Podrick Piper

Appearance and Character
Podrick Piper is the Lord of Pinkmaiden and Head of House Piper. He became Lord Piper in 406 AC at the age of nineteen, after his father Edmund tripped while falling down the stairs, and is the firstborn of Lady Mariah Piper and Lord Edmund Piper. He is of medium height, with red hair, a stocky build and brown eyes.

While Pod has the typical basic education of a lord and heir, his favourite pursuit is fighting. He is one of the best fighters in the Seven Kingdoms, known for his flamboyant fighting style with two short swords, giving him more maneuverability than a sword and shield alone. He is also known for his drinking and wanton ways.

Recent events
Podrick Piper was born to Lord Edmund Piper and Lady Mariah Piper in 387 AC. His mother was often abed, meaning that Pod received a more martial education than normal. He showed promise as a swordsman, so at the age of eight he was warded to House Mallister as a squire, in order to continue his training. He became a great swordsman, developing his unusual fighting style by the request of Lord Mallister, due to its relative maneuverability and lighter weight. During this era he grew close to Lord Mallister's eldest daughter, Sadie. The two were married in 402 AC, although it was rumoured that the two had began an affair, and the marriage was to prevent any dishonour for the houses. Following this he was quickly bundled off to the Vyprens to complete his training to become a knight.

Podrick was knighted by Lord Vypren in 405 AC following his slaying of a robber knight, and returned to Pinkmaiden. However, Pod is notorious for his infidelity and soon began an affair with the young "maiden" Alyssa Darry from a neighbouring castle. Upon his father's untimely death, Podrick assumed the title of Lord Piper, and is currently untested, with his first major event as lord being the Harrenhal Tourney of 407 AC, which he is attending with his wife Sadie Mallister.

Recent Events
Podrick attended the tourney of the Red Comet, which would ultimately prove to be his downfall. During the time spent there among the other lords and ladies, he grew paranoid that his cousin, Selwyn Storm, was plotting against him, and in drunken rage attacked him the morning of the closing feast. He followed his aggression up that night by attacking and severely wounding Selwyn. Unfortunately for Podrick, he let his guard down during the fight, allowing himself to be impaled on Selwyn's longsword, and he was slain that night.
