Valerion Wylde

Valerion "Val" Brandon Wylde is the heir to Rainhouse and House Wylde and a former Lyseni pillow slave. Having recently returned to Westeros after petioning for his freedom to his mistress Selenya, he quickly assumed the role intented for him - the one of an heir to a lordly House.

Appearance and character
Some boys grow into handsome, adult men and some remain boyish for their entire life ; Val has always been in between those two spectrums. The softness of his pale, Lyseni face is ruined by the sharpness of his jaw. During his time as a pillow slave, his hair was long, in heavy curls, varying in colour, from his natural dark chestnut to an artificial white gold. However, he now keeps them short and in their natural dark and distinctively Andal colour. His eyes are a teasing light green, and his body slender, though not muscular.

Not all of us start off miserable
The joy of young parents was immesurable when their first child, a healthy baby boy was born in Rhaena Vhassyl's family's mansion in Lys, in 379 AC. The baby's father, heir to Rainhouse in the Stormlands and a famous sailor, Cedric Wylde, named his child Brandon, a name he associated with power, strenght and honour.

Tragedy would strike as soon as the baby Brandon was one moon old. His father was called back home, alongside his wife and son. Yet, the night before the couple was off to sail to Westeros, a few of thieves, dressed as Vhassyl servants, kidnapped the boy and led him out of the mansion, into the streets of Lys, without being noticed. Cedric and Rhaena postponed their journey to look for the boy, but no sign came even in the coming weeks and the broken couple was forced to leave without their only child.

Brandon was quickly translated into the local religion of the Goddess of Love, and given a Valyrian name - Valerion. His history and childhood were fabricated as the orphaned baby of unknown parents, and given to a pair of wealthier traders who couldn't have children.

As the boy grew up, his "parents" noticed that he was a pretty boy, even with his diluted Andal features, and when they lost all money they had on gambling, they sold their "son", affectionately called Val, to a pillowhouse called "The Golden Coin of Love."

At the tender age of just 6, in 385, little Val was set to contribute to the best of the city's income sources. He would do that for the next 20 years of his life.

Used & Abused
The owner of "The Golden Coin" was a fat, middle-aged nobleman named Moredo. To him, the boys and girls he bought were just slaves, subhuman ; especially young, comely boys, such as Val, who oft found not a touch of sympathy in their master. Moredo barely checked who asked for the services, only if they had a disease or not, and many of the male prostitutes found themselves in a miserable, bad position they didn't have a chance of getting out of.

Val was routinely subjected to forceful colourings of his naturally dark, disobedient hair, into a white gold he later wore as a sign of victory. Due to his odd features for a Lyseni, he collected many customers, and was the most desirable slut in the pillowhouse not long after, bringing most profit to Moredo. In an effort to get away from all that, Val snuck out at night often and traded kisses and bodily pleasures for skills with the blade, especially a dagger, in order to keep himself safe, as well as lessons in Common tongue if he served a Westerosi person and all topics that interested him.
