History
Brynden was born in the year 414 AC, just minutes after his twin brother Lambert. From a young age, he was bigger and stronger than children his age. At the age of 9 he would begin his combat training, and excelled at fighting, being even more skilled than his older brothers, Edgar and Androw.

During a visit to Wayfarer's Rest, where Androw was being fostered, Androw began bullying Brynden after he had finally managed to best his younger brother in a sparring match. Brynden grew angry with Androw, and beat his older brother, leaving his bloodied and bruised. Androw never told anyone who had attacked him. Following this event, Androw would change his ways and begin acting nicer, and stop picking on his peers.

In 431 AC, Brynden would be married to Sybell Smallwood, their first child would be born a year later in 432 AC. During the Second Hammer Uprising, Brynden remained at Riverrun when his father and older brothers left to fight the the Warsmiths. He and his twin brother were acting co-lords during this time, though Brynden was eager to take a party of men and put the rebels to the sword. Lambert would manage to calm his brother enough so that Brynden remained in Riverrun.

After the death of Ser Lymon Paege in the same winter that claimed his father's life, Brynden would be made the new Master-at-Arms of Riverrun, despite his young age, a responsibility he takes very seriously. He is notorious for intimidating and insulting the recruits he trains, and while they may dislike him, Brynden gets the job done quite well.
