnaissance officer. He performed his duties during the Rosegold Rebellion as a leader of scouts but didn't earn his knighthood, which had been his goal when news of the war reached Griffins Roost. He cared little for the actual reasoning of the war, instead seeing it as a chance to prove himself and return home. It took him three years to be knighted. When he was finally honored with knighthood, it was as a reward for his work in uncovering the financier of a bandit group that was harassing the farms around Griffin's Roost.

Upon his return to Stonehelm, he worked to prove to others that he was not the lascivious boy that had left the keep. He still works to prove himself today.
