Gerold Chester

Gerold Chester is the only child born to Clayton Chester, previous Lord of Greenshield, and Selma Westerling. Upon Clayton Chester's death in 414 AC, Gerold took the position of Lord at the age of 15. Since then, Gerold has worked endlessly to make Greenshield, and in extent the Shields, prosper in order to catch the some major lords and potentially expand his family's land and honour.

Appearance and Character
Thanks to 19 years of schmoozing girls, avoiding combat lessons, and an apathetic father, Gerold's developed a slight body. However, large muscles arent required to manipulate and spy on the people around him. These abilities, as well as his ability to govern his realm, have made him increasingly ambitious and he won't let anyone get in his way.

Gerold is generally easy going, but his temper is quick to appear ever since he lost his mother and disfigured his arm in the fire. His mutilated, barely operation left arm constantly pains him and, therefore, makes him appear in an unpleasant mood even though he's generally happy.

He wears the most lavish clothes available and makes to always cover his left arm.

Early Life:
Gerold had a simple early life. He often played with the other children in the area, commoners and noble alike, and found ways to turn them against each other. It was at this young age when Gerold learned the value of being able to lie and decieve.

The Fire:
At the age of 10, a fire was started in the stables while Gerold was playing inside. The fire quickly spread, trapping the young Gerold inside. His mother was able to find a way inside in an attempt to save Gerold, but ended up getting stuck inside as well. Eventually, Gerold was able to find a small way out, only big enough for him to get out. In the process of escaping, the stables collapsed, killing Gerold's mother and trapping his arm inside the fire before he was taken out. The burned remains of Gerold's left arm was barely saved by Greenshields maester.

Running Greenshield:
Starting at the age of 12, Gerold's father grew immensely sick and passed on the job of running Greenshield to Gerold. Gerold took the job and exceeded in every way, filling the castle's coffers with gold. Gerold organized more efficient ways of gathering and counting crops, reformed the tax system on the island, and revitalized trade where before it was struggling.
