Osric Arryn

Osric Arryn is the current head of House Arryn, whose titles include Lord of the Eyrie, Defender of the Vale, and Warden of the East. He assumed these titles after the death of his father, Alaric Arryn, in the year 407 AC.

Appearance and Character
Osric inherited much of his father's looks, boasting black hair and blue eyes along with a certain degree of intensity. From his mother he recieved rather angular features, not quite so sturdy or built as either his father or some of his brothers.

While a trained swordsman, Osric's true ability lies largely in his skill as a lord, overseeing the Vale with a cautious and steady hand. Where Alaric was loud and brash, his eldest son is far more reserved: a trait exasperated since the defeat of the Vale in the ill-fated rebellion of 407AC.

Early Life
Born to Alaric Arryn and Theodosia Belmore during the early days of 382AC, the earliest moments of Osric's life were fraught with tension and uncertainty. His father yet planned his coup against the ruling lord Roland, and the Gates of the Moon were a hotbed of rebel activity - ostensibly under the guise of visiting the young newborn.

After the Crisis, life returned to normal - though Osric was now heir to the whole of the Vale. He was a quiet child, not prone to tears or crying, but fiercely close to his mother and rarely long departed from her side.

Youth
Much of Osric's youth was spent in the Eyrie, surrounded by family and kin. Like most of his siblings he was fascinated by the menagerie of exotic birds kept by Jonos the Finch, and would often sit and listen as Maester Corwyn tutored the older children on matters of import.

It wasn't until he was ten that he truly began to interact with his father, the Lord of the Vale returning home from battling in the hills and treating with those lords who did not yet accept him.

Alaric immediately set about training his son to the sword, tutoring the lad personally; or, when unavailable, having Alester Hersy or one of his other Winged Knights oversee.
