Coryn Wyl

Coryn Wyl was son to Lord Bython Wyl and his wife Mayah Wyl, upon being born, he was immediately declared the Heir of Wyl, and as such was given the best education he could have as the son of a minor lord. He excelled in the martial practices, something not unheard of from the Wyl’s due to their proximity to the Marcher Lords and the Stormlands. It was in his teenage years that he was discovered to be ambidextrous, allowing him to ride into combat with his soon to be signature bastard sword in one hand and his war axe in the next.

He served with distinction in the War of Stone and Sky, where he quickly gained a reputation for ferocity and skill in combat. It was in this war where his Father and younger brother Lyon were killed. He assumed the mantle of Lord of Wyl during the campaign, and his mother managed the estate until she died shortly before Coryn's return.

Appearance and Character:
Lord Coryn Wyl has a clean-shaven face coated in smile lines from rampant laughter. His brown hair is neck-length and swept backwards towards his back in order for a helmet to comfortably sit on his head, as well as as being sleek. His face is slightly angular and attractive, with a set of brown eyes that sparkle with a hint of battle fervor. He often times is seen wearing his well crafted Dornish Armor when managing his estate. His presence alone is staggering, a man of 6ft 5in in height, he is comparable to the legendary warriors of old in height, the Hound.

Coryn is a master blades-man, he is one of few soldiers who has been proven ambidextrous, like the great Arthur Dayne of generations passed. Unlike Dayne, however, Coryn fights with an axe and a bastard sword, a strange combination for a soldier to wield, as a shield is a staple of warfare.

Biography:
Lord Coryn Wyl was born in the year 410 AC, to Lord Bython Wyl and Lady Mayah Wyl. He was born at the beginning of the beginning of the winter, only a short time before Prince Aegon was born. Coryn was raised as well as he possibly could, his parents gave him a fantastic martial education due to the militaristic traditions of House Wyl. He excelled in these endeavors, less so in the intellectual, but enough to be considered passable. When he was seven years old, a younger brother by the name of Lyon was born, Lyon was much the same as Coryn, but lacked the prowess of swordsmanship.

His teenage years were uneventful, and he soon became a striking young man, who vehemently sought out the beds of fair maidens across Wyl. This all came to an abrupt end, when at the age of 24, the War of Stone and Sky broke out. A war of religion, between supporters of R'hllor and the Faith of the Seven. It was in this war where Coryn proved himself to be a valiant and strong willed warrior. He was praised among his troops for valor and skill, and always led from the front. It was in this war where his father and brother were ambushed and killed, causing Coryn to enter a deep depression. He decided that the rebels weren't the just cause, and began to resent them, which manifested in a cold, calculating, cruel fighting style utilized in the many battles to come.

After swearing fealty to Prince Trystane, he turned his blades and army towards the rebels he had once fought for. It soon became inevitable that the rebels would lose, and at the Battle of Godsgrace, that inevitability became reality. Coryn slashed and hacked his way through the men of the lords who convinced his father to take up this forsaken crusade, and truly became a horror to behold.

After the war ended, Coryn's mother passed before Coryn could return to take over properly. Now an orphaned bachelor, Coryn found the concept of his usual debauchery as a relief from the tedium and sorrow that his home now held. He still has not married, waiting for the right moment to finally settle down. His looks earned him many a young lady being offered as a bride, his reputation as a competent and strong man gave him all the more appeal, but still, he did not marry.

Now at the age of 29, Coryn Wyl is ruling over his home of Wyl, and has made it prosperous under the patronage of Prince Trystane. He has maintained his strong military tradition, and is beginning to realize he has no-one left to pass on his skills and experiences to. The thoughts of an heir began swimming in his head, and as such he started his look for a wanted suitor.
