Jareth Manderly

Jareth Manderly is the son of Torrhen Manderly and his second wife Lyssa Sunderland. He is the current Lord of White Harbour following his father’s passing in the year 434 AC.

Personality
Jareth is stern and frugal. But he is known to be compassionate with his family, he is often seen as a closed book to those that don’t know him well, with his eyes hiding the inner workings of his mind. He keeps to the age old loyalty to the Starks, for now.

History
Born in year 402 AC, he was not his fathers first son, that title went to Wyman Manderly and as such rather than learning the lordly teachings of warfare and rulership, he learnt how to operate wealth, throughout his childhood, he spent most days on the dock in White Harbour talking to merchants and learning their craft.

When His father marched off to deal with the War Beyond the Wall in 418 AC, he took his first born son with him, leaving Jareth in charge of White Harbour, it was his first challenge at six and ten, and he performed it admirably. He took a girl to bed for the first time over this period, discovering he had a certain way with words, she was little more to him than something to warm his bed at night, but she has remained loyal to his ever since.

When Lord Torrhen Manderly returned home, he did so alone, with Wyman having died in one of the battles beyond the wall, Jareth was not upset, his half-brother and he were not close. They were not of the same blood, and as such they regarded each other with distain mostly. But it left Jareth as the heir of White Harbour.

Torrhen ensured afterwards that he was fit for the role, instructing him in the matters of shipbuilding, as it was vital that House Manderly maintained their fleet once Torrhen was gone.

Jareth did little for many years, simply learning how to rule, while developed his own skills. It was not until 434 AC that he became Lord of White Harbour following his fathers death from old age. The same year he married Jocelyn Stark, quickly falling in love with her, or what felt like love for Jareth, never fully unable to commit himself to her, but he loves his family nonetheless.

Since then he has had two children and prepared White Harbour for his plans.
