Early Years
Ryon was born to Jojen and Jayne Glover in the year 409 AC

Like his brother Ryon was raised to be a soldier but unlike him he was stronger in single combat. He always saw his future as acting as a guard to his father and afterwards his older brother.

Ryon showed that he took after his father in terms of caring for the homestead. He would often stay up late and help his dad go over messages and ledgers pertaining to the upkeep of Deepwood Motte.

When Ryon was ten he was sent to squire under Lord Jason Forrester who was his father's oldest friend and most trusted Vassal.

Adult Years
At the start of 415 AC Ryon was married to Ayla Forrester, daughter to Lord Jason Forrester. The two had grown close during his time as Lord Forrester's squire. The year following the wedding the couple welcomed the birth of the twin boy and girl Jason and Sarra. Following the birth Master Jojen requested that Ryon and his family relocate to Deepwood Motte which Lord Forrester agreed too.

418 AC brought The War Beyond the Wall. While Jojen and Benjen marched North with the Northern host Ryon stayed behind to act as Master of Deepwood Motte. The war ended and all was quiet in the North again.

Wedding of Riverrun
Ryon joined his father south to attend the Wedding of Lord Tully to Lady Stark's cousin Gilliane. While there he spoke to Aerion Targaryen and his wife Elyana Dayne. It was his first interaction with members of the royal family and their view on life was interest to Ryon catching his attention.

The Wedding ended with tragedy as news came of the death of Lord Umber, husband of Lady Stark. She declared that the army of the North would once again march to face the Wildling force beyond the wall.

Ryon found himself on the road back to Deepwood Motte to lead it as his father and brother marched North with Lady Stark and the Northern host.

Siege of Deepwood Motte
While the army of the North was fighting up at the wall the Wildlings launched a sneak attack that took Deepwood Motte by surprise. 2500 Wildlings and 50 longships had the Keep surrounded. 13 days passed and Ryon held the forces of Deepwood Motte together. During this time not a single man was lost. At the end of the 13th day Lord Forrester came to the aid of Deepwood Motte in a battle now know as Glover's Gambit. Although Lord Forrester was able to take the Wildlings by surprise they were still greatly outnumbered and were forced to retreat after taking heavy loses. The gambit did succeed in weakening the Wildlings numbers and causing them to no longer risk attacking the Keep. For five more days the siege of Deepwood Motte continued until the remainder of the Northern Army lead by Lady Cerwyn, wife to Ryon's brother, arrived from Winterfell and broke the siege. During the battle the gates of Deepwood Motte were raised and the defenders rushed out to help defeat the Wildlings. It was during this fighting that Ryon's wife was killed.
