Andros Fowler

Andros Fowler is the firstborn son of Cersei Fowler and Ser Aron Sand the Bastard of Wyl, born in the year 417 AC at Skyreach and raised at Wyl by his father. He became the Lord of Skyreach, and the Warden of Prince's Pass since his mother's execution in 435 AC, for the crime of treason against her liege lord Trystane Martell. Andros soon won the love of his people, as he, with his reliable and resourceful uncle by his side, gradually brought prosperity to House Fowler once again, known by many as the Fierce Hawk.

Looks and Personality
Andros Fowler looks the proper Dornishman. Instead of inheriting the Andal looks of his mother, he has lightly tanned skin due to countless hours of play at the beach by Wyl with his cousin, Oberyn Fowler, his brother Alyn Fowler, and other friends.

He has hazel and cunning eyes, with the spark of youth in them. He is slim, and tall, standing at 6,2 feet, and strong with a flat belly and hard lean features, earned by many hours in the yard. He mostly wears comfortable loose tunics and breeches, yet wears silvery enameled plate with a draping cape with the azure hooded Hawk of House Fowler on it on special events and missions. Andros is easy going, charming and could talk to smallfolk, knights and lords alike. He is diligent, aware of his duty, attractive, with a bold confident charm only a son of Dorne could earn, and draws the eye, with his brave actions, and interesting character. He is easy to anger, but doesn't react impulsively, preferring to deal with insults with cool reproach, only rarely reacting with challenges and only drawing his blade when extremely angered or offended. He also has a softer, kinder side to him, a sensitivity that he doesn't often show.

History
Andros Fowler, born 417 AC was born at Skyreach to the Lady Cersei Fowler, nursed there for a year and a half, then sent to Wyl to be raised by his father Ser Aron Sand.

Life at Wyl (418-430 AC)
Andros was loved by everyone at Wyl for his charm, wits and skill at arms. He is an exquisite rider, a better swordsman and knows his ways around the mountains. He grew up there with his cousin Oberyn Fowler and his younger brother Alyn. He and Oberyn became best friends at an early age, playing, riding, sparring together, two peas in a pod. He developed a love for the sea at an early age, traveling with his father through the Sea of Dorne, to The Tor, Yronwood, Ghost Hill, Sunspear, Tyrosh, Lys and Volantis. He also developed a close relationship to the Maester at Wyl, Maester Ormollen. He taught him everything he knows about warfare, history, philosophy, and agriculture.

Ser Andros Fowler (430-434 AC)
Andros and Oberyn both started squiring at the age of 12. He, for ser Errik Santagar and Oberyn for a household knight at Wyl. Their friendship, however did not survive this well, the two boys straying further and further away from each other. Oberyn grew ever more jealous of Andros' station, skills and overall superiority. Andros found that the life of a hedge knight traveling the hot sands, cruel mountains, and infertile dry-lands of Dorne was preferable to the lush life at court. He learned how to hunt, often having to eat roasted lizards for dinner, and learned how to survive in the deserts, where to dig for water, and how to purify water. He trained everyday, improving his skill at arms, hunting bands of outlaws, slaying robber knights, and rescuing maidens, his life was almost taken from a song. But not all was fun and games, however. He soon learned that a squire's life to a hedge knight was not at all without risk.

Once, a group of aggressive R'hllor follwers, ambushed them, and would have been sacrificed to the Lord of Light as sinners, if not for the aid of scouts, who happened to be scouting the area. After that incident, they decided to return to Wyl, on their way, stopping at an inn where he would earn his knighthood. Two Vaith men-at-arms in their cups, turned hostile and attacked Ser Errik, but with the help of his squire Andros, they overwhelmed the two, and that day, Andros took two lives. Since then matters only grew worse with him and Oberyn. He was knighted at 16 for saving Ser Errik. While he was now a knight, Oberyn was merely a squire, and two years older at that, he felt ashamed and angry. He gave up his spurs, and left, leaving for the Nine Free Cities, to ensue a sellsword's life fighting for the Windblown. Andros recieved his most prized possession on the celebration of his knighthood: a longsword forged especially for him, a castle forged blade, with an azure hilt and a silver hawk's head for a pommel and an onyx wyl adder coiled round the hilt. He always wore it on his hip from that day on.

The Ruins Of War (435-438 AC)
It all went downhill from there, one year afterward, the Lords of the Red Mountains started growing ever more uneasy, and war seemed inevitable under the given circumstances. The Stony Dornish could not abide the Followers of the Red God R'hllor and nor could the latter abide the Stony Dornish. Arrangements were made, and plans were brewed, and Andros found himself heir to a traitor, and in the midst of an open rebellion. The betrayal of the Daynes saw the Vulture King's first victory, but not the last. He would go on to divide his army, and send the Fowler and Yronwood troops to take the Tor, while he, the Qorgyles, and other Dornish Houses attacked Hellholt. Then the War of Stone and Sky began, and he wanted to fight and finally make his mother proud and prove his worth. But his father didn't allow him to leave Wyl, keeping him there, almost a hostage. He stayed at Wyl and watched by as his mother's house crumbled and fell into ruin. He was angry, vengeful and sad all at once, confused and filled with rage. He tried to escape twice, aided by his quiet brother Alyn. He wanted to join his mother in her war and lead the Fowler troops, but he was brought back twice by his father. When news of his mother's execution came, Andros fell into a miserable state of rage and hate and sadness, never quite being able to forgive his father.

A Fateful Night (436 AC)
Once on a journey to take his mind off of things, he stayed the night at an inn on the borders between the Reach and Dorne. There were as many Dornishmen as there were Reacherners, and conflict was inevitable as four Reachern soldiers on the table nearby made mock of his mother and her allies, calling her the Headless Hawk. And so Andros fell in a blind rage, unsheathing Venom and cutting down the man who said such. After that, it was chaos, Dornishmen and Reacherners fighting. After all was quiet, Andros and two other Dornishmen were the only ones left alive, and so he went back to Skyreach ashamed of his rage. Since then he has taken on a lordly fascade, easy smiles, a cool aura, hiding his true appearence from the public, hiding his secret hate toward the Martells, those who took his beloved mother from him.

The Hawk's Rule (435-438 AC)
After his mother's tragic death, Andros was summoned to Skyreach by his uncle Ser Belicho Fowler to rule as the rightful lord of Skyreach. The title was too sudden and too great for Andros, and so he has tried to grow into the title, striving to bring back his mother's house back to it's former glory, ensuring better incomes through commerce, and his uncle's competence at statecraft. Ser Belicho Fowler remains his strong right arm, and rules by his side, and advises him in matters he does not understand, and so with the two Fowlers, Skyreach and it's lands will prosper.

Recent Events
Andros, and his family attend the wedding at Oldtown, by way of sea, first traveling to Sunspear, to depart with the Prince, and other Dornish Lords and Ladies, such as Olyvar Yronwood, and Lady Nymella Uller. Soon after arriving at the city, in their notable manse, Andros met the young lady Lysa Brax, and was quickly charmed by her, claiming a kiss, and a lady's favor in the tournaments to come. He would, in the first feast, dance, drink and have fun, also meeting Violet Beesbury in the process, who seemed uncomfortable at the time, due to hawkish looks from her uncle. He would also win himself renown in both Melee, and Joust, by defeating the Knight of Butterflies, Garth Mullendore, and the fearsome warrior maid Runa Volmark in the Melee, only falling to the blade of Desmond Darry, a finalist as the last remaining Dornishman in the Melee. He unseated Criston Lannister, lord of Castamere in his first tilt after an entertaining and awing show. He would also unhorse, and get unhorsed by Alester Flowers, then beating him in a duel on foot in an exciting show down. He later is unhorsed by Robar Baratheon, Heir to Storm's End, as the last Dornishman in the Joust.
