Domeric Waters

Ser Domeric Waters is the proprietor of the Knightspiral Tavern in King's Landing. A former knight in service of Houses Massey and Cressey, he retired his spurs over a decade ago to settle into the life of an innkeep. He has recently reconnected with Lady Margot Massey after her relocation to King's Landing

Appearance and Character
Domeric's long face has finally begun to show his age, with crow's feet at the corners of his bright brown eyes, creases framing his strong, hooked nose, and salt in his peppery dark hair. Once a brawny, muscled warrior, the retired knight now possesses the same large frame, gone a bit doughy.

History
Born to Ser Ryam Massey, and a serving girl named Taena, Domeric was afforded the typical upbringing of a noble bastard. At Stonedance, he received an education, and training in the yard. Finding a talent for wielding the massive warhammer, he was knighted at age eighteen.

After earning his spurs, he accepted the position of master-at-arms for House Cressey. Several years into his service, Mycah Massey and his daughter Margot were banished from Stonedance, and took up residence at the Cressey castle, Greycrest. Hoping to teach Margot to defend herself against her abusive father, he began training her to wield a sword.

Having had his fill of the abusive Mycah Massey, he confronted the drunkard one day, and struck him down. The reward for such an act was dismissal from his position. Bitter and jaded, he gave up his life as a knight and moved to King's Landing. Pouring his life's earnings into a rundown inn located on the Street of Flour, he fixed up the building and renamed it the Knightspiral Tavern.

Ten years later, the rooms are rarely vacant, and he enjoys brisk patronage in his public house. Well-established in the neighborhood, he maintains long standing relationships with the other shops and tradesmen, as well more illegitimate ones that lurk in the shadows. Such shady connections proved useful when Winter arrived, allowing his tavern to remained somewhat stocked while others closed shop.

To his pleasant surprise, Lady Margot Massey strolled into his tavern one day, and regaled him with her tale of how she escaped her abusive father. Eager to make up for abandoning his former pupil, he initially helped her gather the gossip and rumors that blew through his patronage. Before long, he had earned Margot's trust, and while he still does not know whom the woman truly works for, he has allowed the Knightspiral to become her base of operations outside the Red Keep.
