History
Loras rarely speaks on his childhood, feeling that it is better forgotten. He was born in Starpike, his Father went hunting while his Mother was in labour, showing the beginning of a Fatherhood where he would often be no where to be seen.

His Grandfather Horras Peake was always there for him, he taught the boy much of what he knows. But there was no love in his teachings, his guidance was only to manipulate the young boy into fulfilling his own desires, to one day reclaim all that House Peake had lost.

The Doctrines which were force fee to young Loras never truly stuck, he was far to enthralled in tales and fables to take such ambitious tasks seriously.

He dreamed of becoming a knight, riding into battle on a giant steed in armor painted gold with a Valyrian steel sword. He and his close friend would often play Knights runnung around Starpike terrorising the populace with sticks demanding that they return the princess.

His Granfather despised the young lads playful nature and would take to him with open hand in attempt to change him. All this did was instill a lack of a fear in the young boy. His first fight was not long after his fifth name day, the boy was larger and older but young Loras had felt pain before where his opponent had not.

Shocked at the temperament of her son Livia organized for the boy to recieve training in swordplay. An old knight named Gregor took the challenge on, Ser Gregor was a veteran of House Peake and had seen many bloody battles. But even so he enjoyed laughter, such an attribute rubbed off on Loras. The two were as thick as thieves, and Gregors son became Loras' closest friend even until this day.
