History
Ofal was born in 370, the child of Ser Alekyn Florent and a Lyseni merchant's daughter. His mother died in childbirth, and Ofal Flowers was sent to live with his father's family.

He proved to be smart and was sent to the citadel when his father died in 379 AC. House Florents believe that having a maester who isn't a spy and servant of the Hightowers could be crucial to their plan of reclaiming their title, land and Brightwater Keep.

At the age of 10, he became a novice, in training to become a maester. 2 years later, Ofal earned his first chain in crowery, and proceeded to earn a new chain almost every year, earning all twelve chains when he was 24. 394 years after the conquest, Ofal became a maester.

Ofal did not go to any lord's household, but instead chose to remain at Oldtown to continue his studies. One day in 399 AC, he was called suddenly by an archmaester, he was to serve House Florent. Perhaps his family wasn't powerless after all.
