Craghorn Codd

Craghorn Codd is the Lord of Traitors Rest, the Head of House Codd and the second son of the infamous Harren Codd. He is wed to his first cousin Mya, and is the Father of three.

Personality and Appearence
Craghorn was the second born of a famous Reaver named Harren Codd, he lacked the combat abilities of his Brother but showed great talent on the decks of ships. As a child he was known to never cry even when hurt, his parents assumed that he was mentally handicapped and felt his sixth finger on his left hand was a sure tell sign.

As an Adult Craghorn has remained vigilant in the stoic nature of his childhood, although he rarely speaks to those he doesnt trust Craghorn seems to have no issue speaking endlessly to those he trusts.

Craghorn has been suited with the curse of Lovers Pox which infests much of his body but be seems to care vary little what others think of him.

Childhood
The life of a Codd has never been an easy one, being born into a House that garners no respect is hard for a young Ironborn, Rion and Craghorn were no exception.

They were more 11 months apart and were inseparable as Children, although Rion was a hyperactive child who sought adventure and Craghorn would rather sit in his room and watch the world from his window they still remained close friends.

Craghorn never cried as a baby, even when he was in pain. The wetnurse feared him dead when he did not cry she turned him over to find a sweet whistle which made his Father laugh and was heard to say "This boy will never care how the world sees him" which was a prophecy that was evident in the next few years.

There was few secrets in Traitors Rest that the young Craghorn did not know of in his childhood, he was often found hiding in bizarre places and when asked what he was doing he would always reply the same way. "Listening to the voices in the walls." The few thralls that House Codd had named him "the Strangers boy"

When hearing this the young Craghorn was convinced that Harren Codd was not in act his father and invested his eerie talents into discovering who was his real Father. He never discovered who they were talking about until an old friend of his Father visited from the Riverlands, the man had exclaimed "by the Stranger" during a conversation which peaked the interest of Craghorn.

Craghorn followed the man everywhere he went, he examined every move he made and listened to his conversations but never heard mention of the Stranger again, he decided it was best that he check the mans belongings for any suggestion, the man caught him and when asked what he was doing the boy came clean and the man informed him of the Stranger and the faith of the Seven to the mans suprise Craghorn smiled and left, it was the last time he ever questioned his legitimacy.

History
in his Teenage years young Craghorn was assigned to the crew of his Uncle Robyn's ship, his Uncle was a harsh man with a voice like iron sand. But the boy enjoyed his time on the deck of the Stillborn an old Longship said to have been five decades old.

His first reaving was a hard fought battle in the Summer Isles his bellow average talent with an axes revealed in the raid he was knocked on the head during a scuffle with fishermen and woke up a day later. His Uncle laughed it off and the Ironborn mocked him and his 6 fingers, but it didnt seem to agitate the young Codd.

When he grew older his Father built him his own ship, it was a well crafted and sturdy Longship with ashwood braces, he named her ''Sixfinger. '' it was his responsibility to find his own crew which proved to be difficult, he could only find enough men to man half the stations on his ship. His brother on the other hand who had been given an identical ship struggled to find places for all his men.

The two brothers joined one another to the Stepstones in hopes of finding pirates and remove them of their cargo, they clashed with a Pirate who proved to be a worthy opponent, Rion was suffering although he was a talented warrior his field marshal skills lacked. Craghorn onl rhe other hand shower his true colors, while his brother was clashing with the pirate attempting to board him, Craghorn and the Sixfinger rammed the Portside or the pirates ship perfectly, the ship began to sink. In an attempt to survive the Pirates rushed for Rions ship where they were met with a vicious flurry of attacks from Rion and his crew. The brothers salvaged loot enough to share amongst their ranks and take home, after this the exploits of the Codd Brothers were told in alehouses all over Lordsport and beyond.

Men from all over began to beg to join the crew of Craghorn who had proved himself a worthy Captain, with all his oars with men and his deck filled with soldiers the Codd Brothers ventured back out to sea to find their next target. They fond one in the shape of a merchant ship, although they discussed the crime they cared very little their plan was to rid the ship of crew and cargo and allow it to sink to the ocean floor.

All went as planned and the Merchant surrendered, Rion who was the compassionate one begged his brother to spare those who had dropped their blades but Craghorn only laughed and gave the order to end their lives. Rions men refused but those loyal to Craghorn carried out the task while the others watched, this was the first point where the Codd Brothers resented one another.

The Codd Scuffle
Their torn relationship began to show not long after their second raid together, in the main hall of Traitors Resr during the celebration of Lord Harren Codds nameday rhe brothers came inti an altercation which resulted in a small fist fight between the two. To most onlookers it was nothing more than what Brothers do, but truly it was the end of the friendship they had. The fight grew larger as men loyal to Rion and Craghorn joined to save their Captain, it escalated to the point where guests in attendance ran from the main hall. All the while Lord Harren watched and cheered on his sons, he knew what the result would be but he wished for his Sons to grow stronger which they would but at a great cost.

The fighting lasted less than an hour but to the boys it was a lifetime, when the last punch was thrown they went their seperate ways. Rion felt that it would all go back to normal by morning, but little did he know that Craghorn and his crew sailed from Traitors Nest in the thick or night with no intention of ever returning.

A Pirates life for me
Craghorn and his crew began the dirty life of pirating through the Stepstones, although they were looting enough money to fill their stores with food Craghorn was longing for a big take so he could return with enough men to destroy his brother. But ever haul seemed to be growing lighter, and every ship seemed to have more guards. The risk was beginning to outweigh the reward so Craghorn had to decide on a course of action so the Sixfinger sailed for Lys in hope of finding work enough to provide them with another ship.

Once in Lys the crew fell in love with the Island, it was nothing like home and the woman were far more beautiful.
