Eden

Eden is a landless knight with no family and no family name.

Appearance and Character
An enormous figure, made of muscle, Eden stands at 7 foot 6 and possesses what would be considered preternatural strength. His skin is pale as ice and he has no hair to his head. He has a dazzling white smile and big, dark blue eyes that seem to swim with dreams of another world.

Despite his lack of formal education, Eden is a constantly curious fellow. Though he is not always able to read every word, he will happily pore over any book he comes across. On his travels, he carries with him a great leather ledger into which he sketches anything he sees that he deems worthy of note.

History
381 AC: Born in the sixth month, in a village near Haystack Hall, in the Stormlands. The mother dies during childbirth. The father is a farmer.

381 - 394 AC: The boy grows unnaturally fast. By the time he is eleven years old he is as tall as a grown man and to the people in his village he is a bizarre sight. It is not just because of his size, but the fact that he never looked like a real child. There was something uncanny about him, like he was an impostor in the body of a boy.

He lives almost as a stranger in his father's house for thirteen years before he leaves to never return, taking nothing with him.

Less than a year later the father dies of sickness and the people in this village quickly forget them both.

398 - 399 AC: A man of extraordinary size and strength is seen traveling throughout the Crownlands. He works as a hired hand on a number of farms and because of his size he is able to do the work of three men. When people ask him his age, he tells them what he thinks they will accept. When they ask him where he's from he just says he's from the North. He gives many names for his own.

He carries with him a fiddle and a book. The book is full of pencil sketches and he says he's kept it all his life. The fiddle he plays well and occasionally he'll draw a few listeners at a tavern.

400 - 402 AC: He is a crewmember on a ship out of small port in the Crownlands bound for the Stepstones as part of the Crownlander fleet.

His gift for violence becomes apparent quickly. The first time they board a pirate vessel Eden kills a dozen men. One would come at him with a sword, he would grab their wrist, lift them up, and toss them out into the water as if they weighed nothing.

He kills many, but also saves many, including his captain, the firstborn son of Crownlands lord, who, being a knight himself, rewarded Eden with knighthood. He became "Ser Eden" and this was the name he would give from that point on.

Family
None to speak of.

Household / NPCs
None.

Recent Events
403 - 407 AC: Since the end of the War of the Three Thieves Eden worked for a few years as a sellsword before making his way to King's Landing where he is looking to buy some real estate with his savings.
