Royce Snow is the 1003rd Lord Commander of the Night's Watch; serving after a particularly heated election that led to the violent deaths of over twenty 'crows' of the opposition. Raw charisma and an propensity to 'tolerate' infractions such as rape of captured Wildlings and the visit of the brothels of Mole's Town has won him much support among the normally fractious bands of brigands and traitors that comprise the Night's Watch. It is rumoured Royce had picked up the Red Faith during his time as a Sellsword.

Appearance

Clad in the austere black and furs of the Night's Watch, the prodigal Whoreson has reluctantly shed any past trappings of the South's typical ostentatious flamboyance. Parchment thin tallow flesh stretches over whip-taut muscle which is surmounted by an hardened visage, lined with stubble and two chips of ice.

History

Royce was conceived in a moment of immense shame and guilt for Edmund Blackwood, Lord of Raventree Hall; who had set sail for White Harbour in a form of pilgrimage to the ancient God's Woods and holy sites of the North only to find himself enraptured by the loose women and courtesans of the prominent market city.

While Edmund initially seemed to be greatly invested in his illegitimate offspring, even gifting him a Weirwood bow for his tenth birthday, but the Riverlander Lord attentions soon wandered and Royce quickly learned to fend for not only himself, but his mother - especially against particularly rambunctious clients.

Aspiring for ambitions that reached beyond the fluid-stained walls of the brothels that served as his home for much of his life, a young Royce and his half brother, Osric, set out to ply their trade on the roads, hoping to gain enough money to return and lift their mother and their other half siblings out of poverty.

The two brothers had swift feet and swifter tongues, which served them well as thieves and later Sellswords. They would settle in King's Landing, first as recruits to the Goldcloaks and then the Golden Company as the latter paid better. Royce's highwheeling adventures were shattered when Osric took a dagger to the throat during a dispute in a bar. Disgusted and disillusioned with the guardsman' life, Royce attempted to loot the treasury with a small band of like minded men and flee with a highborn woman who he gained the fancy of.

Discovered at the cusp of success, Royce was deserted by his compatriots and accused of rape upon the highborn woman, who had feigned their midnight trysts as violent assaults to spare her the wrath of her angered family.

Given the choice of being castrated or taking the black, Royce reluctantly took the latter and took his vows on 395 AC.

Two years later, he had won over the support of enough of his brethren, many of them fellow scoundrels, to be elected to the position of Lord Commander.
