Clayton Yronwood

Ser Clayton Yronwood was once known and liked throughout Dorne. He would be welcomed at the castles throughout the region, being the younger brother of not one, but two Bloodroyals.

He was never quite close with his two elder brothers, one 7 years his elder, the other sent away as a cupbearer. His closest friends were his sisters: Sarella was something like a mother to him, Yennifer was his age, and Ashara his shadow. Those were sad moments when they got married off, especially Sarella, whom he only saw once more in his entire life. Clayton viewed his brothers-in-law with distaste, and would never speak of them unless mentioned by others.

Appearance and Character
Clayton looks like your favourite shirt after you leave it lying in the washer for a week.

He was once a handsome and charismatic young man, but his days of glory are long behind. Once tall and slender, he now proudly wears pot belly, but he can proudly say that his strength has not diminished like his stature.

Youth
Clayton was the fourth child and third son of Lord Yoren and Lady Hunter, this meant that he would never inherit the last fortress of the Boneway. It *did* grant him a lot of freedom, however. He grew up in Yronwood and was trained by the master-of-arms, while his two brothers were sent to other castles across the realm as page and squire. His best friends would be his sisters, bossy Sarella, gentle Yennifer, and wild Ashara.

Knighthood
He was knighted by the

Madness
It is debated what truly caused Clayton's madness. Was it some strange and alien snake or insect in the Dornish deserts? Was it the parting of an unknown loved one, mayhaps his sisters? In fact, was he really insane when his two nephews imprisoned him, mere two weeks after the death of his brother? He will stay in his tower room for the next 8 years.

Imprisonment
His hope grew when Ormond Yronwood died, and Nymor succeeded him, but by then the imprisonment was already taking its toll on him. Nymor did, however, have him transferred to a better room on top of the Iron Tower.

Clayton plots for escape multiple times, some with more success than others, but all resulting in capture. He had given up by 406 AC.

Great Tourney of Harrenhal
As a reward for his good behaviour, and in hope that he may get better at the sight of jousting and melee fights, he was allowed to go to the Great Tourney of Harrenhal. This proved to be a terrible mistake, and his freedom ended after chasing two Riverlands ladies across the castle grounds, naked.

Soon, he escaped from the window of his room soon after and participated in the Tourney as the mystery knight - The Door Knight. Clayton was knocked off the horse in his first tilt by Ser Leyton Hightower.
