Yorick Jordayne

Yorick Yronwood is the betrothed of Lady Casella Jordayne and soon to be Lord Consort of The Tor. He is the youngest son of Lysono Drahar and Ashira Yronwood and brother to the Lord of Yronwood; Quentyn.

Appearance and Character
Yorick resembles his father more than he does his mother; Dark hair, olive skin, his lithe build and most of all his cunning and awfully charming smile. One key feature however he did inherit from his mother, his blue eyes and as a result has according to some become the ideal blend of both of his parents.

His personality too is more his father's than any of his siblings', yet in the way few would like to admit. Where his brother Myles inherited their father's intelligence when it came to stewardship, Yorick inherited his sense for intrigue and trickery. Despite this 'darker' side to him, he is still widely regarded as a friendly, easy-going man.

His constant striving to better his skills is fueled by a deep-seated jealousy for the bond Quentyn and Myles share, having always felt like the third wheel on the wagon.

Early Life
Yorick very much enjoyed the carefree life that being the thirdborn son gave him. While it was expected of him to study and practice the blade, it was never forced upon him. So instead he spent time on his own, observing all that was around him from a distance in the shadows.

As time went on, he found this particular talent to be more fruitful than anything else. Quickly he became known among the staff as the lordling to watch out for more than his big, strong brothers, for there was no word spoken among them that would not reach his ears eventually.

His wide array of knowledge of all that happened behind the backs of his parents granted him privileges that his siblings could not enjoy. Mostly it meant extra food out of the kitchen but the far more useful side were the agents and catspaws always ready to do his bidding out of fear over their secrets being revealed.

War of Stone and Sky
Where Quentyn argued and Myles accepted gladly, Yorick rejoiced more than anyone could imagine. Myr, a whole new playing field.

While Yorick enjoyed less freedom than he had at home, his brother now resolved to see to his education, he still found time to hone his craft. He spent most of his free hours with the Myrish side of his family, who more than valued intrigue. They educated him in the arts of espionage, counterfeiting and even showed him how to use the nimbleness of his hands to his favour.

Adolescence
Yorick faced his return home with heavy heart, not due to the death of his father but due to a want for staying in Myr longer. When it was eventually revealed to him how he had died Yorick could barely contain his smug grin. His brothers may have frowned upon their father's betrayal and lies, Yorick however could not help but think he could have done it better.

As his mother sank into a coma his brothers ascended to regency of the holdings as the face and the brain. And it wasn't until now that Yorick revealed the full scope of his skills to Quentyn. He may not have enjoyed the autonomy Myles did (whether that was by choice or not remains up for debate to this day), but the face and brain now also had eyes and ears.

Yorick continued to expand his networks throughout the years, gathering information and dealing with the darker underbelly of Dorne both through agents and personally until his mohter's eventual death. While he had not been partucularly close with either of his parents this fact made his mother's death all the more tragic as a flood of regrets and what ifs washed over him. After the funeral he remained home, by his siblings' side serving his brothers' purposes from a more managing position rather than the personal approach he had been taking.

Recent Events
Shortly before the news of King Aegon's death, Yorick was betrothed to the Lady of the Tor, Casella Jordayne yet their wedding plans were cut short by the call to a Grand Council by the Lord Hand. And so he finds himself in King's Landing with his brother Quentyn.
