Appearance and Character
Erryk Grafton is younger than he looks. His dark brown hair is tinged white white at the temples and his hazel eyes are the small tired eyes of an insomniac. At 182cm tall he is slightly taller than average but not exactly noticeably so. Where he distinguishes himself from others though is in his sheer strength having spent most of his youth aboard ships sent away to travel the world to be safeguarded from the troubles that plagued his family. His years rigging ships and fighting off pirates has given him very broad shoulders and an incredible upper body strength. He has grown accustomed to leaving his beard to grow having been essentially raised at sea where such trivialities hardly matter.

He used to be humorous as a child but life took care of that  through his a troubled upbringing. The loss of his mother aged five has made him Cynical and the fear of forgetting the few living memories he has of her troubles him greatly. He has always been dutiful, conscious of his responsibilities as sole male heir to one of Westeros' major cities. As such he has increasingly devoted himself to the duties of Lord seeking to lighten the load his father has to deal with. By taking on more duties he has become increasingly reclusive burying himself in ledgers and hosting foreign dignitaries.

As an escape from this he has several pastimes that would be considered improper for a knight which he turns to when he needs to escape his responsibilities for a while. His love of the sea is something he has been neglected since he took up his responsibilities save for when Erryk has been tasked to lead the occasional delegation of Gulltown merchants to Pentos, Volantis and further afield. To counter this, Erryk has become a prodigious planner and has often disappears for weeks on end after clearing his responsibilities to take his Waverider out to the narrow sea and plunder passing ships leaving no survivors. By doing so he secures himself a healthy extra income from the seized goods which he often sells to smugglers via a proxy in ports on either side of the narrow sea. Erryk is also a great amateur of Bloodsports and enjoys viewing and betting on fighters in duels and pits from around the narrow sea. his generosity with his wealth has made him various trusted contacts and friends among customs officials and harbour masters.
