Appearance and Character Edit

Lord Dontos is an ageing soldier, hardened by a life of campaigning. His brown hair is greying and his manner is gruff. Keen-eyed observers note he walks with a faint limp, a legacy of battles past. His dress is always practical and hardy, and he prefers brown and red fabrics with little ornamentation.

History Edit

Dontos was born to Lord Benedict Bracken, his only son and his only child by his first marriage. His childhood was typical of a noble heir - he was instructed in the arts of war and governance by a Maester and in religion by a Septa. Of these subjects, only war really captured his imagination. He squired for his father as he rode against bandits and brigands, and was knighted at the age of 15.

When he was 24 his lord father died, having caught a chill in the fierce winter known as Maegor's Breath. Dontos succeeded to the lordship of Bracken lands and set about reforming his levies, improving their equipment and personally overseeing drills and training regimes. He was to put this work to good use during the Hook Uprising, when he added his banners to those of Lord Lucas Tully in the ride against Maidenpool. His men acquitted themselves excellently, earning Dontos the attention of the other river lords.

In the year of the Rosegold Rebellion, Dontos found himself hunting bandits once again while other lords, including Blackwood, marched West. He was angered at being held in reserve, and his anger only grew when he learned of the terrible defeat at Tumbler's Falls. He saw more prestigious but less talented men fail where he was convinced he would have prevailed. Nevertheless, his work at maintaining order in the Riverlands during the crisis was highly successful and there was little turmoil in the region aside from the direct consequences of the war.

Recent Events Edit

Family Edit

Dontos has numerous younger half sisters, with whom he has little contact and no particular affection. An exception is Hariette Bracken, now married to Tommard Tully. The two enjoy a cordial relationship.

Lord Dontos married at the age of 20, and has three trueborn daughters by his wife: Alys, Cariad and Rhaella. When the youngest, Rhaella, was born, her mother died in childbirth. Lacking a son and heir, Dontos was delighted when a young man named Benedar was presented to him. Dontos had travelled to Oldtown just after his marriage, and evidently he had fathered the boy while away from home. Rumours abound as to his mother - some say she was a visiting princess from the Summer Islands. Others say she was simply an Oldtown whore. Either way, Dontos eagerly took the boy in and raised him as a trueborn son.
