Alessander Wylde

Alessander Wylde is the Lord of Rainhouse, as the first son of Valerion Wylde by his wife Jocelyn. Born in late 408 AC, he was very feared for upon birth for any thieves who might've wanted to spirit him away. However, no thieves were ever uncovered. As do all his siblings, he can speak Lysene fluently. He has recently been given the title of Lord Admiral of the South by his liege, Gwayne Baratheon.

He is, unlike his younger brother, a warrior lord.

He is married to Falena Whitehead and by her has a daughter Alerie.

Appearance and character
Alessander is so much alike, and so different from both his father and his brother. A Wylde, through and through, he has the traditional chestnut brown hair, and clear, bright blue eyes. His skin is not a deathly pale shade, like the ones of Erryk and Valerion, but rather, a healthy-looking complexion that cannot be called tan by any means. Things he has, though, are the high cheekbones and full lips. He keeps his hair up to the back of his neck, revealing a light curl ; should it be allowed to grow, it would look much like Erryk's, unrully, thick, and without proper care, messy.

He sports a well-toned physique, from hours of practice and training. Wide-shouldered and broad, he represents a masculine ideal, whereas his brother does not.

Alessander is a strict man of discipline, both for himself and others. Strongly familial, he deems himself a pater familias, in all things, and is naturally decisive. Chivalric, he is dutiful and merciless, unforgiving, though he seems to have soft spot for his brother, who he closely works with. With those he trusts, a rare group of people, he is compassionate and caring, but can be prone to fits of anger and impatience. He is intelligent, and can memorise laws and long passages of historical texts with ease.

The beginning
Born a mere year after his parents' wedding in 407 AC, Alessander inherited many concerns raised as a result of his father's experiences, primarily the kidnapping one. The famous story of the stolen son of Rainhouse struck worry into the hearts of both the parents and the grandparents, so they installed guards at the babe's door, at every given moment.

But he wasn't kidnapped, he was safe, and the heir to Rainhouse could finally relax, for though he wasn't much in love with his wife, he still cared for his own brood.

Two years after Alessander, another screaming baby entered House Wylde - the little Erryk. And three years after that, his only sister, Serra.

The heir
When Alessander was 9 years old, his grandfather, Lord Cedric, passed away from an illness that had been plagueing him for years. Until then, he was happily prancing around, sword in hand, training, as was his duty and enjoyment, under uncle Rhaegar. Now, from that mindless position of the heir's heir, he was trust to the position of the heir, and it terrified him.

To cope with the loss, his brother Erryk closed himself with his books. Alessander, lacking his brother's distinct curiosity and with the childish desire to run away from the death that hung over Rainhouse like a veil, turned to the sea, something his family had prided themselves in for centuries.

Ever since he was born, he was the captain of his own ship, the Boy. Now, with the help of his uncle and an admiral of the House, he would oft find himself on the sea, in the open, the heir would spend more time on the sea than in the room, studying for his role as the lord.

The brother
Valerion Wylde, taking a lesson from his own experience with siblings, did not want the same to happen with his own children. Thus, from an early age, Alessander and his younger brother Erryk played together, but soon after their grandfather's death, the wound was open and left to rot. Erryk, heartbroken over not being allowed to take part in politics once he grew up, distanced himself from his brother, and no matter how much the older boy tried fixing that, it would always end in failure.

But opportunity opened once Alessander was made aware of the fact that he was not born for navigating the world of Westerosi power games. It was his father who suggested that Erryk take up that spot, as the other half of a duo he had in mind for his sons. Both boys agreed, and since then, they've learned to work as a team, their differences set aside in favour of two equally important, but purposefully different factors to the prosperity of Rainhouse.

The warrior
In the early 431 AC, after many years of reign, Lord Valerion Wylde retired from the position and it passed down to his eldest son, Alessander.

In the 432. year since Aegon's conquest, the quiet life the Wylde family led would suddenly change. Ravella's rebellion shook Stormlands to its core, and many were quick to take a side. Lord Alessander sided with his Baratheon cousins, leaving with his ageing uncle to the front lines. In the battles with the Warsmiths and the rebels, he proved himself useful, loyal, powerful. During the Burning of the Rainwood, he rescued commonfolk. He didn't lay a hand on the women and children during the siege of Weeping Town.

The husband and father
After three years of fighting, Alessander came home. But not alone - his uncle had survived, and they brought a woman, Falena Whitehead, who would, in a grand wedding of 435 AC, become the Lady of Rainhouse.

Alessander was smitten with her - a chivalric man, he treated his wife tenderly, as a husband should, and though she was hesitant at first, she slowly came to love him too. So much to give him a child in 436 AC, a daughter they named Alerie. The year after that, his nephew Adrian was born.
