Myles Drinkwater

Ser Myles Drinkwater, son of Ser Aron Drinkwater and Lady Sarella Dalt, is an relatively unknown Knight in the service of House Yronwood. An excellent swordsman, he hopes to one day be well regarded for his talent.

Appearance and Character
Standing taller than the average man, Myles strikes an imposing figure in his armor. Wearing steel plate on top of a black linen tunic due to his refusal to bear the arms of his House. he strikes an imposing figure. However, when he is not in battle you can oft find him dressed in silk robes dyed the pale yellow of House Yronwood. Regardless of attire, he is quite the dashing man with his piercing blue eyes and short sandy blonde hair catching the attention of many. Myles is unorthodox in his style of fighting, which has him duel wielding longswords. His twin swords are honed constantly in the anticipation of battle, something he has yet to see fully.

Early Life
419 AC - 426 AC Born in 419 AC, he entered the world in a relatively peaceful time. The merchants were once again returning, the wars of before were dissipating and life was good. His birth was an easy one and he was a quiet babe. Growing up faster than expected, he always found climbing somewhere he wasn't supposed to be or stealing food from the kitches.

Adolescence
426 AC - 435 AC Of course, as a child of a Noble Dornish house, Myles was fostered in the Water Gardens alongside other children. There he could often be found fantasizing about war and Knighthood, having always been one for the legends of Ser Arthur Dayne and even Nymeria herself.

When it was time for him to leave Sunspear, he traveled back to Clearstream and trained hard everyday in the art of war. His mother disapproved of his martial inclinations, but his father and brothers couldn't be prouder. After only a year, he was approaching the title of the best fighter in the House. Another year later and he easily laid claim to it. However, such a title requires defending and he constantly engaged in honor duels with passerby Hedge Knights as well as the random Lordling. Winning every duel, he was beginning to gain renown for his skills when everything went wrong.

The War of Stone and Sky
434 AC - 435 AC The Stony Dornishmen had revolted, and Aron Drinkwater was faced with a difficult decision. Deciding the only way to avoid lasting repercussions from the war was to fight on both sides of the war. Sending his eldest Trystane to fight for Martell, and his second son Archibald to fight for Yronwood, he was assured no harm would come to his house. His father told him he wasn't worthy enough to serve in the war for his house, and kept him at home where he drank his days away in the garden. Trystane served with Santagar in the battle of Planky Town, slaying many of Red Reynard's men before being cut down in the heat of battle. His brother Archibald shared the same fate when Lady Ashira Yronwood decided to ambush the Vulture King in the pass to save her own skin. Aggravated at the betrayal of the cause, but understanding why, Aron resigned to living out the rest of his days with his daughter as his heir. 439 AC A marriage was arranged for him by his father Ser Aron Drinkwater and Ser Maric Rowan, in which he was to wed Lady Rosamund Rowan. The ceremony took place in King's Landing.
