His years of smuggling has gave him a skill of understanding shady businesses and also given him many illegal connections. He has a passion for fighting, and nobody can stop him once he has battleaxe in his hands.

His looks are vicious, and he's a madman in battle, but deep down, he has a soft side. His wife and children always comes first for him, and he does everything to keep them away from the shady businesses he does.

History Edit

Early Life Edit

Aubrey Farman was born in 62 AC on Fair Isle to Androw Farman and Shiera Clifton. His early life in Fair Isle were plain and peaceful, with not much happening in his early childhood. He spent most of his time in the company of his older brothers, hoping to be a sailor like his older brother Adrian.

Squiring for Paxter Crakehall Edit

When he was eight, Aubrey was sent to Crakehall by his father, to squire under Lord Paxter Crakehall. Paxter was a man honor, and he always acter good to Aubrey. When he went on his trips on sea, he would take Aubrey with him, teaching him everything he knew about ships. Paxter would eventually be a figure Aubrey would look up to, a person who would be like second father to him.

Paxter was a very religious man, spending a lot of time in septs. He would sometimes take Aubrey with him as well, which would make Aubrey quite religous too. He was a good sailor and a Lord, but not quite a swordsman, which led to Aubrey not learning much swordmanship from him. Instead, he turned to the Crakehall heir, Arthur, trying to learn from him. They trained together, but Aubrey always got destroyed. Aubrey was strong but not that powerful with a sword, so instead, he decided to use his muscle to wield a two-handed battleaxe instead.

The Handmaiden Edit

During his time in Crakehall, Aubrey saw a young handmaiden named Valery, who was from House Yew. They would sneak glances at each other and smile. Aubrey never had the courage to talk to her, but she did. But when she would try and get close to Aubrey, he would panic and move away. This saddened the girl, even making her cry one day, as she thought she wasn't good enough for him but when Aubrey saw her crying, he finally had the courage to go and talk to her, leading to them having an affair. Their relationship was mostly secret since Paxter wanted to marry Aubrey into House Crakehall, but eventaully, they were caught. Paxter knew the difference between a betrothal and true love, so he also knew if he seperated the two to marry Aubrey to House Crakehall, it would backfire on him, making him allow the two to have their affair.

Becoming a knight Edit

After more than ten years of being a squire to Paxter, he finally got sick due to his old age. Aubrey would visit Paxter in his bed everyday, but eventually Paxter would pass away. To the surprise of Aubrey, one of Paxters last wishes was Arthur to knight Aubrey after his passing. Arthur would honor Paxters wish, knighting Aubrey for his service for House Crakehall. Free from his service, he decided to return to Fair Isle to marry his longtime lover Valery.

The Wedding Edit

When he finally returned to his home, he asked his older brother and now Lord, Adrian, for permission to marry Valery, connecting House Farman and House Yew. After Adrian granted their wish, a wedding was held in Fair Isle, with people from House Farman, House Yew, and even some from House Crakehall arriving. To Aubreys surprise, Adrian gifted his brother a ship as a gift, which he named the Windcatcher. It was then when Aubrey decided that he would sail around Westeros, transporting goods as a tradeship.

Captain of the Windcatcher Edit

Aubrey departed from Fair Isle with his wife and a crew he assembled himself, which included a few distant cousins, the harbormasters son Daven, a few hedge-knights, and some of his friends. He traveled along the coast, trying to avoid the Iron Islands as much as possible, transporting people willing to pay, and merchants who were trying to transport goods. During one of his trips, on 85 AC, Valery would become pregnant, causing Aubrey to cut the trip short.

The Child of Sea Edit

Aubrey wanted the child to be born in Fair Isle, but he would make many stops along the way, to ensure the people on his ships still got what they wanted. Knowing he could never reach Fair Isle in time, he switched his course to Greengrove. Unfortunately, they would never make it there in time. With the help of a Septa they were transporting, they managed to deliver the baby at sea, who would be Aubreys first child, Randyll.

The Pirates of Fair Isle Edit

Since the baby was already born, Aubrey wanted to head straight back to Fair Isle and stay there for a while to raise his kid before going back on water, not knowing Fair Isle had attracted many pirates. With a crew not fit for battle, Aubrey could not make it past it the pirates. There was a heated battle between Aubrey and the hedge-knights fighting against the pirates, but the pirates having better gear, they slowly overtook the hedge-knights leaving Aubrey alone, with his battleaxe in hand. His lust for battle made him kill three pirates before he finally went down with a sword slashing his cheek, finding himself on land the next time he opened his eyes. Fortunately, he found his family and remaining crew members in a rowboat, safe and sound.

Life on shore Edit

Fearing for his family, Aubrey decided to life on land for a while traveling to Valerys home, Greengrove. He paid all his surviving crew members for all the troubles and sent them on their way, but one of them stayed. Daven Farrow, the son of the harbourmaster, decided to stay with his captain, having nowhere else to go. Aubrey decided to take young Daven, who was five-and-ten at the time as a squire. Their time on Greengrove was happy, with Aubrey spending time with little Randyll, and getting to know the knight of Greengrove, Ser Barneby. Almost a year later, on 87 AC, their second child was born. A girl, who they named Alora

Aubrey first wanted to stay on land and raise his kids and spend time with his family, but his lust for battle eventually backfired on his family, and he became aggressive towards them. Realizing his place was not on land but on sea, with a battleaxe in his hands, he sent Daven to Fair Isle to request stronger ships from his brother Adrian. His wish was granted and he was given a powerful galley, the Red River. Aubrey left his family in Greengrove with Ser Barneby, to sail again, without putting them in harms way.

Captain of the Red River Edit

Not wanting the trading life he once had, he turned to more illegal ways. Specifically, smuggling. His business boomed, with much more customers. The large amount of supplies on his ship also attracted more pirates, so Aubrey had more warriors in his ship, occasionally even hiring the pirates who surrendered after their failed attacks. He taught Daven everything he knew about captaining a ship, just like when Paxter taught him when he was a squire. His business grew so much, he couldn't fit it in one ship, leading to him buying another one.

Captain Daven Farrow Edit

Aubrey didn't have to look far to find a captain for his second ship. Thinking he could handle it, he gave the ships command to his good friend and squire Daven. Daven proved he was a good learner when a group of pirates attacked them once again. The two ships surrounded the pirate ship, ironically becoming the pirates themselves, stealing the pirates loot to sell them.

Daven proved his captainship once again, when a group of heavily armed pirates raided the two ships. The pirates were reasonable and Aubrey knew they would lose, allowing the pirates to take all the cargo without bloodshed. Daven on the other hand, challenged the captain of the ship to one-on-one combat for the loot of both ships. The captain, amused by the young captain of six-and-ten, accepted the challenge. He was not amused when Daven cut his throat open. Some of the pirates tried to attack the two ships, taking the loot by force, but the other pirates tried to stop them. Taking advantage of this, Daven and Aubreys crew both joined the fight as well, leading to to the pirates losing. Aubrey allowed the pirates who surrendered to join his crew. He gave the heavily armed pirate ship to Daven, and Davens old ship to some of the members of the crew, who decided to leave to start a safer trading business.

When the Westerlands and the The Reach, rebelled against the throne, Adrian called his brother from sea to fight. When news reached that the Redwynes used their fleet to attack Oldtown, Aubrey wanted to lead warships to stop them, but Adrian refused, sending him on land instead.

Battle of Kings Landing Edit

Adrian sent his two brothers to Kings Landing to fight along the other Westermen. Aubrey and Damion marched with the others into the city walls. When Damion wanted to storm the Dragonpit and kill the dragon, Aubrey laughed it off thinking he went mad. He wasn't laughing when the dragon roared and smoke starting coming out of the Dragonpit, roasting Damion inside. With the sudden rage, Aubrey rushed into battle, slashing his way through with his battleaxe. In the heat of the battle, he suddenly turned to his squire Daven, who marched with him, and knighted him right there on the battlefield

The assault led all the way to the Red Keep, where the battle was fierce. Aubrey and Daven cut through Valemen, one by one. During the heated battle, Aubrey spotted a young knight, Ser Jared Royce. He rushed at the young knight with his battleaxe, but the young knight easily blocked his blow. The two clashed for several minutes, and it look like the duel was in the favor of young Jared, who had already wounded Aubrey severely. He would have killed the captain, if the newly knighted Ser Daven didn't intervene, sticking his sword through Jareds leg. Jared begged for mercy, but the rage that filled Aubrey after his brother got burned to the death made him split Jareds head in half with his battleaxe, which was one of his many regrets. Eventually the forces were forced to retreat, and Aubrey and Daven both survived the battle, but Aubrey was severely wound, and Daven lost 3 fingers on his left hand.

The Nest Edit

After the war, Aubrey continued his smuggling business. Unbeknownst to him, he caught the interest of a criminal guild. He was tasked by people acting as customers to several challenges, which got harder every time. Harder places to navigate in the sea, docks with harder security, and deliberately setting pirates onto him. Aubrey realized something was off, but he never said a word, as he was earning good money. Eventually, he was approached by a shady being, demanding a meeting. Aubrey, thinking it was a job too illegal to plan in public, went to the place the shady man wanted to meet. The shady man, introduced himself as a member of a "criminal guild" called The Nest. He told Aubrey that they were watching for a while, and they wanted him to join them on specific jobs. Aubrey thought about refusing, thinking it could bring harm to his family, but realized his family could be in a worse state if he did refuse. He didn't want to have a criminal guild as an enemy. He pitched the idea to Daven, who also didn't want to accept, but eventually agreed.
