Colmar Celtigar, is the heir of Claw Isle. Born as the first legitimate child of Balon Celtigar and wife Essie Crabb, Colmar was initially seen as a long desired gift from the Gods, a tool with which to secure his house's continuation, until the terrible malady he was cursed with was discovered. A short life expected, Colmar rather than being raised at Claw Isle, was as an infant sent to be raised by his mother's relatives at Crabb Hall, where he was all but forgotten by House Celtigar. Having survived against heavy odds, Colmar grew, and has recently returned to Claw Isle, to prepare for the responsibilities of one day ruling it.

Appearance and Character Edit

Colmar is undersized for a boy of his Two and Ten age, and to even an untrained eye, quite sickly. Blonde hair and soft blue eyes, complimented with full cheeks, Colmar would be the picture of a handsome boy, were he not so often stooped over the ornately carved weirwood cane he requires to walk, or reeling and staggering when meant to be standing still, or his right hand not usually clutched into a uselessly grasping claw. Small, thin, and frail, Colmar appears lucky to have lived this long.

Colmar is a studious lad, caring little for the martial concerns that have eluded him, and even less for social activities that require him to interact with people inclined to mock the ill and fragile, instead having chosen to pursue pursuits of the mind. Throwing himself as a boy into consuming as much knowledge as possible, Colmar has learned a great deal about subjects that would boggle even the sharpest minds of his age.

Since his return to Claw Isle, Colmar has proven if nothing else, to be completely loyal to his family and their legacy, namely, his Crabb Kin that raised him. He's openly grateful to House Crabb for the kindness he was shone throughout his childhood, and seems eagerly committed to ensuring their rise to prominence.

History Edit

Born in 86 AC, Colmar Celtigar took his first breath from his mother's last, Essie Crabb, died in childbirth. Colmar's father, seemed to bare his son no harshness for the death of his mother, and rather was overjoyed to have a legitimate son. Until the first signs arose of Colmar's illness.

The Maesters called it Shaking Sickness, and noting Colmar's later trouble walking, and the stiffening of his bones, warned that the child may have lumps growing upon his brain. Considering the likely death of his only heir at Claw Isle, something of a bad omen, as soon as he was able Balon Celtigar had his young son shipped off to Crab Hall to be raised by his mother's kin.

Colmar Celtigar lived a mostly solitary life, taking little interest in House Crabb, as individuals, paying almost no attention to his maternal relations other than that their name was Crabb, which he chose to honor as a sign of their superior virtue, no matter their personal failings.

Colmar's early life was mostly spent with a Maester at his bed, tending to his infirmities. As he's grown, he's yet to severe his tie to Maesters, doing his best to learn from them in all things. On the occasion, when a wizened older man wasn't avilable to impart wisdom or heap upon him sage advice, Colmar proved an adequate study on his own.

Colmar Celtigar's interest in learning became more of an obsession, and from his books and his near constant contact with Crabb Hall's Maester, he became practiced in many subjects, primarily showing a love of Botany and Healing, as well as a desire to learn about plant based Poisons. Illnesses, Diseases, and their treatments being favored subjects for the boy. As he grew, and walking became a labored and painful procedure rather than a foolish hope, Colmar was eventually allowed to assist Crabb Hall's aging Maester in some of his duties, letting the boy gain first hand knowledge of limited medical procedures.

It was as assistant to a Maester, that Colmar discovered his love of secrets, and the ease with which he could learn them. Few of the people around him, it seemed were prepared to guard their precious information around the cripple whose mind was more often than not clouded by drugs to keep him from howling in pain.

The year of 96 AC, would be one of great change in Colmar Celtigar's life, as he would find himself returning to Claw Isle, at the request of the father who shipped him off as an infant. The new living situation took some adjustment, but after some time Colmar became accustom to living with his father, his second wife Marry Darry, and Colmar's younger sister Merianne, if not comfortable. It was hard for Colmar to learn to care for any of his new family, though Valena Celtigar was quickly established as the one he respected most, the young woman having served as prospective heir while his family remained unsure if Colmar would live, impressed him.

It was during this period of adjustment that Colmar discovered and evidenced his most unusual skill, namely sleight of hand, learning to use his physical disability as a means of distraction, so he might perform certain parlor tricks for the amusement of others undetected. Primarily, he's used his simple magic tricks to make his half sister Merianne laugh.

Colmar in recent years has managed to avoid the responsibility of training to be Lord of Claw Isle, his father, and by extension, most people assuming he'll still never live to take the Lordship himself, he's mostly continued his personal studies uninterrupted.

On the 8th Moon of 98 AC, reluctantly left as defacto ruler of Claw Isle, Colmar Celtigar witnessed from a remove the assault on his lands by a red sailed fleet. He does not look forward to the conversation he'll be having with his father, upon Balon's return.
