Appearance Edit

Morgan Marbrand is a slightly tall and broad lord, thick, bulky and muscular. His skin is slightly pale and he has dark, scruffy brown hair and a short beard. His eyes are narrow, a dark, unsettling green in color and feature dark bags under them. Morgan has a harsh, deep voice and is frequently found dressed in leathers or some form of armor. Grey is the most common color he can be found in with some hints of orange and red and even a little brown.

Personality and Character Edit

Lord Morgan is a gruff man, and while he does prefer to speak plainly, he knows when to use his manners and what little charm he has. He prefers to deal with matters directly and openly, though in the shadows he willingly manipulates many things to go the way he wants. Morgan is quite a talented warrior and feared knight due to his strength and skill, and is known as somewhat of a brute. Deep down, he will not let anything come between him and what he desires or needs, though he knows he needs to keep a decent outward appearance as a Lord.

Biography Edit

Early Life Edit

In the year 72 AC, Morgan Marbrand was born as the eldest son of Lord Devan Marbrand, a celebrated birth by all in the family. Devan and his wife had been trying for a child for many moons and when they knew she was with child, a joy came over them that they had always longed for. Morgan was a typical, active child, always adventurous and inquisitive.

He yearned for the trees and hills outside of Ashemark and was fond of walking on the ramparts with his family, taking in the sights of the land that would someday be his. He took to studies with his Maester well enough, displaying a hard-working attitude but no real expertise or enhanced ability to learn. Morgan was eager to hear of knights and battles, and his families history in the West.

He got along well with other children, though he was known to have a fierce selfish streak. As he grew taller and broader, Morgan began training with a variety of weapons and found himself drawn to physical combat, preferring a heavier, harder-hitting weapon. While slightly violent in the yard, his parents and teachers passed it off as just Morgan letting loose some aggression and no one truly taught the boy how to hold back.

Squiring and Love Edit

It was readily apparent he would make a fine, skilled knight someday as long as he continued his training. When Morgan was old enough to be sent away from Ashemark to squire, he was sent to Payne Hill to serve under a member of House Payne. While there, Morgan made a small circle of friends and a few rivals along the way, though none would be truly noteworthy enough to stay in his life for too long.

Finding himself not very fond of the basic duties of a squire, Morgan kept his anger and frustration inside at the jobs he needed to perform, finding no glory or joy in them. He would ride throughout the West with his mentor, seeing the different keeps and lands, learning to fight better all the while. While traveling, he met and fell in love with a young woman, Myrcella Algood during a journey past her fathers keep. They parted ways, but never truly.

When they were separate the pair exchanged letters with fervor, though with time, the letters grew shorter and the two wished to be wed. A few short years passed as Morgan earned his knighthood from his mentor from House Payne, bringing forth the idea of marriage to his father upon his return to Ashemark. Myrcella and Morgan were soon betrothed.

Rebellion Edit

In 93, the Rosegold Rebellion would begin and with his father a weakened, ailing man, Morgan would led the men of House Marbrand into the field. During the Westerman campaign, Morgan would distinguish himself slightly, cutting down Lord Wayn during The Battle of the Gold Road in a fierce but one-sided duel. At King’s Landing, Morgan was not present to see his countrymen roasted alive, but heard the roar of Balerion through the streets he fought on. Surrendering, Morgan returned home to find his father in worse health.

After The War Edit

Eager to cement his status in 94 AC, Morgan called for Myrcella Algood to wed him, only to find his betrothal had been broken in favor of another, one with Triston Westerling who Myrcella had met and similarly fell in love with. Furious, Morgan locked himself in Ashemark where he brooded for a number of years, in a rage whenever he was forced to interact with anyone. For a good portion of time, his uncle dealt with most diplomatic envoys while Morgan sulked mostly alone.

Little did anyone know, but Morgan maintained information and dealings with a number of spies under his employ, who kept tabs on his once betrothed and her new family. They also helped turn Ashemark into a very difficult place to spy on, and Morgan learned how to manage his castle without ever leaving his solar, becoming ever familiar with his holdings.

Myrcella Algood would die during childbirth that year, and Morgan would be sent even further into sorrow and despair, some saying he took out his frustration on anyone unfortunate enough to come into contact with him during this time, but those are just rumors. Shortly after his father would pass and one day, out of the clear blue, Morgan would emerge from his solar with a sense of purpose and begin ruling his domain.

In 95 AC, Triston Westerling would go missing during a hunting trip, a fact that was not lost on Lord Morgan. While he was still angry and vengeful, he felt whatever happened to Triston, he had deserved fully. After briefly attending the events in King’s Landing for the death of the Black Dread, Morgan finds himself at Crakehall with a force of Marbrand men, loyal to Lord Tytos Lannister.
