Appearance and Character

Gerion is a tall and muscled man, easily reaching over six feet. His skin is pale as a result of his use of his plate armor, and his eyes are a near emerald green. His neatly cut and combed hair is the shade of golden sunlight, and is admired by all. His face is considered handsome by all, with a strong jawline and high cheekbones.

He is a good man, with a strong faith in the Seven and a mind for military matters. First blooded in the Three Banners War, he eagerly awaits his next taste of battle. For now, he is near unbeatable at Jousting and seeks to one day be recognized by Lady Tysane Lannister for his skill. Of course, when he is not jousting or dreaming of war, he courts ladies of the nobility.

Truly a maiden's fantasy.

History

Early Life

411 AC - 426 AC

Born in 411 AC, he entered the world at a relatively prosperous time in the Seven Kingdoms. House Lydden was flourishing and it's trade was booming. He spent much time playing with his sister, Myrcella, often hiding in the woods much to the disdain of their parents. His father, Kevan Lydden, was happy to have such a healthy son and could tell he would grow to be a great warrior and an even greater general. His mother, Lyanna Lydden nee Jast, taught him the ways of love and singing, which he excelled at. Even to this day, he still sings.

Adolescence

426 AC - 432 AC

He visited Casterly Rock often, enjoying the sight of the grand castle and the view it provided of the Sunset Sea. Gerion would insist on visiting many times, where he made a name for himself due to his remarkable riding skill as well as his sharp wits. Serving maids often found the lad singing to himself softly as he read some priceless book on the walls. By the time he was ten and five, he began jousting regularly. This was one of the many things he was good at, but he enjoyed it the most. His skill with the lance was remarkable and he was sure to bring glory to his house through it.

The War of the Three Banners

432 AC - 435 AC

The Westerlings had revolted along with half of the Kingdom, and Kevan Lydden was faced with a difficult decision. His aunt, Leila Lydden, had married into House Marbrand which was one of the three factions. Deciding to not be an oathbreaker, he fought alongside House Lannister and marched with 50 knights in the van of their army. He brought along Gerion, deciding it was high time for the lad to learn the ways of war.

Unfortunately, Kevan was killed in battle by an arrow to the neck. Gerion quickly assumed control of his father's forces, refusing to let them break. They readied their lances and charged into the back of Spicer's forces, breaking their lines finally during the Ruin of the Ocean Road, and allowing the men of the Lannister banner to retreat safely.

Once the war was ended, he returned home and buried his father. Unfortunately his mother had died as well, whether of a broken heart or fever, one could not tell.

Recent Events

439 AC

Gerion led Criston Lannister's host during the War of Wings and Talons, serving as the van commander. The van was comprised of Lydden knights, men-at-arms, archers and skirmishers, focusing on scouting as well being the hammer to Criston's anvil.
