History Edit

Early Life Edit

Lyonel Mallister was born as the only child of Lord Desmond Mallister in 73 AC at Seagard. Lord Desmond quickly set out to shaping the young child to be a upstanding and virtuous lord, knowing that the legacy of House Mallister would one day be in his hands. As a child, Lyonel fared well at his studies and learned quickly, though he never found much joy or interest in them. Socially, he was the same as many other youngsters and he was soon a popular figure among the children at Seagard, often taking a leadership role and organizing games or activities.

When his training began in the martial pursuits, Lyonel was quickly smitten and he greatly enjoyed training with his friends and mentors. While not a particularly talented fighter at first, Lyonel worked relentlessly at the craft and using his ever growing height, he became a tough foe for anyone at the castle to face. It was clear that he had a bright future ahead of him, and he was soon honored greatly when House Tully offered the young Mallister a position serving as Tommard Tully's squire.

Squiring and Knighthood Edit

Dedicated and loyal, Lyonel served to the very best of his ability, always eager to learn and grow. Despite his budding skills as a leader, he always listened to what was being taught to him and continued to hone his sword arm. Under Tommard's guidance, Lyonel further blossomed into a fine young man and the pride of his house.

Years passed with Lyonel doing his duty and he was rewarded for his service and hard work in 91 AC when Tommard saw fit to knight him. Thankful and overjoyed, Lyonel knew that is was just the beginning of his legacy as now he was held to an even higher standard than before. Bidding farewell for the time being to the court at Riverrun, Lyonel rode back to Seagard where he would serve his father faithfully. While Lord Desmond was known as a strong, fair man, it was clear that Lyonel aided him greatly and it was not long after that those at Seagard recognized Lyonel's abilities to command and lead men. Always studying books on tactics and warfare, Lyonel found great interest in the topics of Siegecraft and how to properly defend a position.

War Edit

While there was no way to test these newfound abilities, Lyonel would stage small, mock battles and apply what he had learned. Unfortunately, the realm would be thrown into war when the Rosegold Rebellion began, and Lyonel quickly took command of a host of Mallister men and rode to support the Crown. While the Riverlords would suffer losses, it was obvious that Lyonel's leadership would help the war effort greatly and he was soon identified as a growing threat to the rebel cause.

One night under the guise of a Mallister guardsmen, a lone assassin snuck into the camp and attempted to kill Lyonel. While he would fight valiantly and fiercely, the young knight would lose his right eye to the assault, but manage to keep his life. Wounded and now a target, Lyonel would continue to lead until the end of the war, unafraid of another attempt on his life. Returning home again to Seagard, Lyonel would care for his father whose health slowly began to decline. in 96 AC, Lord Desmond would pass from the world leaving his son as Lord. Ruling from Seagard and known as a fair but demanding man, Lyonel has worked tirelessly to help his people and his region. He has recently traveled to Riverrun, always ready to serve.
