Myles Drinkwater

Ser Myles Drinkwater, son of Ser Aron Drinkwater and Lady Sarella Dalt, is an relatively unknown Knight in the service of House Yronwood. An excellent swordsman, he hopes to one day be well regarded for his talent.

Appearance and Character
Standing taller than the average man, Myles strikes an imposing figure in his armor. In battle, he wears steel plate thats covered by a black linen tabard that bears no sigil due to his refusal to bear the arms of his House. However, when he is not in battle you can oft find him dressed in silk robes dyed the pale yellow of House Yronwood. Regardless of attire, he is quite the dashing man with his piercing blue eyes and short sandy blonde hair catching the attention of many. Myles is considered unorthodox in his style of fighting, which has him duel wielding arming swords. His twin swords are honed constantly in the anticipation of battle, something he has yet to see properly.

Early Life
419 AC - 426 AC Born in 419 AC, he entered the world in a relatively peaceful time. The merchants were once again returning, the wars of before were dissipating and life was good. His birth was an easy one and he was a quiet babe. However, it was also a suspect one; Myles looked nothing like his siblings and his mother was known to be promiscuous. His father despised him for his mother's supposed misdeeds, and never forgave him for it. Growing up faster than expected, he always found climbing somewhere he wasn't supposed to be or stealing food from the kitchens.

Adolescence
426 AC - 435 AC Of course, as a child of a Noble Dornish house, Myles was fostered in the Water Gardens alongside other children. His father was glad to see him go, calling the young lad a bastard behind his and his mother's back. At Sunspear, he flourished and could often be found fantasizing about war and knighthood, reading the legends of Ser Arthur Dayne, Prince Oberyn Martell and Queen Nymeria.

When it was time for him to leave Sunspear, he traveled back to Clearstream and trained hard everyday in the art of combat. His mother disapproved of his martial inclinations as she said they were a fool's art, but his brothers couldn't be prouder. Myles' father had no opinion, seeing the lad as a waste of time and gold.

The War of Stone and Sky
434 AC - 435 AC The Stony Dornishmen had revolted, and Aron Drinkwater was faced with a difficult decision. Deciding the only way to avoid lasting repercussions from the war was to fight on both sides of the war. Sending his eldest Trystane to fight for Martell, and his second son Archibald to fight for Yronwood, he was assured no harm would come to his house. His father told him he wasn't worthy enough to serve in the war for his house, and kept him at home where he drank his days away in the garden. Trystane served with Santagar in the battle of Planky Town, slaying many of Red Reynard's men before being cut down in the heat of battle. His brother Archibald shared the same fate when Lady Ashira Yronwood decided to ambush the Vulture King in the pass to save her own skin. Distraught at the loss of his "true sons" and wife, Aron withdrew to his room and rarely leaves it. While her father slowly wasted away, Elia Drinkwater took over command of Clearstream and now is the leader of the house in everything but name.

Recent Events
439 AC A marriage was arranged for him by his father Ser Aron Drinkwater and Ser Maric Rowan, in which he was to wed Lady Rosamund Rowan. The ceremony took place in King's Landing. His father did not attend, but his sister did.

After the wedding finished, he attended the Great Council of 439 AC's Open Debate. There he met with Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, insulting her with the aid of Tremond Uller.
