Jeor Reed

Horford Reed is the heir of Brandon Reed and current squire of Lyonel Baratheon.

Appearance and Character
Horford is long and gangly, growing into his newfound length. He is energetic and foolhardy, simply putting 100% into everything he does. His hair is a chestnut color, cropped neatly and tended to very closely by Horford himself. A young boy still, he has no facial hair and is still years off from his first stubble. Like his uncle and mother he shares brown eyes. Orry, as his friends call him, is not afraid to get dirty and enjoys hard work and keeping his hands busy. Much like his mother, it's quite hard to get the boy to shut up once he gets going.

History
Horford's parents were originally a union made from the necessity of a young Reed heir. Jon Reed, his grandfather, married Jocelyn to a lesser Crannogman clansmen, a second son, strengthening the relationship of the leadership within the Neck. Their union was matrilinial, producing a Reed heir without forcing the stubborn Brandon to wed.

When Horford had been born there had been great concern that the boy may suffer the same ailments that haunted Brandon Reed. Greendreams that would make him into a cowardly fool. But alas, he was a healthy boy with no 'gifts' from the Gods, only a strong back and bright disposition. In fact, Brandon Reed lauded his swordsmanship skills so much that he was able to secure an appointment as Lyonel Baratheon's squire - a great honor by any means to strengthen ties with a great house. Rare as it was for the Reeds to venture out of their swamps, Brandon had thought it important for the boy see the world in his youth.
