Symond Frey

Symond Frey is the current Lord of the Crossing, the eldest child of the late Lady Elana Frey and Ser Lancelyn Erenford. He is the younger brother of Cassana Vance and eldest brother of Walter and Jeyne Frey. His wife, Imogen Blackwood, is expecting his first legitimate child, while he has fathered two bastard children, Harry Waters and Brynden Rivers.

Appearance and Character
Standing at 6'3", Symond is considerably taller than most in his family though he is unable to match his height in muscle. He is a willowy man, with a fair complexion and prominent dark eyes to match his dark hair. His cheeks are high, his nose soft, and full lips pronounced by an absence of facial hair. He typically styles his hair short and combed to the side, but once upon a time he opted to grow it out, wearing it in a bun atop his head. Despite his newfound wealth, Symond seldom chooses to dress the part.

Symond is not the image of a storybook knight; despite his best intents, things go awry beyond his abilities to repair, sometimes born of his own obliviousness. However, as a true knight should, Symond shows a genuine love and concern for those beneath him, and a desire to see his lands guided by justice. He's seldom been presented with opportunities to make that a reality, unfortunately, and House Frey must discover if its untested Lord is able to chase ambitions as well as skirts.

While once a man of many lovers, his marriage has seen him have eyes for his wife alone; though, his lovers were never taken with shallowness, and he felt genuine affection for every woman he has bedded and shows no disdain for the children born as a result, instead being the best father he can while his sons are reared with their mothers' family. Once, he showed interest in a challenge known as "making the eight", and though he only made it through three kingdoms, his marriage vows leave him second-guessing his goal as one worth pursuing. He naturally follows a more submissive role in his marriage, in part due to the intimidation he feels towards his wife.

Rollin' n' Tollin'
Symond wed his now-wife Imogen Frey née Blackwood in the 14th Day of the 2nd Moon of 438 AC, in a so-called "frost fair", a celebration of the two families' friendship for eternity. Lady Elana's vigilant stewardship- one of the few lessons she manged to pass to her son- saw that the Crossings' reserves were plentiful, and their relatively small family made it possible to host another with ease, and a band of bards temporarily lodging at his family's keep brought another level of merriment to the event. It is regarded as one of the happiest days in Symond's life, despite the pandemonium surrounding it. Though of course they did not marry for love, Symond could feel it growing between himself and his bride, and knew it for certain a few short moons later when his wife's change began.

Recent Events
Lord Symond made his way to Fairmarket with his expectant Lady-Wife to swear fealty to his new liege, while his younger siblings are off to Oldtown.
