Robert Bolton is the cousin of Jon Bolton, the Lord of the Dreadfort. Despite having no formal rank amongst the guards of House Bolton, he is one of his father's most trusted men when a problem needs to be solved with brute force, rather than with scheming.

Appearance and Character Edit

Robert is a tall, muscular man, who towers over many of the Dreadfort guards. His curly black hair is usually kept short, and she shaves frequently as well. His gray eyes rarely betray his emotions, and his expression rarely changes.

Having grown up under his father's tutelage, Robert has learned to hide his emotions well from others, and to look calm even when his blood is boiling. However that façade falls apart as soon as he gets involved in a fight and gets to release his pent up anger by viciously swinging his greatsword at whoever's unfortunate enough to be in the receiving end.

History Edit

Childhood Edit

Robert's childhood was marked by Maegor's Breath, a harsh winter that froze everything it touched. He spent most of his childood within the walls of the keep, sheltered from the fog and the blizzards, and he did not set foot outside the walls until he was eight. Despite that, he still learned how to fight and how to properly behave in court, and he started helping his father in menial tasks like telling servants to go see him whenever he required them.

Early adulthood Edit

One of his most important moments was when his father asked him to bring a message to someone one day and he decided to read its contents before doing so. This lead to an argument between both of them, as Royce took the opportunity to teach his son about things like secrecy or trust. Robert admitted his mistakes, Royce accepted his apology, and from that day forward the two of them kept working together to keep the Dreadfort and its Lord safe.

Asha and Mia Edit

Around 91 AC, Robert had an affair with one of her sister's handmaidens, a woman named Asha and left her with child. Wanting this affair to end and Robert to marry a proper wife, Royce sent her away as soon as he got notice of her pregnancy. Robert tried to find her or the child to no avail, until a year later he got word that Asha had been sacrficed to the Old Gods by Malmur Stane, the rebel from Skagos, in exchange for him sparing her daughter's life. Enraged after finding out he rode with Lord Balthasar, seeking revenge against the fanatic, and after the North ended his uprising he searched for the child and took her to the Dreadfort. Robert has refused to marry after that incident, and is raising Mia as if she were a Bolton, rather than a Snow.

Recent events Edit

As of 98 AC, Robert still lives in the Dreadfort and spends most of his time there, unless his father's errands bring him somewhere else.
