Maric Westerling

Maric Westerling is the son of the recently deceased Lord of the Crag, Martyn Westerling, and his lady wife, Visaera Webber, and the current Lord of the Crag and House Westerling. He became Lord at the age of fifteen when his father was executed after the War of the Three Banners for treason by order of Tysane Lannister.

Appearance and Personality
Average of height and weight, with a little muscle and a bad slouch, Maric is unassuming at best. His chiefest defining feature is his long, bright red auburn hair that he wears in a variety of ways, often changing daily. Paired with his short, well-trimmed beard and a sparse dotting of freckles on his red cheeks, Maric is often overlooked and forgotten, especially in the presence of other gentry and nobility. He has thin, dark blue eyes, and a broad features; a wide set jaw and chin, and a large, slightly crooked nose, the result of a wound during the War of the Three Banners that never quite healed. He has an unusually rosy complexion, exacerbated by the color of his hair and beard. He dresses in plain clothes often preferring coats and extra layers of clothing, mostly in hues of reds and browns accented with gold and silver and furs.

Maric is just as average of temperament as he appears. He is patient, cautious, and quiet, not a lover of taking risks or particularly opulent pleasures. His preference of simplicity and peace and quiet is most molded by his experiences during the war, where he saw horrors that shook him to his core, a green young man of 18 when the conflict broke out in the west. His reservation is not to be mistaken for lack of care or attention, though, as he is endlessly inquisitive, and enjoys learning anything and everything. Though particularly given to reading and writing, he is a brilliant engineer, and honed his skills in the art of siege-craft during the war, gifts he'd in truth rather not have. The war also forged a strong resentment for all types of conflict within him. He has a great, deep-seated fear regarding the Lannisters, which prevents him from leaving the Crag often aside from explicitly important business.
