Appearance and Character Edit

Triston is a tall, broad-shouldered man in his fifties. Steely-eyed and stoic, he glares down upon all but the very tallest of men.

As a result of his military past, Triston still often opts for more utilitarian items of clothing over the fine garbs that his fellow councillors possess. His armour is forged from fine Qohorik steel plate.

He is a diligent and temperate man who values duty above all. His unwavering commitment to serving the best interests of the realm has returned his house to credibility amongst the crown and crownlords alike.

History Edit

Triston Massey was born in 75 AC to Bernard Massey and [unestablished wife]. He was left fatherless at the mere age of three when Bernard Massey perished at sea.

The aftermath from the Hook Uprising later that year was life-changing for Triston. With his grandfather executed for treason, he became Lord of Stonedance and was given over to House Targaryen as a ward while his uncle ruled as regent.

Growing up in King’s Landing was initially an uncomfortable affair for Triston: bearing the Massey sigil was not popular with the cityfolk of King’s Landing. The experiences hardened the young boy and he started to develop the battle-hardened, stoic persona that he is known for today.

Triston had access to high quality education as a result of his Targaryen wardenship and developed keen interests in martial pursuits. He was discovered to possess a keen mind for strategy and his tutors began to prioritise his military education. Likewise, his access to the Red Keep’s expansive library caused him to become somewhat bookish; studying anything and everything relating to historical battles and tactics.

His proximity to the royal court granted him limited access to members of the small council as well as the young heir, Viserys Targaryen. He developed a friendship with the young Targaryen, despite the future king’s aloofness. Triston notes that this was likely due to their shared sense of outcastedness.

With the tutors taking notice of his aptitude for command, the young Massey’s talents were made known to Prince Aemon Targaryen - one of the greatest commanders in the realm. Triston was offered a place by his side as squire and his martial education progressed at an impressive rate over the years to come.

Triston’s martial education was put to the test when the Rosegold Rebellion occurred. He fought beside Prince Aemon and performed admirably in the sacking of Tumbleton. He led a few flanks in the resulting skirmishes along the road to Highgarden and was knighted for his displays.

Returning to King’s Landing with a newly-enhanced reputation, he began to rub shoulders more regularly with the noble men and women of the capital and found himself enjoying the social lifestyle. His proximity to Prince Daemon was a strong contributing factor to his newfound renown.

Triston struggled initially with the transition to peacetime, having found his apparent purpose on the battlefield. He started to work his way into the Master of Law’s social circles, offering his services to the statesman in any way he deemed fit. Before long, Triston was dispensing justice in the name of the Master of Laws, leading small forces to tackle bandit circles in and around the city of King’s Landing.

His fair but firm approach to crime granted him both fame and infamy amongst the various demographics of King’s Landing alike, and he was soon rewarded with the title of ‘justiciar’, working underneath the Master of Laws to continue dispensing justice by authority of the crown.

When war broke out between Dorne and the Stormlands, Triston was redeployed and he found himself once again on the field of battle. He led multiple forces into Dorne and participated in many skirmishes as well as participating in the sieges of Blackhaven and Sunspear.

Upon his return to King’s Landing, he resumed his role as justiciar and saw the geographic scope of his role begin to broaden. Triston began to travel across the realm to engage in diplomacy and lend advice to his counterparts in the courts of other kingdoms.

Triston found himself back in the Crownlands when the Cobblist revolts began to take hold. With their neighbouring lands, he implored Lord Sunglass to refuse the revolters and side with the crown. Initially it appeared that Sunglass would not heed his words, but he eventually helped put an end to the crownland revolts by leading them into an ambush.

When the incumbent Master of Laws retired, he nominated Triston to succeed his position. With his military background, track record of justice, and connections to the Targaryen, he was appointed to the position by King Viserys in 126 AC.
